  “So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.” Ecclesiastes‬ ‭8:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Anyone can savour the taste of good food, and enjoy the talents in good entertainment, especially when the appetite is great and the body is in excellent state of health. But when the body is shutting down, that’s when everyone truly appreciates the grace in good appetite and good mental coordination.

Whereas, the scriptures teaches the understanding of time and judgment, including the responsibility of everyone as a cool Corp, instead of seeking a forceful licence as a crime Corp. While a crime Corp cannot guarantee a total control of criminality in a state, a cool Corp can c...

“All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭8:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/ecc.8.9.nkjv God ordains power and authority for effective government in the affairs of men. This divine order enables decency and order to thrive in the environment where respect for the power of civil authority is fully embraced. All, whether in the civic society, corporate institution, and any civilized administration, including the affairs of children of God, are enjoined to understand and appreciate the centrality of the power bestowed on human government. There is incontestable power to ban, burn, and banish any offender, even when any reasonable mind can easily mirror the injustice in the human order and authority. However, there is a precious privilege above the privileges of civic power and authority - it is the privilege of patience in prayer. Within the series of times...
