Mayhew distinguishes between the moral duty of the Christian to submit to lawful authority and the citizen’s duty toward “lawless, unreasonable” tyranny:

Those who resist a reasonable and just authority, which is agreeable to the will of God, do really resist the will of God himself; and will, therefore, be punished by him. But how does this prove, that those who resist a lawless, unreasonable power, which is contrary to the will of God, do therein resist the will and ordinance of God? - Eric Patterson, Jonathan Mayhew: Colonial Pastor against Tyranny

The days are very dim and very dark. Satan is attempting to build hell on earth. His servants significantly outnumber God's children. They have all the world's money, power, and influence at their command. But, you have Christ, the one who has defeated sin, death, and hell. He has overcome the world.

What does training “hard but smart” mean? What can individuals, groups, and teams do to promote effective, productive training? How does personal improvement fit in to training, and how can it produce good leaders? Can an individual or team be “too busy” to train? How can you train yourself and others when time and opportunities are limited? How can you ensure training is educational and not just a “test” of capabilities?

“All-too-many are born: for the superfluous the state was invented.” Everything about the modern state was corrupt: education (“they steal the works of the inventors and the treasures of the sages for themselves”), the media (“they vomit their gall and call it a newspaper”), and most of all, politics. Nietzsche characterized politics as a mad rush for power, which squandered the talents of great men, who were forced to pander to the lowest common denominator.

So then, how can Jesus' cross be the one thing you've waited for all your life? Can it be that in the cross God has found a way to stop you from chasing other hopes and dreams, bad lovers, little gods, and all? Has God found a way to plant you where you belong in this old, dying world? Is Christ's ugly cross the very thing that will finally get you to belt out the old blues song with Etta James: "At last, my love has come along"?

Hungry, violent, lonely, godless: thus the lion-will wants itself. Free from the happiness of slaves, redeemed from gods and adorations, fearless and fear-inspiring, great and lonely: such is the will of the truthful. - Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra: Second Part

God not only started and preserved the world's course by speaking, he also interrupted the world's course by speaking a new word. He does this without apology because he's angry and determined to change the course of what we've done to his creation. The interruption is decisive and final with the crucifixion of Jesus. 

The man of knowledge must not only love his enemies, he must also be able to hate his friends. One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil. And why do you not want to pluck at my wreath? You revere me; but what if your reverence tumbles one day? Beware lest a statue slay you. - Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra: First Part.

Jesus alone is Lord over fear. Fear knows him as its master. Fear gives way to him alone. So look to Christ when you're afraid. Think of Christ. Keep him before your eyes. Call upon Christ and pray to him. Believe that he is with you now, helping you. Then fear will grow pale and fade away, and you will be free. Through your faith in this strong and living Savior, Jesus Christ, you're free of fear.

If the Comanches were better known for cruelty and violence, that was because, as one of history's greatest warring peoples, they were in a position to inflict more pain than they received. - S.C. Gwynne, Empire of the Summer Moon
