Personal Foundation
The Family is the Gold Standard From Which Civilisation Extends
Everything of lasting value in civilisation has its roots in the family.
A world without family can never progress beyond tribalism.

Freedom
Remember always:
Every man and woman is born free and deserves to live and die free.
Everyone is responsible for him or herself, for what we think, and what we do.
With every right comes a responsibility.
Our individual rights end where another's rights begin.
Rights and freedoms that are not exercised are moot.
When we enslave another, we enslave ourselves.
We are responsible for directing those we employ.
If we don't like something, it's up to us to change it.
If we see an injustice, it's up to us to correct it.
If we want peace, it's our duty to keep it.
If we are bogged down, it's our job to climb over or dig under.
If we cherish our own rights, we must cherish the rights of others.
If we cherish our own freedom, we must cherish the freedom of others.

THE 4 LEVELS OF PERSONAL VALUES
Growing inward Reaching outward
Personal growth is the essence of Light & Life
Free Will Defined
Free will is moral in nature, granted only to living men and women, to allow them to explore and grow in Truth Beauty and Goodness, within reasonable limits.
Free will has nothing to do with with the physical demands of mortal life.
Free will can never be used as justification to commit violence against an innocent person.
The Kingdom Defined
The Kingdom is not an institution, not a nation, not a movement.
The Kingdom is the Father’s will lived from within. It measures the quality of your intent, the purity of your motives, the harmony between your inner truth and the Father’s living presence within you. It appears wherever: fear loosens its grip, love governs choice, truth is lived without force.
The Kingdom advances when divine trust is placed into human hands. This trust is not control. It is responsibility.
In the Kingdom: greatness serves, strength carries, authority heals.
Leadership bends downward. No one leads from above.
All Kingdom leadership flows from love. Love is the strongest force that can pass through a broken world without becoming broken itself.
The good NEWS of the Kingdom is the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
The Good NEWS of the Kingdom = 4 Directions of Covenant
Network — Education — Worship — Service 
Discerning The Kingdom
Where Institutions Fail
The Father raises children — Institutional systems manufacture dependents.
Healthy teaching strengthens discernment — Institutional dogma fears discernment.
Healthy teaching develops people who can hear, choose, serve, forgive, and grow.
Institutional teaching maintains spiritual infancy beneath human gatekeepers.
Institutional doctrine turns living communion into payment.
- It turns forgiveness into settlement.
- It turns prayer into negotiation.
- It turns salvation into a contract.
- It turns worship into appeasement.
The Kingdom restores living relationship between the Father and His children.
Institutions ask: How do I survive, become superior? How do I secure my reward?
The Kingdom asks: How may I serve? How may I heal? How may I forgive? How may I reveal the Father? How may I help restore the Family?
Institutional doctrine creates insiders and outsiders, superior and inferior, worthy and worthless, chosen and disposable.
Kingdom faith recognizes differing stages of growth without denying shared origin, dignity, or destiny.
Teach that the Father loves, forgives, restores, and patiently raises His children, and those who truly receive that revelation will begin doing the same.
The Keys of the Kingdom
The keys of the kingdom are sincerity — and more sincerity.
The two essentials for entering the kingdom are: sincere faith and truth hunger.
There are 5 cardinal features of the good NEWS of the Kingdom.
- Pre-eminence of the individual.
- Will as determining factor.
- Sonship with God the Father.
- The loving service of men.
- Transcendency of the spiritual over the material.
