The mind reels in the attempt to understand the insanity of paganism. ![]() Modern cultic, pagan religions have built their appeal on this vacuum. Ignorant of the great moral and religious strengths of our country, they were unable to impart these to the new generation. The children from this background have now become the parents, teachers, political leaders, new media people, playwrights, actors, entertainers, clergymen, business and professional people. Now, two generations of graduates have been subjected to these godless philosophies through our schools. How will one find truth if he is convinced it doesn't exist? Our American youth have thus been disenfranchised from our Christian heritage. Alan Bloom demonstrated, from simply a secular background, that relativism is intellectually and morally bankrupt. We have disconnected ourselves from the benefits of 2,000 years of the painful lessons we call Western Civilization. In our strive to be "open" to multiculturalism, we have abandoned the quest for truth-in fact, denying its existence 5-in exchange for "value relativism." 4Īlan Bloom was probably the most surprised when his book, The Closing of the American Mind-after 30 years at University of Chicago-made the cover of a major news magazine a few years ago. The deliberate dumbing-down of America is precisely the subversive goal of Goals 2000, Outcome Based Education and related programs. The astonishing shock that awaits anyone looking into this seriously, is that this is the intended result! One would presume that this was a result of poor or inept management. The continual upscaling of school budgets has resulted in depressingly poorer performances. ![]() Through the teachings of John Dewey's humanism, his atheism, amorality, evolution, and one-world socialism permeated our educational system and excluded from our textbooks the moral and Biblical teachings which had been the bedrock of our American culture. In any cultural war, truth is the first casualty.Ī Culture Committed to the Pursuit of Truth?Įarly in this century, many "intellectuals" in our society became enamored with the doctrines of Freudianism, the materialism of Feurbach, the nihilism of Nietzsche, the dialectic of Hegel, the communism of Marx, along with Behaviorism, Socialism, Existentialism ("do your own thing"), Rationalism, Fabianism, and Humanism.ĭavid Breese's recent book, Seven Men Who Rule the World From the Grave, highlights the impacts of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, George Wellhausen, Sigmund Freud, John Maynard Keynes, Soren Kierkegaard and, of course, John Dewey. Perhaps most fearsome of all, it has also ushered in a wholesale abandonment of truth. This "fabulous century" has ushered in astonishing changes in the realms of technology and yet, strangely, it has also probed new depths of darkness with devastating wars and monstrous new weapons, yielding the bloodiest, most revolutionary, most unpredictable century of any in history. The pursuit of truth is our greatest challenge in every one of our endeavors. Truth is the key to success, fulfillment, victory, or achieving any worthwhile goal. ![]() And yet a moment's consideration quickly reveals that truth is our most precious treasure to be coveted. Few of us have the will to raise the question ourselves. "What is Truth?" the famed Roman procurator cynically asked rhetorically. " Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth." Ephesians 6:14 2Īctually, the Holy Spirit is consistent in His use of idioms: these same elements had been alluded to in the Old Testament. The detailed description of the armor may stem from Paul's being chained to a Roman soldier while in prison awaiting trial. In Ephesians 6, Paul provides us with a detailed description of the Armor of God. And the time to "put it on" is before the battle begins, not during. Notice that we must be completely armed: one or two pieces won't do. The Bible commands us, with all urgency, to "put on the whole armor of God." 1 What is this? What does this really mean? If we are not properly prepared, we are sitting ducks. Last month we began a series of articles on the "Armor of God." You and I are engaged in a desperate warfare: a spiritual warfare.

Simple, fast and effective data shredding tool for deleting entire drives before disposing of them.Digi: Artificial Intelligence, Real Romance The zip file can also be downloaded on to a Linux machine, where you'll need to create the bootable floppy or CD/DVD manually using the supplied image files. Once complete, you can dispose of it as you wish. The Options screen can be left alone unless you’re an advanced user, then click Next followed by Start to shred the drive in question. Start by selecting the drive – select “Multishred” if you wish to delete two or more drives simultaneously, then choose the method of deleting data from the disk – the more passes you select, the more thorough the data shredding process, although it will be much slower. It’s a simple step-by-step process – do you need us to remind you to have transferred or backed up the drive’s contents first? If in doubt, take an image of the entire drive using a tool like Macrium Reflect Free first, ensuring you have a copy of every single piece of data you’re about to wipe. If, however, you’re simply looking to wipe an entire hard drive prior to disposing of it, then HDShredder Free Edition will prove more than adequate. Run the application and you’ll immediately be informed more fully functional options exist, all of which cost money. It’s designed to run directly from Windows to delete external drives or secondary internal drives, or can be copied to bootable floppy disk or CD/DVD, enabling you to shred the drive Windows itself is installed on. HDShredder is one such tool that can do the job. Before you pass on any hard drive to someone else, you need to take steps to ensure the data on the drive itself is erased securely so it’s not easily – accidentally or otherwise – recovered by the next owner. Simply formatting the drive isn’t an option – deleted data isn’t actually physically erased from the hard drive, and remains recoverable until the space that data resides on is overwritten with fresh files. The problem is, it contains a record of your data, which may include sensitive information such as personal documents, photos or financial data. Your PC or hard drive has come to the end of its useful life, and you wish to move it on – perhaps via eBay or by giving it away to a relative, friend or charity. ![]() It is not possible to do so on the iOS platform due to NDA restrictions and having to pay a developer fee.

Accountholders in disproportionately white ZIP codes had an average HSA balance of $5,004, compared with $3,438 and $3,737 balances for accountholders living in disproportionately Black and Hispanic ZIP codes, respectively. The Employee Benefit Research Institute also found race and gender disparities in HSA usage. Only 3.6% of accountholders living in the ZIP codes of the lowest income quartile had made investments, compared with 11.6% of those living in a ZIP code in the highest income quartile. Likewise, a 2020 study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that the balance was $2,229 for an accountholder living in a ZIP code in the lowest income quartile, compared with $5,919 for the highest income quartile. How about accumulation? Are HSAs proving to be an effective tax-advantaged vehicle for saving dollars that can meet healthcare expenses in retirement? Seven percent of HSA accounts held investments in 2022, and 32% of overall HSA assets are invested, according to an annual study of the HSA market by Devenir Research, a research and consulting firm. Contribution levels fell along with income, and only a small percentage of low-income tax returns contributed. An analysis by the Congressional Research Service of 2017 IRS data found that tax returns with more than $500,000 in adjusted gross income were the most likely to report individual HSA contributions, and returns between $200,000 and $1 million were the most likely to report employer contributions. IRS data shows that high-income people are the most likely to use HSAs-and benefit from them. But contributions can also be saved and invested for the long term. (This week, the IRS announced a large increase in contribution limits for 2024, driven by higher inflation.) Contributed amounts can be used to meet deductibles and other out-of-pocket healthcare costs in any given year. In both cases, an additional $1,000 catch-up is allowed for workers age 55 and older. For example, this year the combined limit for employers and an individual worker is $3,850, and $7,750 for families. Employers and employees can contribute to the accounts, up to a certain limit, which is adjusted annually. In 2023, HSAs can be used by people enrolled in qualifying high-deductible health plans, or HDHPs, with a minimum deductible of $1,500 (individual coverage) or $3,000 (family coverage). Who’s Seeing the Most Benefits From HSAs? |
