What is it that separates us from one another as Christians? Didn't Jesus say in John 17:20 - 23: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Didn't Paul say in 1 Cor 12:27: Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. Again, Jesus said in 1 John 4:20: Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. What are we to make of all this? Visit MackAndMike.com for more.

Foundational principles are sometimes called fundamental principles. For now, we can summarize it like this: "principles from which other truths can be derived". Here is an analogy. I taught land navigation in the Air Force as a part of annual combat survival training before GPS. It is too bad life does not come with one. The first thing you need to know is exactly where you are before heading for a destination. The starting point is your foundation. You will not arrive at your proper place if you do not know where you are starting from. When navigating if you are off by 1 degree and you are only traveling a few miles you will likely end up very close to your destination. If you are off by 1 degree over many miles you will be way off target. You may end up lost or in the hands of the enemy. As you move towards your destination on a map you must pause and check your trajectory from time to time. It is natural to become distracted and drift off course. The same is true in life. We must rely on foundational principles to navigate life properly. We also need to check our current position from time to time. Mac and Mike discuss a wide range of subjects. We are aware our thoughts and conclusions about certain things will not make sense to everyone. If we do a better job of explaining our foundational principles it will help to clarify things for our audience. If we fall down on the job of explaining please leave a comment and ask why we have come to a particular conclusion or hold a certain view.

If we look at our country today a lack of accountability would top the list of issues. We can see it in government at all levels. We see it in our courts. We see it in our schools and even in poorly run businesses. Everything starts at the local level. First, you must live a responsible life. Then you must hold friends and family accountable. From there you hold your local schools and government officials accountable. Everything starts with you and me. It’s personal!
