Lyrics of Justified by Faith

 Therefore, being justified by faith

We have peace with God, 

Through our Lord Jesus Christ

Because the love of God is shed abroad in our heart

By the Holy Ghost 

Which is given, which is given

unto us, to us, unto us. 


Chuwi Chuwi Chuwi oom baba

Aaya ya ya ya ya ya

la la la la la la 

la la la la la la

la la la la la la 

la la unto to us. 

(This chorus is based on Romans 5:1 & 5 of Kings James Version)

Chapter 4 of John Rawl's Political Liberalism

In Chapter 4 of his book "Political Liberalism", John Rawls aims to explore the issue of political stability in a liberal democratic society. Rawls argues that political stability can be achieved in a liberal society by adopting a political conception of justice that is suitable for a pluralistic society.

Rawls suggests that a political conception of justice is necessary in a pluralistic society because it allows people to come to a common understanding of justice, without requiring that they all share the same comprehensive moral or religious doctrines or worldviews. This means that people with different beliefs can still work together to create a just society, as long as they can agree on a set of basic principles that form the basis of justice.

Rawls argues that political stability requires that citizens have a sense of political justice, which can only be achieved if the basic principles of justice are publicly recognized and accepted by all citizens. This requires a public and ongoing dialogue about justice, and a willingness to compromise and make adjustments to the principles of justice as new challenges arise.

Rawls also discusses the role of public reason in a liberal society. He argues that public reason is essential for political stability because it allows citizens to engage in a common public dialogue about justice, and helps to ensure that political decisions are made on the basis of principles that are publicly acceptable.

Overall, Rawls emphasizes the importance of developing a political conception of justice that is suitable for a pluralistic society, and fostering a sense of political justice among citizens through ongoing public dialogue and the use of public reason.

Chapter 3 of Political Liberalism

 

Chapter 3 of John Rawls' "Political Liberalism" explores the idea of a "freestanding" political conception of justice. Rawls underscores that this conception should be independent of comprehensive religious, philosophical, or moral doctrines, and should instead be based on a shared political idea of justice that all citizens can reasonably accept. He further underlines that this idea must be formulated in a way that is compatible with a diverse and pluralistic society, and should provide a basis for public reason and political cooperation among citizens. Rawls also asserts that a political conception of justice should include basic liberties and rights, and should be structured in a way that enables citizens to pursue their own goals and values while respecting the rights and liberties of others. Rawls' aim in this chapter is to provide a framework for a just and stable political order that can be acceptable to all citizens, regardless of their comprehensive beliefs or worldviews. One of the concerns of Rawls that can be observed in this chapter is that social and political minorities are not discriminated against by the will and concerns of the majority, and that the minorities have as much liberties and rights as the majority communities do. 

Chapter 4 is here. 

A Gospel sonnet

 Behold, dear friends, the Word of God above,

Whose grace and mercy doth endure always,

In every trial, every test of love,

He gives us strength to sing His holy praise.



His Word, like shining light in darkness,

leads the lost and wandering souls to righteousness.

With gentle hand, it sows the sacred seeds,

And brings the peace that calmeth all distress.



The Lord, who loved us with a love so true,

bear our sins upon the cross with pain,

And rose again, victories and anew,

That we might share in His eternal reign.



So let us trust in Him and follow still,

And by His grace, our hearts with joy shall fill.

A story about a monkey and a crab

 Once upon a time, there was a mischievous monkey named Max who lived in a lush jungle. One day, as he was swinging from branch to branch, he stumbled upon a crab named Carlos who was scurrying along the ground.

Max couldn’t resist making a prank and quickly snatched Carlos by his shell. Carlos was not amused and demanded to be released at once. Max, with a grin on his face, asked Carlos why he was in such a hurry.

Carlos huffed, “I’m on my way to a fancy dinner party and I’m already running late. If I don’t make it on time, they’ll start the feast without me.”

Max chuckled, “I’m on my way to a fancy dinner party and I’m already running late. If I don’t make it on time, they’ll start the feast without me.

Max chuckled and said, “Well, in that case, let me give you a hand… or a paw.” And with that, Max lifted Carlos up and swung him over to the party.

When they arrived, all the guests were already seated and enjoying the delicious spread. Carlos was mortified to see that he was the last to arrive, but Max wouldn’t let him be embarrassed for long.

Max announced in a loud voice, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the guest of honour, the one and only Carlos the Crab!”

Everyone turned to look at Carlos, who was now blushing from head to toe. Max continued, “He may be a little late, but he sure knows how to make an entrance. Carlos, show us your moves!”

To everyone’s surprise, Carlos started to tap dance on the table, causing all the guests to break out into laughter and applause. Max joined in, adding his own monkeys business to the performance.

From that day on, Max and Carlos became the best of friends and the life of every party they attended. They were known throughout the jungle as the dynamic duo who could always be counted on for a good laugh.

And so, the monkey and the crab lived happily ever after, proving that sometimes the greatest friendships are formed from the silliest pranks.
