"IF IT WERE NOT SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU." - Jesus

Human knowledge is a fraction of the universe. The
balance is a vast void of human ignorance. Human
reason cannot fully function in a void, thus, the
intellect can rise no higher than the criteria by
which it perceives and measures values.Humanism makes
man his own standard of measure, however, as with all
measuring systems, a standard must be greater than the
value measured.Based on ignorance and an eg-centric
carnal nature, humanism demotes reason to the
simpleton task of excuse-making in behalf of the rule
of feelings, appetites, and glands.Because man cannot
invent criteria greater than himself, the humanist
lacks a predictive capability. Without transcendent
criteria, humanism cannot evaluate options with
foresight for survival and progression. Without
foresight or instinct, man is blind to potential
consequence and is unwittingly committed to
mediocrity, averages, and regression - and worse.The
void of human ignorance can easily be filled with a
functional faith while not-so-patiently awaiting the
foot-dragging growth of human knowledge and behavior.
Faith, initiated by the Creator and revealed and
validated in His Word, the Bible, brings a
Transcendent Standard to man the choice-maker. Other
religions and philosophies are man-made, humanism, and thereby lack Transcendent Criteria and fulfilled
prophetic validation. The vision of faith in God and
His Word is survival equipment for today and the
future.Man is earth's Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is
by nature and nature's God a creature of Choice - and
of CRITERIA. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and
definitive characteristic is, and of Right ought to
be, the natural foundation of his institutions,
environments, and respectful relations to his
fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom whose
roots are in the Order of the universe. Let us proclim
it. Behold! The SEASON of Generation-Choicemaker. JOEL
