  1. The Moral Big Bang https://seanriecke.com/2020/02/22/the-moral-big-bang/ February 22, 2020 / I’m always amused when I see those in the secular or academic world twist themselves into pretzels trying to avoid going to the source when attempting to solve the ethical and moral problems plaguing our society. This article, by Kinstler at Protocol, talks specifically about the struggles the tech industry is having with attracting and maintaining an ethical workforce but it also could apply to our society in general. One of the “ethicists” brought in to help solve this problem has coined the term “ethics owners” to describe the type of employee needed to help build an ethical workplace. Really? What an Orwellian term to describe something so basic as “honest person”. So what do the terms “ethical” and “morality” mean anyway? According to the dictionary ethics is defined as “moral principles that govern a person’s behavior or the conducting of an activity; the branch of knowledge that deals with moral principles”. The word morality is defined as “principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior”. Ethics depends on morality which is defined by what is right or wrong. Here we face the age old but always relevant question: who determines what is right or wrong? Liberal society will have us believe that right or wrong is whatever the individual and therefore the society determines. These beliefs are then codified at a societal level by the creation of laws along with a legal system to enforce those laws. This system however has been in a continual state of decline and has proven drastically inept at providing solutions because it completely ignores the very core of the problem. The real problem is that we are attempting to legislate morality through laws in a society that lacks a general respect for the moral certitudes as given to us by our Creator. This is like trying to steer a ship without a rudder. It will inevitably go in circles. In contrast to the worldly view, the Christian perspective defines “ethics owners” as those who have a deep moral conviction based on immutable laws given to them by God not by some philosophical theory of right or wrong thrust upon them by ethicists in a training class. Furthermore, these are not dynamic or fluid guidelines based on the morality of the day but are static and immovable guideposts set in place by the Creator just as valid as the other immutable laws of science which govern our God created universe such as gravity and the speed of light. They have found to be true what the scripture says in Psalms 19:1-4: “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun” Astrophysicists insisted for decades that the universe was infinite. There was no beginning and there was no end. This was very convenient for the secularists because if there was no beginning then there was no need for a creation event and therefore no need for a creator behind that event. However, Einstein’s theory of relativity and his discovery of the speed of light led to the determination that there was a moment of creation after all culminating in the Big Bang Theory. In essence, all of the matter we see today in existence started out as a tiny particle of energy which exploded resulting in the continually expanding universe we see today. You see at that moment science brought us full circle and directly back to the Creator because nothing in existence has ever been formed from nothing without an outside force or influence causing its creation. As the great astrophysicist Robert Jastrow says in his book, God and The Astronomers, “At this moment it seems as though science will never be able to raise the curtain on the mystery of creation. For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” In a similar way, man’s quest to find morality without God has led us back to the Creator by coming full circle only to discover what I call the “Moral Big Bang” which is the source of all that is good and righteous. It was thought that there is no need for the moral certitude provided by God in order to have an ethical society. However, just like the discovery of relativity disproved the idea that no creator was needed, those who have held this worldly view of a Godless morality are discovering that they are wrong as well. This wondrous moral Big Bang took place at the moment of man’s creation and further exploded into the universe when Jesus Christ took his last breath on the cross. As the earth shook, the clouds gathered, and the crowd looked on in awe a powerful force was released that defeated death itself. This unending energy and grace shines through all followers of Christ and burns just as hot and bright as the stars from the first creation. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5: 17).
  2. I always have a puzzle about my work. I am not sure if it's totally moral or Christian as I consider myself a very devoted person to the faith. A few years ago I started tutoring for wealthy international students in London. Then I slightly moved to writing assignments and closing projects for them. Writing essays, editing their dissertation, doing coursework and so on. The business grew and I had to subcontract it to a few other writers (mainly PhD students in London to work for some extra cash) to handle the workload. Withing a few years we became one of the industry leading academic essay writing companies in the world now getting assignment and university essays from UK, US, Canada and Australia. I always have this question if what I am doing is right. Some people say this is cheating. Some people say we don't recognise universities authorities as they are here to make money (not educating). What do you think? Can someone be a Christian and still have an essay writing company? Please advise me.
