Essential Readings for Today’s Christian Thinker

By Jason North On October 29, 2011 · 2 Comments

Ok, here’s a reading list comprised of a few months of research. This should provide a well-rounded and thorough grounding in mankind’s most essential knowledge. The idea for this was borne out of necessity, because I decided it wouldn’t make sense for me to get a degree to obtain knowledge on the diverse areas I [...]

Reducing the Church’s ‘Noise’

By Jason North On October 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment

When everyone is vying for each others’ attention, what should we actually pay attention to?

If ‘everyone lives by selling something’, are we selling what’s important?

It’s easier than ever to attract attention at little or no cost [vlogs, blogs, etc, etc]. But will we do what deserves attention?

With it being easier than ever [...]

Rationalizing Our Eventual Destruction

By Jason North On October 9, 2011 · 2 Comments

As I write this, I am hopeful, optimistic, confident and strong in faith in our capability to pursue a better future for upcoming generations.

Yet, how many of us do we observe that will try to falsely rationalize the abdication of our responsibility to make something better?

How many of us are settled with the [...]

Visually Expecting Our Future

By Jason North On October 2, 2011 · Leave a Comment

For humanity as a whole, what kind of life do we want our children and grandchildren to live?

Do we want food, shelter, and clothing to be easily accessible? Do we want them to have the ability to easily access an ever-expanding resource of free knowledge, opportunities for connection, and ideas? Do we want them [...]

The Future of the Church [& humanity]

By Jason North On September 25, 2011 · 2 Comments

The future depends on our ability to make new connections. 

Our compartmentalized religions, traditions, politics, and social systems, I believe, restrict true flourishing of humanity and the propagation of God.

Historically, when one person, one thinker, one believer, sets out to revamp existing norms, to search out Truth, then finds and spreads the revelation of [...]

Faith in Self

By Jason North On September 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment

To know God is to be humble, aware of our weakness, confident in our strengths, and to know it’s not just by our ability that an outcome is realized, it is powered and directed by Him.

There was a time when I was so engrossed in my career, my plans, my fulfillment and general self-gratification, [...]

Confidence in Selflessness

By Jason North On September 12, 2011 · 5 Comments

May our future be filled with people that use their ego correctly. The ego is a creative mechanism that, when self-centered, is ineffective. Our ego can’t be stepped on when our sole desire is to use our goal-oriented mechanisms for the gain of others.

It seems increasingly more apparent that we each desire meaning and [...]

Divine Job-Hunting

By Jason North On September 6, 2011 · 2 Comments

This is no time to dawdle. We are making history, and it’s important to make sure the words in those history books depict a beautiful metamorphosis.

We are facing many issues globally and individually, and we must ask ourselves how we’ll respond to it.

We must know that something better is necessary, possible, and will [...]

How Purpose Brings Self-Control

By Jason North On September 1, 2011 · 5 Comments

Our ability to master and control ourselves is dependent on our self-worth, self-knowledge, sense of purpose, and an abundance mentality.

For example, being able to reject….

Pornography Drugs and over-use of alcohol Using divisive and overly sarcastic remarks Over-eating Over-reacting emotionally to a situation Laziness Trivial entertainment Self-righteousness Arrogance A need for control Etc

…is [...]
