The Agenda for Social Justice: Solutions for 2020 provides
accessible insights into some of the most pressing social problems
in the United States and proposes public policy responses to those
problems. Written by a highly respected team of authors brought
together by the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP), it
offers recommendations for action by elected officials, policy
makers, and the public around key issues for social justice,
including a discussion of the role of key issues of sustainability
and technology in the development and timbre of future social
problems. It will be of interest to scholars, practitioners,
advocates, and students interested in public sociology and the
study of social problems.
The idea of planning economy and engineering social life has often
been linked with Communist regimes' will of control. However, the
persuasion that social and economic processes could and should be
regulated was by no means limited to them. Intense debates on these
issues developed already during the First World War in Europe and
became globalized during the World Economic crisis. During the Cold
War, such discussions fuelled competition between two models of
economic and social organisation but they also revealed the
convergences and complementarities between them. This ambiguity, so
often overlooked in histories of the Cold War, represents the
central issue of the book organized around three axes. First, it
highlights how know-how on planning circulated globally and were
exchanged by looking at international platforms and organizations.
The volume then closely examines specificities of planning ideas
and projects in the Communist and Capitalist World. Finally, it
explores East-West channels generated by exchanges around issues of
planning which functioned irrespective of the Iron Curtain and were
exported in developing countries. The volume thus contributes to
two fields undergoing a process of profound reassessment: the
history of modernisation and of the Cold War.

When Noah began constructing the Ark nobody knows what people
thought or said to him. It must have seemed strange because it
never rained in Noah's world; that means no floods. Noah advertised
that God was going to destroy the world with a catastrophic flood.
It took him and his three sons one hundred and twenty years to
complete the ship; fortunately people lived longer in those times
because of the pristine and healthy environment. The problem was
humanity; the people were wicked, violent and corrupt. Even though
a major flood warning alarm rang loud and long the people were
unbelieving and indifferent to God; only eight persons survived the
Great Flood. "Look life carries on as normal and that guy Noah has
worked on that Ark for... well, I can't remember when he started,
but it seems like a hundred years already. Gosh how does he afford
it? Anyway, I am getting married next year and then we plan to move
to the opposite side of the continent so I probably won't get to
see him finish the boat; but it's impressive; no doubt about that.
Oh look, I can't believe God will send a flood; besides God hasn't
communicated with humans since Adam's time."
Jacob had the misfortune of being born the second twin which
excluded him from the family Inheritance or Birthright. In those
times it passed down to the firstborn male heir. The Birthright
included astounding promises that could hardly be fathomed by human
reasoning. Jacob grieved that he had missed out. If only he could
change his destiny. But what role do women play in men's destinies?
Rebekah, Jacob's mother, knew the secret to obtain the desired
Birthright. Inspirational - Instructional - Profound
It is true God could stop temptations that attack us, and it's also
true God could halt suffering inflicted upon people. However, it
would probably mean the end of the world because with sin loose on
the earth there will always be suffering and misery. I suspect God
has predestined people not yet born: if the world ends before they
arrive, there will be many vacant spots in Heaven. Because God has
chosen faith in Jesus as the vehicle for activating the salvation
of men, it stands to reason faith needs testing otherwise it is
hardly faith at all. Satan tempted Jesus to commit suicide by some
delusional notion he had divine powers. Jesus knows how it feels
when tempted with suicidal thoughts. In his weakened condition he
remained focused. "Don't put God to a foolish test " he replied.
Satan then took Jesus to the summit of a high mountain and showed
him the nations of the world and all their glory. Jesus probably
saw great cities light up before him: Paris, New York, Las Vegas
and Rome. Satan literally said: "Come on, you don't have to put
yourself through the ordeal awaiting you. If you want all this I'll
give it to you; you only need to kneel and worship me." Even at the
point of passing out due to lack of food Jesus did not flinch.
"Save yourself the trouble." Satan said inviting Jesus to take the
easy way to gain back his creation - Matthew 4:10. "Get out of here
Satan," Jesus commanded him. "The Scriptures say, 'Worship and obey
the Lord God alone.'" Satan had to go... he had his chance... he
failed. Jesus eclipsed the First-Adam and restored man's
relationship to God. Adam broke the relationship by being
unfaithful to God's word. Jesus proved utterly faithful to God's
word. Devotional - Inspirational - Instructional
When David triumphantly entered Jerusalem carrying the head of
Goliath in his hand the inhabitants rejoiced in his victory and
felt relief for Israel. A great victory on this scale over the
Philistines in the Valley of Elah had not been witnessed since
Samuel's time. The people clamoured to know more about David and to
catch a glimpse of the young hero who had captured the imagination
of the nation. David rose from obscurity into the thoughts and
hearts of the nation. His battle with Goliath ascended beyond what
anyone dreamed likely. To add to that, he possessed handsome
features, refined qualities, and musical skills. What more could
any society desire than such a one as this; and they gushed over
David with genuine admiration.
The Bible encourages us to study and rightly divide the word of
truth. If we follow this principle and make an effort to lay down a
solid foundation our Christian experience will be strong and when
storms and trials shake our lives our faith will never stagger
because it is built on a rock of truth that endures. The Scripture
tells us to move on from the elementary principles of Christ toward
perfection - Hebrews 6.1-3. Before one can move on successfully the
elementary or foundational principles must be laid down before the
building of faith can be completed. This study will cover some
elementary principles Paul mentions in the above verse. This
foundational course will benefit mature Christians and help set in
order their personal knowledge of the Word of God. These subjects
help cement Christian learning and will be of valuable assistance
for future Bible studies.
There is something unique and special about Isaac the man of peace,
prayer, and meditation. Rebekah first saw him in a field
meditating. She could see a special quality in him; but he was also
a romantic and fell in love with Rebekah. She filled the gap left
in his life when his mother died. Isaac loved family, his mother
and father, and his sons. In contrast to others in the Bible, he
only had one wife.
