The Lord, Himself, taught us to pray like this . . .
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

A legitimate Government will govern with the informed consent of its
people. Dictatorships which use force against the will of the
people are not legitimate; and they should be replaced.
Governments which lie to their people in order to obtain consent are not
legitimate; and they should be replaced. Just as Mankind is God's
trustee for taking good care of the Earth, so each Government is God's
trustee for taking good care of the people under its jurisdiction.
WITH POWER COMES RESPONSIBILITY
This is a true saying, supported by Scripture.
First, we know that all power belongs to God.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created
him; male and female he created them.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and
multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the
fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living
thing that moves upon the earth."
[29] And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its
fruit; you shall have them for food.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and
to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath
of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.
[31] And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very
good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
In the USA, this fusion has grown up within a social/cultural
environment of common shared values, including: belief
in certain human rights, among which are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; belief in the political equality of
all citizens; the right to own private property,
including real estate; the right to enter into contracts; various
other rights of personal freedom, including freedom
of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of association; and
recognition of a Divine Being, who created mankind for His own
purposes and Who gave all of these rights to man, for the benefit
of mankind.
Without these shared values -- or something very
similar to them -- it would be unreasonable to expect that Democratic
Capitalism could succeed.

And these six purposes can be numbered (enumerated) like this . . .
These six purposes are the very essence of the "original intent" of our Founders.
The specific requirements for things that the U.S. Government MUST do are spelled out
in the various Articles and Amendments, which follow later, after the six purposes are
announced.
For details, please see
http://www.loveallpeople.org/usconstitution.html .
The Need For Regulation Of Capitalism To Prevent Its Naturale Abuses
Capitalism and Democracy are compatible, as
long as the Capitalists are regulated carefully by the Democratically-elected
Government so that the Public
interest is best served.
This is not a radical idea,
but an obvious fact, if you
think about it. Profit-seeking corporations exist to make a profit, and
the more profit, the better. Anything which increases profits is
good for them; and anything which decreases profits is bad. So they try to
do whatever is necessary to make profits.
This is the essence of
Laissez-faire Capitalism: that profit-seeking
corporations should be left alone to do whatever they choose to do in
order to make profits.
Employees get paid to help the company make a profit, not to be a
do-gooder for the general Public. Just suppose a local manager decided to
give away $1,000,000 of the company's money to build a playground for
the neighborhood children. "The kids need the playground!," he says.
Unless
this playgound were part of some co-ordinated Public Relations
effort, intended ultimately to produce greater profit, the employee would
probably be fired, and replaced by someone with a better profit-making
attitude.
Suppose an auto manufacturer had some kind of a safety problem, perhaps
gas tanks that sometimes exploded on impact. And suppose it would cost a
hundred
million dollars to fix the problem, but it would only cost ten million to
let the problem continue, and pay off the victims who sued and won. What
do
you suppose the company would do? It would let the problem continue, of
course! Deny that a problem exists, claim it was the user's fault, and pay
off damages only when forced to do so. These kinds of decisions happen all
the time. Why do you suppose the corporations are so eager to get "Tort
Reform?" To limit their payoffs for damages, of course! So their profits
aren't hurt so much! "To hell with the Public," they think. "They should
be more careful!"
And if the Management of a profit-seeking corporation ever did choose the
Public interest
over a higher profit (unless it were forced to do so by some kind of
government regulation), then that corporation would be violating its
financial duty to its stockholders. And the stockholders would be entitled
to replace the do-gooder Management with a profit-oriented Management.
UNREGULATED PROFIT-SEEKING CORPORATIONS HARM THE PUBLIC THESE FIVE
WAYS
Unregulated profit-seeking corporations harm the public these five
ways. We are talking mainly about the larger, publicly-traded,
profit-seeking
corporations like those whose stocks are traded on the stock exchanges.
But the same ideas can apply to any unregulated profit-seeking
corporation, even the
smaller ones and the private ones.
We recognize that profit-seeking corporations can be a great force for
good in the world,
creating and providing wonderful goods and services that would be
unavailable by any other means. But we also recognize that if they are
unregulated, they harm the public these five ways. An unregulated
corporation is like a loose elephant in your neighborhood. Who can stop
it from trampling over whatever it chooses?
1. NOT PAY TAXES -In order to maximize profits, they always seek to avoid or
minimize their taxes.
2. ELIMINATE COMPETION -In order to maximize profits, they always seek to
eliminate or
control their competition.
3. CUT WAGES AND SALARIES - In order to maximize profits, they always seek
to reduce their labor
costs.
4. DISREGARD THE ENVIRONMENT - In order to maximize profits, they always
seek to avoid
all environmental restraints.
5. SELL DANGEROUS, HARMFUL PRODUCTS - In order to maximize profits, they
are tempted to sell dangerous
or harmful products.
So what should we do? We need profit-seeking corporations because they
are very efficient and very innovative. They are quick to provide products
and services to fill needs, if the profit is there. They can do great
things very quickly. But they cannot be trusted to protect the Public, if
it hurts their profits to do so. And it is unreasonable to expect that
they should - unless they are somehow compelled to do it. But we cannot
allow them simply to run loose, like rampaging elephants, trampling down
whatever is in their path.
The answer is GOVERNMENT REGULATION! Yes, Government Regulation of
profit-seeking corporations.
Reasonable regulations, applied fairly, so that all the companies are in
the same
boat and nobody gets any special advantage. This is not difficult to do,
but
it does require some effort. And it requires going against the current
right-wing Republican policies of
Laissez-faire Capitalism: that profit-seeking
corporations should be left alone to do whatever they choose to do in
order to make profits.
President Theodore Roosevelt wrote these words almost a hundred years
ago, They applied then, and they still apply today.

Declaration Of Faith
The Apostles' Creed
This historic affirmation of faith comes to us from the early
centuries of the Christian church.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
The holy catholic church; *
The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body;
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
* Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of
believers in Christ, not just one particular church.
Featured Segment . . . "The Proper Role Of Governments In The World."
LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENTS
Legitimate Governments are established and maintained by
God
for the purpose
of maximizing the happiness and well-being of the people within their
jurisdiction. The people should obey the laws and regulations of
their
legitimate Government.
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God: the powers that
be are ordained of God.
"Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth
the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall
receive to themselves damnation."
(Romans 13:1-2 KJV)
Does this means that we must always do whatever our Government wants us
to do, no matter what? No, it does not. Jesus says that we should give
the Government whatever rightly belongs to it. But we should
give God whatever rightly belongs to God. This proves that the
government's rightful powers over us are not unlimited.
"Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar
the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things
that are God's." (Matthew 22:21b KJV)
Moreover, God requires the Government to rule wisely and to
do good, not evil to the people. The Government is supposed to be "the
minister of God to thee for good."
"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the
evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do
that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
"For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if
thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not
the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a
revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."
(Romans 13:3-4 KJV)
But what if the Government fails in its obligation to do good? What if
it does evil continuously? Then it loses its authority from God and
becomes illegitimate; and it should then be replaced with a better
Government. That is exactly what happened at the time of the American
Revolution. The Government of England was doing evil continuously to
the American colonists. Thus it needed to be replaced.
"With power, comes responsibility."
We are responsible to God for our
use of whatever power He entrusts to us.
STEWARDSHIP OF THE EARTH
"Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power
belongs to God;" (Psalms 62:11 RSV)
1 CHRONICLES 29:11-12 (RSV)
_____________________________________________________________
11
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the
glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is
in the heavens and in the earth is thine; thine is the
kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
12
Both riches and honor come from thee, and thou rulest over
all. In thy hand are power and might; and in thy hand it
is to make great and to give strength to all.
_____________________________________________________________
Then we know that we are accountable to God for everything He entrusts
to us. This is the basic doctrine of Stewardship, as explained in
the Parable Of The Talents.
_____________________________________________________________
MATTHEW 25: 14-30 (RSV)
Parable Of The Talents
14
"For it will be as when a man going on a journey called
his servants and entrusted to them his property;
15
to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another
one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.
16
He who had received the five talents went at once and
traded with them; and he made five talents more.
17
So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more.
18
But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the
ground and hid his master's money.
19
Now after a long time the master of those servants came
and settled accounts with them.
20
And he who had received the five talents came forward,
bringing five talents more, saying, 'Master, you delivered
to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.'
21
His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful
servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set
you over much; enter into the joy of your master.'
22
And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying,
'Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made
two talents more.'
23
His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful
servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set
you over much; enter into the joy of your master.'
24
He also who had received the one talent came forward,
saying, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping
where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not
winnow;
25
so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the
ground. Here you have what is yours.'
26
But his master answered him, 'You wicked and slothful
servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and
gather where I have not winnowed?
27
Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers,
and at my coming I should have received what was my own
with interest.
28
So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has
the ten talents.
29
For to every one who has will more be given, and he will
have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has
will be taken away.
30
And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness;
there men will weep and gnash their teeth.'
_____________________________________________________________
Finally, we know that if we know what is right, and fail to do it if it
is within our power, that is a sin. Such sins are known as "sins of
omission."
"Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for
him it is sin." (James 4:17 RSV)
Therefore we can correctly conclude that, "With Power, Comes
Resonsibility." We are responsible to God for our use of whatever power
He entrusts to us.

God Gave Man The Power And Authority To Rule Over All The Earth
[26]
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."
We Are Accountable To God For Our Management Of
Everything He Has Entrusted To Us Here On EarthThe More He Gives To Us, The More He Requires From Us
MATTHEW 25:14-30 (KJV) "The Parable Of The Talents"
NOTE: A "talent" was a sum of money
equal to about two years wages.
14
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into
a far country, who called his own servants, and
delivered unto them his goods.
15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two,
and to another one; to every man according to his
several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16
Then he that had received the five talents went and
traded with the same, and made them other five
talents.
17
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained
other two.
18
But he that had received one went and digged in the
earth, and hid his lord's money.
19
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh,
and reckoneth with them.
20
And so he that had received five talents came and
brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou
deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have
gained beside them five talents more.
21
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and
faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22
He also that had received two talents came and said,
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I
have gained two other talents beside them.
23
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful
servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou
into the joy of thy lord.
24
Then he which had received the one talent came and
said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man,
reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where
thou hast not strawed:
25
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the
earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and
slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I
sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have
received mine own with usury.
28
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto
him which hath ten talents.
29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he
shall have abundance: but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
"For unto whomsoever much is given, of him
shall be much required:" (Luke 12:48b KJV)
"Democratic Capitalism" is the practical fusion of Capitalism and Democracy,
in which the free market productive benefits of Capitalism are
merged with the social
justice benefits of Democracy, resulting in "the greatest good for the greatest
number, with basic rights for all."
The Six Purposes Of The United States Government
The six purposes of the United States Government are clearly announced in the very first
words of the United States Constitution . . .
For more about Democracy, please see =>
http://www.lifeofgeorgewashington.org/supersearch-democracy.html
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the
general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,
do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Source: The Constitution Of The United States, shown at
http://www.loveallpeople.org/usconstitution.html
1. To form a more perfect Union.
Everything that the U.S. Government is authorized to do (at its discretion) falls under
one or more of these six enumerated purposes.
2. To establish Justice.
3. To insure domestic Tranquility.
4. To provide for the common defence.
5. To promote the general Welfare.
6. To secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.
Tipping The Balance Too Far To The Right, In Favor Of The Free-Market Capitalists, Against The Public Interest
GOVERNMENT REGULATION IS A GOOD THING, A NECESSARY THING,
TO KEEP CORPORATIONS ON A LEASH, NOT RUNNING LOOSE IN PUBLIC,
UNRESTRAINED BY ANYTHING IN THEIR PERPETUAL QUEST FOR MAXIMUM PROFITS. THIS IS WHAT GOVERNMENT IS FOR!
Unregulated profit-seeking corporations cannot be trusted to
protect the Public, because their main objective is to make
profits, not to be a do-gooder for the Public. Whenever profit-making
conflicts with
the Public interest, profit-making wins! Thus they become Predators on the Public,
not Protectors of the Public.
The inherent tensions between Capitalism and Democracy are not new.
We have faced them before, about a hundred
years ago, and we resolved them then, largely under leadership of
President Theodore Roosevelt. But now they have re-emerged in new
forms, under the permissive, look-the-other-way eye of the Republican
party's Anti-regulation extremists, who have tipped the balance too far to
the right, in favor of the unrestrained free-market Capitalists.
"I hold that a corporation does ill if it seeks profit in
restricting production and then by extorting high prices
from the community by reason of the scarcity of the product;
through adulterating, lyingly advertising,
or over-driving the help; or replacing men workers with children;
or by rebates; or in any illegal or improper manner driving
competitors out of its way; or seeking to achieve monopoly by
illegal or unethical treatment of its competitors, or in any shape
or way offending against the moral law either in connection with
the public or with its employees or with its rivals. Any
corporation which seeks its profit in such fashion is acting
badly. It is, in fact, a conspiracy against the public welfare
which the Government should use all its powers to suppress.
"If, on the other hand, a corporation seeks profit solely by
increasing its products through eliminating waste, improving its
processes, utilizing its by-products, installing better machines,
raising wages in the effort to secure more efficient help,
introducing the principle of coöperation
and mutual benefit, dealing fairly with labor unions, setting its
face against the underpayment of women and the employment of
children; in a word, treating the public fairly and its rivals
fairly: then such a corporation is behaving well. It is an
instrumentality of civilization operating to promote abundance by
cheapening the cost of living so as to improve conditions
everywhere throughout the whole community."

"All The Way My Saviour Leads Me,"
- by Fanny J. Crosby
ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME - by Fanny J. Crosby, 1875
- Public Domain -
All the way my Saviour leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His faithful mercies,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him do dwell;
For I know whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Saviour leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me strength for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo, a spring of joy I see.
All the way my Saviour leads me,
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised,
In my Father's house above;
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages:
"Jesus led me all the way."
Prayer For You
Your Intellect Alone Is Not Enough
NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I speak
it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it is the same
as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
"Your Intellect Alone Is Not Enough"
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5 KJV)
Your intellect alone is not enough
To guide you through this life you have on earth;
For many of the world's most brilliant men
Are lost, like drunkards stumbling through the night.
But once the Holy Spirit dwells in you,
He lights your path, illuminates the dark,
He gives you answers to your deepest quests,
Where intellect alone would surely fail.
And so I pray the Lord will dwell in you,
And let His holy presence guide your life.
Then if you ask your mind for its assent
Your mind will cheerfully affirm His truths.
In Jesus' name I pray for you, Amen.
