If an artist has special talents to sing but can't write, why would he/she demand income from the talents of a writer that supplies him/her with a product he/she needs to display his/her talents. We are all given different gifts and talents and are expected to use those gifts to help mankind, not steal another's gift just because they are in a position to do so.


You and I know that we are in this world but not of it my friend. Man was given complete dominion over the earth and command over everything upon it; to the animals we are as gods. However, for those of us who actually seek God's will and answer to His higher authority, we understand that, while still mortal, we are bound by the law of the land and God does not interfere with man's free will. Therefore the world is governed by evil in high places and tolerated by the ignorance of the ungodly.

We know that there is a better way, and Christ is who we wait upon. Until then, by the power of the Spirit, we simply try to make proper examples of ourselves smile
