The Spiritual Secret of Economic Flourishing Read More »
When the US president calls the media “Fake News,” he implies that the Post-Truth world’s best-educated and best-paid journalists are manipulators. When he says that America’s Deep State is a “Swamp,” he suggests that Ivy League universities are breeding corruption. Charlie Kirk confronted universities because he knew that although K-12 education is essential, it is insufficient to reform the USA. Charlie’s assassin seems to have grown up in a good home. It was the university that turned him into a murderer. Prof. Scott Masson of Tyndale University in Toronto summarizes the problem: “The problem that Charlie Kirk was confronting was the institutionalized wickedness of a demonically false view of language and human nature that has embedded itself in the university for at least a generation. According to the Left, words they dislike are violence (they don’t incite violence, they ARE violence), which is precisely what permits them (in their minds) to commit actual violence against their opponents. I saw Charlie Kirk as an ambassador to the radicalized university campuses. And the ambassador has been assassinated. But the enemy is not flesh and blood (though the shooter needs to be caught and brought to justice), it’s the literary theories that preclude the possibility of the sort of dialogue Charlie Kirk was trying to foster, to no small degree of success. Charlie was a martyr to the truth, and he pointed directly to Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. I’m thankful for Charlie’s courageous life and witness. May his death be the ‘turning point’ for many to follow in his Master’s footsteps.” Prof. Masson is right. In order to understand his analysis, you may need to read Gene Edward Veith’s study “Modern Fascism” (Concordia Press). . . Adolf Hitler did not build the Gas Chambers that burnt millions of innocent people. They were built and managed by university graduates—scientists, engineers, architects, chemists, doctors, administrators, police officers, military and judges! Decades before coming to power, Hitler was confident of Fascism’s victory because (he said) of the success of their theories in the universities. Veith provides ample evidence that American universities have been teaching Fascism, defined as “Active resistance to transcendence.” There is no fear of God in post-truth universities because no God has commanded, “You shall not kill.” That means, there is no inalienable “Right to life” for a preborn child or a champion of civility. Charlie Kirk was right: America needs a reformation that will replace the university’s fascist worldview with God’s truth. This morning, a pastor sent me the following text: “Vishal, My name is K. G. I pastor C. C. in B. M. (East Coast), I speak all over the country as well as pastoring the Flock at C. I have promoted your book, “The Book That Made Your World” more than any book other than SCRIPTURE over the last few years. There’s something I think you should know, that is, if you’re not already aware of it. A few years ago I became friends with young Charlie Kirk. Aware of his perspective and his sharp intellect I gave him my first copy of your book. My copy of your book was all marked up by my pen. I had underlined so many things and wrote comments. I was SO excited by your work I had written much in the columns, but that was the only one I had when Charlie and I were together. Charlie CONSUMED your book and assimilated immediately. I would continually hear it coming out of him once it entered his mind. For months after his first read he would say “The BIBLE created the soul of America!” The LORD used you to effect so many through that young man.” Watch Charlie Kirk recommend The Book That Made Your World: https://youtube.com/shorts/0h2Fci-3thM Since writing The Book That Made Your World, the Lord has raised up a team to build a global educational movement, which is developing TRUTHPEDIA. It is an online High school, university and Encyclopedia which will empower the global Church to create educational communities that provide an alternative to “demonically false views.” Truthpedia will ground wisdom, knowledge, understanding, information, and skills in the Spirit of Love, reintegrating Veritas (Truth) and Virtue (Character) in education. Please visit www.ThirdEducationRevolution.com and explore the TRUTHPEDIA proposal. Please pray and enable us to launch it in 2026. Yours for a re-formation of education Vishal & Ruth Mangalwadi
Reform the University to Honor Charlie Kirk Read More »
For thirty years, from 1618 to 1648, much of Europe had gone insane. Those terrible “wars and rumors of wars” made it impossible for people to think of Europe as “civilized.” The horrors made many Christians pessimistic and escapists. There was one man, however, who believed that Europe’s soul could be renewed. He was Bishop John Amos Comenius (1592-1670). How to Save Europe? About forty of Comenius’ ninety books were about education. He believed that the church can renew Europe’s soul by educating the next generation. His optimism came from the Scriptures that promised: “In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains;it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say,“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob.He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.”The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples.They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:2-4) This morning (Tuesday, March 4, 2025), five of us zoomed together and resolved to establish a Foundation to equip the global body of Christ to disciple nations by educating them. We will need your help and God’s grace to create an online Truthpedia & University. This will give away the world’s best school curriculum online for free. It will also train homeschooling parents and Academic Pastors to educate the next generation in partnership with local churches and schools. On March 5, we will pray for this vision. Then I will circulate the draft proposal, which we will discuss on Wednesday, March 12. The paper will outline the areas in which you can help. Many Christians think that in order to do God’s will, President Trump, or at least European leaders, must do what President Biden did not do—launch an all-out war against Russia, even if it means WWIII. Could God be using Putin and Trump to shake up the world, especially apostate Europe? Russia-Ukraine War is likely to force Europe to divert budget from education to nuclear energy and defense. State-controlled Postmodern education is Europe’s source of darkness. Once it becomes expensive, a revived and reformed Church, harnessing available technology, could offer a better and cheaper education to shape the future. The Biden administration offered arms deals to Ukraine. President Trump is offering trade deals. Could the Church offer a Truth-deal to Ukraine and Russia? Nations will beat their swords into plowshares if they become disciples of the Prince of Peace. Please join us in God’s mission. Vishal Mangalwadi
RUSSIA: Bomb it or Educate It? Read More »
The Russia-Ukraine war, it is estimated, has cost a million lives and displaced as many as ten million. It will take a while to calculate the direct and indirect economic cost. Arms industries, their investors, and political patrons are the main beneficiaries. The Liberals are justifying the war by arguing that Ukraine’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity must be protected. WHY? Do the Liberals believe in “Nation”? Do they think that national borders are sacred and must be defended? If so, why don’t they protect their national borders? Ever since World War II, Western Liberals in Europe and America have condemned the biblical (Jewish-Protestant) idea that Nations are sacred because God created them. The apostle Paul presented that Old Testament truth in Acts 17:26–27: “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.” Following Alexander the Great (356–323 BC), Europe was wedded to Empires. Imperialism is a Luciferian (diabolical) idea because it implies war—i.e., taking over your neighbors’ land by force. Roman Catholic and Orthodox theologies believed in Christendom—not in nation-states. Nor did Communist education teach the sacredness of national borders to Russia and Ukraine. Europe received the Bible’s (Jewish) idea of ‘Nation’ through the Protestant Reformation. It was through the Peace of Westphalia (1648) that the Netherlands and Switzerland became Europe’s first sovereign nation-states. North America’s 13 colonies followed their example by becoming the USA—a Nation, not 13 kingdoms, not an empire. American President Franklin Roosevelt imposed the Bible’s idea of “Nation” upon the British and French empires through the Atlantic Charter (1941). As a precondition of the USA’s participation in WWII, he demanded that Winston Churchill must agree to dismantle the British Empire. That is why the colonies were set free after WWII, and the victors created the United Nations (UN)—not United Empires. While the Bible’s idea of “Nations” was birthing the UN, the Liberals began an intellectual onslaught on the Bible’s idea of “Nation.” Fascist “German Nationalism” was their primary reason for attacking the idea of “Nation.” Fascist Nationalism did cause two World Wars. However, the real reason for the attack on “Nation” was that the biblical illiteracy of the Liberals had blinded them to the fact that Hitler’s “German Nationalism” was Imperialism, NOT Nationalism. The fascists were misusing Protestant-sounding language to deceive Post-biblical German Christians. The Liberals kept undermining the sacredness of “Nations” in Academia, media and through forums such as the EU. That undermining of the Nation led to Brexit—Britain’s exit from the EU. Now, suddenly, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Liberals are talking as though they really believe that National Borders are sacred and ought to be defended. The question President Trump is raising is: Why should US citizens pay to defend Ukraine’s border? If the Europeans have changed their minds and believe that borders are sacred and should be defended… then shouldn’t they pay for the war and shed their blood? You may ask, “Why did the Biden Administration pay Ukraine for the war?” Well, the real question is: if President Biden really wanted to defeat Putin, why didn’t he get a resolution passed in the UN and launch an all-out attack on Russia? Was President Biden financing the war because the Arms Industry and its political supporters wanted to keep a modest war going so that they may dispose off their inventory? Some may raise a legitimate question: Does President Trump believe in the sacredness of national borders? No one can doubt that he believes in the sacredness of the USA’s borders. His loose talk about Canada, Gaza, Panama and Greenland raises questions about the depth of his understanding and commitment to the Bible’s idea of Nation as a sovereign geo-political entity. If President Trump is confused, then it will be because most American seminaries, theologians, missiologists, and pastors have made themselves incapable of defining “Nation.” The Evangelical confusion began in the Mission’s Department of Fuller Seminary. It spread through what used to be the US Center for World Missions. Evangelical leaders should have responded to the Liberal attack on German Nationalism by pointing out that it was German imperialism, not nationalism. Instead, they attempted to save the Great Commission to disciple “all nations” by arguing that the Greek words for nations, “ethne” (plural of ethnos – nation) mean “people groups.” Etymologically, they were correct. But etymology is not theology. Someone translating the Bible in Arabic may use the word “Allah” for God. Does he mean by Allah what an average Arabic-speaking Muslim understands—the Supreme Being who has no son but has a Prophet, Mohammad? Not at all. Every translator uses a word closest to his intended meaning and then puts into that word his theological connotations. Likewise, Matthew used the Greek word “ethne” in the Great Commission because Greece did not have the Jewish idea of Nation. Greece was a collection of warring tribes, cities and kingdoms. Alexander united them into an Empire. Matthew used a word that does mean people groups in order to introduce to Europe, the Jewish idea of Nation. God did not promise a “people group” to Abraham. He promised to make Abraham a great nation in a specific territory that the Hebrews were to love and turn into a great nation. Ever since Moses and Joshua, Israel was never one people-group. It was thirteen people groups (tribes) that had become a great nation. (13 because Joseph had become two tribes.) Israel was a model for many people groups living together in one territory, governing themselves under one law. When it split into two kingdoms — Israel and Judah — the 13 tribes became two nations because they had two territories and governing structures. In case President Trump does not understand the sacredness of national borders, the
UKRAINE WAR… Liberal Hypocrisy and Evangelical Irrelevance Read More »
“Attempt Great Things For God; Expect Great Things from God” was William Carey’s optimistic motto. It inspired the mission that made Carey the Father of Modern India. Today (August 17), in Ithaca, NY, we are celebrating Carey’s birthday, along with our grandnephew Anmay’s wedding to Olivia. Carey’s mission was an “aftershock” of the great social quake called the Protestant Reformation. Macro historians such as Eugen Rosenstock-Hussey (“Out of Revolution”) and Jacques Barzun (“From Dawn to Decadence”) point out that the Protestant Reformation was Europe’s greatest reform movement. Through it, the Bible created the modern world. During the last hundred years or so, Evangelicalism has turned Christianity into the West most pessimistic worldview. Instead of changing the world, most evangelicals are waiting for the Antichrist, Tribulation and their “Escape” from the battlefield through Rapture. Will Jesus return to crush Satan or will His triumph on the Cross, His Spirit and His Word empower His body to crush the Serpent under our feet (Romans 16:20; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 2: 13-14)? Iain Murray discusses biblical optimism that energized William Carey in his book, “The Puritan Hope.” God’s children ought to be Peace-Makers, but evangelical pessimism has turned them into a voting bank, anxiously waiting for “wars and rumors of wars.” That has made it possible for the vested interests of Wall Street, Oil, Arms and Tech Industries to drive the US into terrible but avoidable unjust wars. The following lecture, delivered in Christ Community Church, Belchertown, MA, on Sunday Aug 11, challenges God’s children to recover biblical optimism for the healing of the nations. The church is pastored by Physicist Dr. Emmanuel Haqq, son of Dr. Akbar Haqq and the grandson of legendary Indian apologist Abdul Haqq.

Before Ruth and I embarked on the Nordic Tour (Norway, Sweden, Denmark & Finland: April 18-May 16, 2024), my perspective was colored by the pro-English Netflix series, “The Last Kingdom.” It portrays the bloody conflicts between barbaric Vikings and semi-Christian kingdoms of England. For that reason, many of my lectures and debates raised the question: How did the Nordic nations become so peaceful, just, free, productive, progressive and least corrupt nations? My answer is that the Bible is the force that civilized pagan Europe. You can watch some of this discussion in the following four videos already posted here: Click here to watch (Other lectures will also be posted as local organizers make them available) The following factors made it much more than a lecture-debate tour: Thank you for your prayers and praise God for the fruit already visible.

Can One Man Trigger a Chain-reaction That Destroys (or Builds) a Civilization? “Now I have become death, the destroyer of the worlds.” -Sri Krishna in the Bhagwat Gita A Review of Blockbuster Movie “Oppenheimer” Director: Christopher Nolan Oppenheimer: Played by Cillian Murphy Film script based on the 2005 biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird Can one man, say, India’s Prime Minister Narender Modi, trigger a chain reaction that destroys “modern India” — a civilization still being built by William Carey’s successors? The question that haunted “the father of atom bomb,” theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, was: Will his atom bomb start a chain reaction that destroys the world? Nuclear enemies, Pakistan and India, could turn Oppenheimer’s nightmare into reality. This month two Hollywood Blockbusters were released in India on the same weekend — Barbie and Oppenheimer. Barbie made ₹27.5 crore during the opening week, while Oppenheimer earned more than twice that amount, ₹73.15 crore! Oppenheimer beat Barbie because it made many Hindus proud that their Scriptures had a huge impact on a scientist of his stature. Robert Oppenheimer, the Director of the Manhattan Project, was reasonably certain that Adolf Hitler’s antisemitism will make it difficult for Nazi Germany to build the bomb. Back then, the Fascists saw Quantum Mechanics as “Jewish science.” As a communist leaning intellectual, Oppenheimer and his critics agreed that the American bomb will provoke Communist Soviet Union to make its own bomb. Oppenheimer dreaded that hatred between America and Soviet Union will turn the Cold War into Hot. Atom Bomb could become the power that destroys the world. The Bhagwat Gita helped Oppenheimer resolve his inner conflict. In a sex scene with his lover Jean Tatlock, played by Florence Pugh, Oppenheimer reads aloud one of the Gita’s shlokas. Vishnu’s incarnation Sri Krishna encourages reluctant champion-warrior, Arjuna, to forget ethical questions and do his caste’s duty to fight and kill. Why? Because God himself is Death and Destruction. After Nagasaki and Hiroshima were bombed, Oppenheimer told the media that the Bhagwat Gita was influence #2. The first influence that soothed his conscience was the collection of Baudelaire’s poems, “The Flowers of Evil” (Les Fleurs du Mal). In Baudelaire’s Foreword, Satan, identified as an Alchemist, says, “If rape, poison, dagger and fire, have still not embroidered their pleasant designs on the banal canvas of our pitiable destinies, it’s because our soul, alas, is not bold enough!” To build his diabolical weapon of mass destruction, Oppenheimer indeed needed great boldness, just as Arjuna needed a bold philosophy to direct his morally reluctant, oscillating soul. Oppenheimer’s Bomb did trigger a chain reaction. Not just Russia but many other nations have developed nuclear weapons and mind-boggling delivery systems. Some of the nuclear powers are led by souls without inner moral struggles. They are bolder than Oppenheimer. One example is Sri Narendra Modi, India’s militant Prime Minister who has cultivated an adversary – Islam – which is second to none in a capacity to hate and destroy. World War 2 started because militarily, Fascist Germany was stronger than its rivals. Yet, Germany paid a heavy price to learn that arrogance is neither virtue, nor safe. Modi’s Hindutva Brigade believes that it is powerful enough to crush Islam. Hindu-Muslim conflict appears to be a battle between an arrogant Goliath and a shepherd-boy, David. In such unequal conflicts, “Who is better-armed” is irrelevant. The relevant question is: who has the heart to strike first. Can a man trigger a chain-reaction that destroys a civilization? Sri Krishna says, YES … and Modiji is out to prove that he has the inner resolve to destroy modern pluralistic, tolerant India in order to build a Hindu Rashtra. The good news is that an individual can also trigger a movement that BUILDS a civilization. That is the history, Ruth and I have told in our book The Father of Modern India: William Carey. Carey began the movement that built modern South Asia. Now a diabolic spirit of hate is seeking to destroy it. (August 14 is Pakistan’s Independence Day; Aug 15 is India’s Independence Day; Aug 17 is William Carey’s birthdate) Please get your copy of “The Father of Modern India: William Carey” in the USA from manager@SoughtAfterMedia.com and in India from www.Triaze.com -Vishal & Ruth Mangalwadi

The American eagle flew higher and faster than all other civilizations because it flew on two wings: “Humble Faith” in the Bible and the Enlightenment’s “Commonsense.” (Michael Novak, On Two Wings: Humble Faith and Commonsense at America’s Founding.) Both these wings have now been clipped. Consequently, the “Eagle” is in a free fall. America’s crash will have terrible consequences for the whole world. Can America be reformed? Yes. The following lecture explains how: Praise God for a very busy volunteer who is sacrificing his time to upload at least one video per week on our YouTube channel – Vishal Mangalwadi. Others are helping to collect and edit hundreds of my lectures, scattered around the world. By watching and promoting the channel, you can help turn it into a course on a new reformation. Currently, I am on a 100-day tour: 7 Continents, 10-12 nations, and 40+ cities. (The “seven” includes two trips each to Europe and North America.) I plan to send reports from Switzerland, India, Uganda, and Germany, especially on several consultations we’ve had following the Phoenix Consultation in June. Ruth, who traveled to Australia in October, plans to join me in Germany on Sunday, Nov 10. From Nov. 11-15, we will be studying the book of Revelation with German theologians, pastors and Christian leaders. Please pray that Europe’s Evangelical Christianity may find healing for its Eschatological Paralysis. On November 16-17 we hope to launch European Revelation Movement in Kontal, near Stuttgart. It will be led by Andreas Wieland. Besides supporting my writings, European researchers will start working on two projects: The Spiritual History of Switzerland and The Spiritual History of Germany. The Germans are already using Facebook and Websites effectively. A separate YouTube channel will also be launched as I have over 100 lectures in English-German. Since Universities are destroying nations, from Feb 18-22 about 40 of us will meet in South Korea to launch a Cyber University. Initially it will offer Bachelor and Masters degrees in Applied Theology and Leadership. The long term goal is to return non-sacred (secular) education to local Church-based system of discipling nations through education. Thank you for your prayers and financial support. Your donations are needed to support our growing creative, editorial, promotional and administrative teams.

America is facing a little problem: The President says that the world’s freest, most educated, powerful, and resourceful media is “Fakenews.” That is, news reporters no longer bear witness to the truth. They spin stories to serve the interests of their paymasters. The Press returns the compliment: the President is Post-truth. Meaning: don’t trust the President you elected. He is the figurehead of a culture that believes in manipulation, not Truth. Enemies fighting culture-wars agree simultaneously with the President and the Press: “American leaders, press, and media moguls should not be trusted. They are products of an education that does not believe in Truth.” Americans disagree on WHO is the bigger problem: Politicians or the Illegal Immigrants. They debate WHAT is a greater problem: Immigration or ever-increasing Debt, Economy or secular Education, Terrorism or Guns, China or North Korea, collapsing Family or increasing Immorality . . . but they agree that The American eagle is in a free fall Federal Debt is over 22 trillion dollars. It is increasing every second. Leaders no longer know how to manage the nation’s revenue. Federal Government has over-promised $122 trillions for Social Security, Medicare etc. No one has any clue as to where this amount will come from. President George W Bush called Social Security a gigantic Ponzi scheme. He warned that it will sink the world’s largest economy. The problem was acknowledged forcefully, even though President Bush was powerless to do anything about it. His successors, Obama and Trump, have been wiser. They have closed their eyes to the Time Bomb ticking away at the heart of the nation. President Obama knew and Trump knows that they cannot defuse the bomb. There are politicians with so much passion for the poor that they are willing to sink the nation. They want the world to lend $1 trillion more to teach American students NOT to keep their word and NOT to pay their debts. Some Wannabe Presidents want the nation to borrow more or tax more to offer free healthcare and education to every citizen and immigrant — legal or illegal. Many voters applaud these proposals to drown the nation in debt and tax. Why? They think that America’s untrustworthy professors and politicians may be smarter than their forefathers who actually built the world’s greatest economy. American eagle is falling: where will it crash? Possibilities are plenty: — Uncle SAM has given to itself the power to print unlimited numbers of dollars. Printing can pay back every penny. After all, a dollar is just a piece of paper with a promise from a government that Americans elect but don’t trust! — A future President can choose to default. He can blame the creditors for lending to his predecessors who were compulsive gamblers. Would the world then stop lending? Of course, it will! Would that create some difficulties? Well, strong leaders know how to deal with difficult people. Between 1976-83, not even a generation ago, Argentine defaulted. Money stopped flowing in. Massive unemployment and protests followed. None of that bothered the government. It just arrested the protestors. A few days later the prisoners were told to dance to loud music for they were being sent south to freedom. Exhausted prisoners were “vaccinated” for their journey into liberty. As soon as they became too drowsy to resist, they were stripped naked, dumped into trucks, loaded onto aircrafts, and thrown into the Atlantic ocean. “May be! But American is different. It was built on ‘self-evident truths’ that all men are ‘endowed by their Creator with an inalienable right to life’ That is true. North and south Americas were built on different worldview foundations. Northern revolution was inspired by the Bible. The Southern revolutionaries such as Simon Bolivar were informed by the Enlightenment. Boliver carried three books on his military campaigns: Montesquie’s Spirit of the Laws, Adam Smith’s Wealth of the Nations, and Voltaire’s Essays on why England was doing better than France. The Bible was the International Border between North and South America. But does that matter now? The “truths” on which the USA was built have become toothless. They are assumed to be outdated “Bible stories.” Did God create Adam and Eve? Did Evolution command mosquitos to NOT kill human babies? — A likely place for the Eagle’s crash is WW3. God’s children are Peacemakers. But the Devil also has his children in strategic places. Not too long ago they incited Uncle SAM to start unjust wars in the Middle East. Those powerful lobbies are eager to do it again: ‘Use your awesome military might to ignite a global war: Arms-industry needs to dump aging inventory; industrial sector needs a boost; Wall-Street needs new investors. A victorious war will allow you to restructure global economy. Didn’t WW2 bring America out of its greatest ever recession?’ — Yes, the American eagle is in a free-fall . . . but does it have to crash-land into the Devil’s snare? Isn’t there an option to cry out to the Loving Father? Can’t He bring the Eagle back into its nest? America can return to its earlier ‘sanity’ and ‘morality.’ Its ‘inventiveness’ and ‘work-ethic’ have the ability to create enough wealth to repay debts and bless the world. Such a turn-around needs a spiritual Revival. It will be a new Great Awakening. It will reform America and heal our world. Economists are forced to confront hard data sooner or later. Psychologists and Sociologists on the other hand have greater flexibility to ignore truth. PostTruth era requires them to be true only to their own theories (however false). Their current (relative) truth that they are nothing but animals, legitimizes sexual indiscipline. Suppression of true Truth has so darkened minds that America has turned its temples of learning into Red Light Districts. Even Date-rapist is acquitted if he was drunk. Where is America headed? It is going the way of Jeffery Epstein. He was a teacher who became multi-millionaire financier and sex-trafficker. A friend of Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump he had interests in high profile

Photos refer to: (1)AlJazeera’s report “Babies for sale” in Malaysia. (2) Medical students in Indiana University buy body parts of aborted babies. An American activist protests against Asian couples selling their daughters. Next day she marches for her right to abort her own baby, even if her baby’s cut-up body-parts are sold to the highest bidder. Vermont’s ‘Republican’ Governor, Phil Scott, signs a bill that his state gives a mother the right to murder the 9-month old baby in her womb. Louisiana’s ‘Democratic’ Governor, John Bel Edwards, signs an opposite bill: his state bans abortions once a baby’s heartbeat is detectable. Well, the confused American activist judges Asian culture to be immoral because her parents’ taught her that a ‘person’ must not be bought, caged and auctioned like an ‘animal.’ She fights for her right to sell her baby’s body-parts because her university teaches that a ‘person’ is just a blob of meat. “Personhood” is an artificial construct of a language shaped by the Bible, this outdated idea implies human dignity, inalienable rights to life and liberty, conscience, male and female. The Bible “misled” the West into believing that human beings were different than animals and robots because they were persons, made in God’s image. Animals killed can be eaten; robots don’t require funerals … but a human’s dignity has to be affirmed even after his death. God’s command, “Thou shall not commit murder” gave to every human being a right to life. The state can take that right away because, as Nietzche lamented, the Enlightenment murdered God. The postmodern university teaches that even though every cell and every atom is “information”, our Creator cannot possibly communicate His commands. Take another insanity: a democratic Britain votes to be a sovereign nation independent of EU’s control. Some Members of her Parliament elected by the same voters, treat the voice of sovereign citizens as the voice of the Devil. How can that be? Well, . . . the ideas of sovereignty of nations and citizens came from the Bible. Without the Bible the west has no choice but to revert back to the pagan idea of empire. It was the Bible that taught that God demolished the imperial city of Babel to create sovereign nations. God’s kingdom undermines empires. His light shows nations the path to become great nations. . . when sinful citizens are given the authority to become God’s children, they sit on their Father’s throne (Revelation 3:21) as “kings”.

Key people from 10 or so nations will meet to plan an education revolution (June 25-27) that will equip local churches to offer high quality, accredited, affordable online education. In partnership with universities, local churches will disciple nations by taking education back from the Devil. On June 29, the participants will guide our desire to make a Docuseries, “A Bus Journey to Find the Lost Soul of the West.” In this Reality TV type series, six or so international scholars will take a bus journey with a film crew to visit locations where the modern world was made. They will meet with experts and ask: what role did Greece and Rome; Paganism, Christianity, and atheism; Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment play in creating the modern world. The investigators will test the thesis that the Bible created the modern world; without its light the West is lost in the darkness of its own making. Education is a process of civilising individuals. Therefore, Phoenix Consultation is about reviving civilization’s soul. It will enable churches in Africa, Asia, South and North America to fulfill the Great Commission to disciple nations. They will marinate the next generations in Truth and Virtue. Thank you for your prayers and financial support Vishal Mangalwadi
