More From John Owen

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

There was a time when only specialized christian missionaries needed to be able to defend the gospel of jesus christ against the attacks of islam. today every christian has an opportunity and obligation to present the gospel effectively and in christian love to the muslims who have permeated our western society. when your neighbor, your mechanic, your favorite basketball player, your employer or employee, or even your children's friends could very well be muslims, the need for proper understanding and an effective christian witness is abundantly clear.

Great winds and storms help fruit-bearing trees. so also do corruptions and temptations help the fruitfulness of grace and holiness. the storm loosens the earth round its roots so the tree is able to get its roots deeper into the earth, where it receives fresh supplies of nourishment. but only much later will it be seen to bring forth better fruit. so corruptions and temptations develop the roots of humility, self-abasement and mourning in a deeper search for that grace by which holiness grows strong. but only later will there be visible fruits of increased holiness.

Machiavel, discoursing on these matters, finds virtue to be so essentially necessary to the establishment and preservation of liberty, that he thinks it impossible for a corrupted people to set up a good government, or for a tyranny to be introduced if they be virtuous; and makes this conclusion, 'that where the matter (that is, the body of the people) is not corrupted, tumults and disorders do not hurt; and where it is corrupted, good laws do no good:' which being confirmed by reason and experience, i think no wise man has ever contradicted him.

Unless they can pass the same test that immigrants must pass to become citizens, people shouldnt be allowed to vote. the idea that there is some public benefit in ignoramuses and morons pulling levers next to names on a ballot is one of the evil myths of post-modern america. the purpose of voting, in our country, is to select men and women with the competence and integrity to operate the mechanics of government fixed by our constitution. for this process to have any public benefit requires that the choices be made on an intelligent, knowledgeable and reasoned basis.

The most important thing for people to know about the governance of the arctic is that we have a chance now to act to maintain the integrity of the system or to lose it. to lose it means that we will dismember the vital systems that make the arctic work. it's not just a cost to the people who live there. it's a cost to all people everywhere.
