7 Rules for Living.

  1. Stop being so nice. Niceness is destroying the fabric of moral society, as niceness is often in opposition to truthfulness. Instead, be kind. Be generous.

    We are called to kindness, to not repaying evil with evil.

    Being nice is the world’s version of moral uprightness, but should not be a Christian’s.

  2. Don’t tell someone to do anything. Don’t give orders, even at work. Instead, ask them to do the task. You’ll find it will get done, anyway, and they will do a better job, at that.

  3. Whenever you tell a child that they ought to do something, also explain to them why they should do it the way that you are telling them to.

    When the time comes for you to issue them an order that might save their life, they will have implicit trust that what you are telling them to do has rational backing.

  4. Keep your family together, above all. Don’t get the divorce. Don’t convince yourself that the grass is greener on the other side.

    A marriage isn’t about love, but commitment, and blood. You sacrifice that commitment, and you sacrifice your honor, and you will find that your blood will hold a grudge against you, for life.

    You will only gain freedom. You will never profit in love.

  5. Put God first. Before your wife or children or mother or father. God first, always.

    Put your wife or husband before the children. This is God’s order.

    What is right comes first. Your mate comes second. The children come third.

  6. Seek Revelation, not to accumulate facts.

    Revelation is the key to moral, emotional and spiritual growth. Revelations have transformative value. And what is best, is that they present knowledge in the most forceful and impactful way possible.

    Advice can sway someone off a bad decision, but only if presented with persuasive power. Epiphany and revelation supplies a knockout punch of persuasive power.

    Get revelation. Seek it out as if it was an invaluable metal. Then share it. Because all wisdom is birthed out of revelation knowledge.

    Facts are but nails and screws that hold theories together. Revelation is the moment of inspiration for the schematic itself.

  7. Get a career, not a job.

    If you are going to have children and get married, a job no longer cuts it. Leave the shelf stocking to the college students. Instead, have your eyes on accumulating flocks and herds, like the great biblical men of old.

    The left has taxed us so much that having a job simply leaves you at the mercy of the government. You are a slave to their social safety system.

    Seek a career. You will know you have a career when you can take a week off any time you want, at a moment’s notice, and attend an urgent family matter. Otherwise, you just have a job.
