Making Life Work

    In the coming issues of Living to Win, Christian Educational Ministries will present a series of articles concerning the unprecedented changes in economic conditions around the world, their impact on the World Order, and how these rapid developments could affect you personally in light of Scripture. Before we begin, prudence dictates we first understand the predominant schools of economic thought which have greatly influenced monetary and fiscal policies in the West over the past 100 years.

    John Maynard Keynes (1883- 1946), son of a respected British economist, attended Eton and Cambridge where he later lectured in economics. Keynes held that capitalism was inherently flawed and that a stable economy depended...

From Ronald L. Dart's Born to Win Notes  

    In my years of education, from the first grade in 1940, until I graduated from high school in 1952, I don’t remember hearing of a single school shooting.

    I went off to the Navy for four years, and then to college for six years, and I still don’t recall hearing of a single school shooting. Now, it has become like an epidemic. Has something changed?

    Were there just as many school shootings in years gone by and we just didn’t hear about them? Did the media just treat them as isolated tragedies? Are we hearing about these shootings now because of the gun control movement?

    I do remember a group of kids taking shelter under a tree in a thunderstorm. They were all killed when...

    We had almost finished dinner at the restaurant when a man in a black suit approached us and asked whether he could perform a few magic tricks for us. I politely declined his offer.

    He then quite happily made his way to the next table. I couldn’t help but to curiously watch him ply his tricks there, and what he did was quite amazing. He threw a red ball into the air and it simply disappeared! The look of surprise and fascination was evident on the faces of everyone seated at that table. “Is seeing believing?” I wondered.

    A friend of mine once lamented that he had never seen any miracles in his life. He implied that our belief in what really matters might be enhanced by being witness to some supernatural...

From Ronald L. Dart's Born to Win program notes.

    Cops nationwide rank methamphetamines the number one drug they battle today. It has surpassed marijuana, cocaine, and heroin, and usage is growing by leaps and bounds. It takes people to highs they have never before experienced, and then it destroys them—physically, mentally, and morally.

    How fast is it growing? Take the town of Towanda, Pennsylvania—a little town of 3000 people. No one there had ever heard of the drug until a cooker/dealer set up shop there. Five years later, the police have identified at least 500 people who are using or cooking the drug in the county. And they don’t know about all of them. The US Attorney says the actual tally is probably “significantly worse” than...

    Not long ago, in a discussion that followed a worship service, the conversation made its way to Judgment Day. Much to my surprise, three ministers in the group felt that because they had repented of their sins prior to baptism, that was good enough, and they would not have to stand on that sea of glass and face Jesus Christ for the sins they committed after baptism. We can settle that argument and find the biblical answer in Ronald Dart’s book, The Thread - God’s Appointments With History.

    “Most of what you hear about Judgment Day owes more to the imagination of man than to the Bible. . . As Paul said, ‘It is appointed for men to die once, but after...
