God has not given us one set of leadership principles for marriage relationships, another set for biological family relationships, and yet another for relationships in the larger (church) family. Though each sphere of influence broadens in terms of function and responsibility, the basic leadership principles are the same. A husband is to be a servant-leader to his wife, a father is to be a servant-leader in his family, and elders/overseers are to be servant-leaders in the family of God.

America was NOT founded on business

America was NOT founded on business

I heard a speaker on the radio say a few days ago that “America was founded on business”. He was making that false statement to pursuade listeners that his topic was worthy of their attention – especially in this time of heightened patriotism.

Don’t be fooled. Business is not what drew the pilgrims here. Freedom from religious persecution was one of the larger aspirations. They started with nothing, and most of them died in the first Winter. Something deeper and more relevant than business moves a person to risk their very life. The ability to live and raise their families in a land free from the tyrrany of a meddling, religiously oppressive government and State Church was what most of the early settlers were after.

A lot of people will twist reality to manipulate people to follow their cause. Don’t be gullible. Think!

Now, do you believe this article is true?
