As believers, this is a subject on which we...2024-06-1950 min

Principle Perspective with Mike WintherBiblical Principles of Government (10a)In this session, Mike Winther discusses government, relativism, and absolute truth.

Principle Perspective with Mike WintherBiblical Principles of Government (9a)Mike Winther continues his discussion on Biblical Principles of Government. This episode will focus on history, but he begins the lecture by highlighting two key solutions to our problems: the political solution and the educational solution. All of our efforts to change the world can be divided into these two categories. We either try to change society politically or through education. Unfortunately, we often concentrate all our efforts on the political solution, when focusing on education is the real answer. Spending just one-tenth of what is spent on political campaigns on biblical education could significantly influence the outlooks of...2024-05-291h 02

Principle Perspective with Mike WintherBiblical Principles of Government (7b)Mike Winther continues his conversation from last week about charity, highlighting God's plan for generosity and the importance of sharing.

Principle Perspective with Mike WintherBiblical Principles of Government (6b)This episode of the series begins by discussing the 2007 and 2008 housing bubble, a topic that remains highly relevant today.

Mike dives into the causes of this housing bubble, highlighting the manipulation of interest rates, the pricing of money, and the economic stimulation by the Federal Reserve. He discusses how low interest rates and the selling of loan bundles led to the ultimate...2024-04-2445 min

This assertion underlines the principle of The Collective Application of God's Commands. Mike dives into the concepts of individualism and collectivism, explaining individualism as dealing with individuals, whereas collectivism addresses the group as a whole.

Principle Perspective with Mike WintherBiblical Principles of Government (5b)Last week, Mike Winther discussed the biblical view of property, the definition of property, and the question of whether private property should even exist. Throughout this series of lectures, he has been using the example of an island to illustrate each concept. Today, we return to the island to vote on redistributing money from the island's wealthy family to its poorer counterpart. In essence, our island has adopted a somewhat socialist approach, redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor. This change necessitates the introduction of an IRS agent and a social worker, leading to decreased production. Winther continues...2024-04-1050 min

In this segment, Mike embarks on an examination of Samuel Chapter 8, focusing on the events following the Israelites' entry into the promised land, which was preceded by a significant 40-year period of wandering in the wilderness.

Contrarily, only two spies, Caleb and Joshua, remained optimistic and faithful to God's guidance. Despite the...2024-03-2043 min

Principle Perspective with Mike WintherBiblical Principles of Government (2b)Romans chapter 13 is constantly used to say that Christians, or citizens in general, should always obey the civil authorities. There's a whole series of debates that come out of this. When is it proper for a Christian to obey authority? Is it ever proper to rebel against authority?

Principle Perspective with Mike WintherNo Shortcut, No Compromise, No RetreatIs education something that should be mandatory? This question has sparked debate worldwide. A significant issue arises from the fact that people often don't value what they're forced into. Take, for example, the average high school student who is compelled to attend school. Similarly, many college students eagerly await graduation, with their focus not on learning or the educational process but on the obligation to be there. In contrast, homeschoolers often exhibit a markedly different attitude, approaching education with purpose and intention. This was the central theme of a commencement speech delivered by Mike Winther at a...2024-01-2422 min

Principle Perspective with Mike WintherTeaching EconomicsThere is a mathematical aspect to economics, but it's not the fundamental core.
