Making The World A Better Place

 The world is in dear need of a change, how can you make it a better place? People have proposed many solutions and they are yet to make an impact. The truth remains that the root cause of the problems has not been addressed. This post aims at addressing this.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever – Psalm 111:10 (NKJV)

The creatures have turned their backs on their creator. Woe to him who strives with his maker! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘what are you making?’ – Isaiah 45:9. This is exactly what the people of the world have done. They feel God’s ways are foolish and that they can do better. Unfortunately, the world we have now is the result of their wisdom.

The fear of the Lord
