What is Penology- The Oxford dictionary defines penology as the study of the punishment of crime and of prison management. The word itself comes from the Latin word poena which means punishment and the Greek logia which means study of - so penology is simply the study of punishment. Punishment for crimes. God does speak to ALL matters of life in His Word - and this subject is no different. This sermon addresses the matter of penology from God-s perspective. A striking observation is - God does not cage men. Rather, His system is based upon restitution and retribution. 39 min. MercySeat.net

This sermon continues through Joshua verse by verse. The main thrust for the title of this sermon begins at about the 23-00 minute mark. God-s law is foundational - not only for our individual lives - but also for nations. History has proven that man is always turned back to the law of God. When man rebels - things reach the point where man destroys himself and his culture - and he turns back to the law of God.--Here in America in our day, the law of God is spurned both by men and the governments of men. Intolerance is seen as a great evil - and tolerance a great virtue. The truth is toleration is a device employed by wicked men to introduce a new law-system as a prelude to a new intolerance. 65 min.

MercySeat.net---Once accusations, taken at face value, are pronounced sufficient to warrant peremptory judgment, the stream of false accusations becomes a whirlpool of lies, sufficient to drown the character targeted for assassination. Absent the careful precautions for fairness due process demands, innocence or guilt become irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the power of the disseminating media, and the resources to bring any number of false witnesses to bear. By these means, any electorate can be turned into a mob of thousands, fomented by media ring leaders effectively entrenched beyond the reach of law.- -Alan Keyes
