Who is it that determines what is right and what is wrong? This is a very important question, because without an authority for objective moral truth, there would be no difference between right and wrong. Many say that it’s society that determines morality, or that moral truth depends on the person. Some would even say that we should rely on psychologists and philosophers as our moral compass. It is reasonable to believe that we ought all be held to a single moral standard, if not simply for the sake clarity. So whose standard is the best standard? Why Moral Truth Does not Vary Among Individual ..read more

“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” – John Adams The year 2020 has been an extraordinarily weird year that has just oozed chaos. We’ve seen a global pandemic, followed by an economic collapse that rivals the Great Depression of 1929-1941. More importantly though, we have also witnessed the fallout of a massive moral decay in our nation the likes of which we haven’t seen in history. America has been amid a moral pandemic for decades now, and the worst of its side effects are coming to surface in a very ugly ..read more

“Take the high road. It’s not about choosing between the good and the bad; it’s about choosing between the good and the best.” Dr. Clarence Sexton Nobody is ever in a constant state, and by that I mean that people change. Changes in our lives don’t occur overnight, but change is evident overtime isn’t it? Nearly everything about us is subject to change and that is out of our hands; but what isn’t out of our hands is the direction of that change. I think it’s agreeable that we should all drive to be better people, for sure. But how? Well, it comes down to what you’re made of; so let’s talk abo ..read more

“Therefore take no thought…for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.“ Matthew 6:31-33 Don’t worry about it. Seriously; I mean it. Whatever it is that you are dealing with, stop worrying about it. Why? Because you worrying about anything is how you become the greatest thief of your own happiness. Instead, choose to give your trials and troubles to God, because when you do that, God will give you the peace that passes all understanding. Give Up Control Faith is ..read more

“Fear does not stop death. It stops life. And worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles; it takes away today’s peace.” Harold Vaughan Fear is the state of mind that compels you to compromise freedom for security. Fear is the greatest manufacturer of mediocrity, and the largest factory for regret. Fear causes people to sacrifice thrill of living for the lull of surviving. Why? Because fear keeps you from living a life of faith, which holds you back from true joy and prosperity. The Fear of Failure “Losers use failure as an excuse to continue to fail; winners use failure as motivation to ..read more

“…knowing that if the family goes, so goes the nation.” Ronald Reagan The greatest influencer on the decisions that individuals make throughout their lives is the family that they come from. This is true whether they come from a broken home or from a home still intact. Both positive family backgrounds, and negative family backgrounds shape how a person thinks and behaves. Thus, there could not be a more important topic, for modern day life and how the future will be effected, than that of the home. Identifying the Threat Every nation is a nation of families, and the direction the family goes ..read more

“It is easy to dodge responsibility, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.” Sir Josiah Stamp In most of my TimTalks, politics tends to dominate the conversation, and that would be because I happen to love talking politics. However, what I feel would be much more important in a strange time like this, (amid all the lawlessness and during a time where every, seemingly insignificant, politician is on a rampage for power), is a TimTalk that is more applicable to day to day life. So we are going to discuss taking responsibility. And no; before you ask, “Tim, does th ..read more

“There will be no conversation in which you call me a racist, and I explain why I’m not a racist. That’s a conversation for idiots.” Ben Shapiro The time has come for me to grace you all with another one of my apparently unpopular opinions: “America is not Racist, but…” Now you might be asking, “Okay Tim, you didn’t finish that. What is the ‘but’ at the end of your opinion?” Thanks for asking, I’m glad you care to know my opinion! (And before you say, “actually, I don’t care about your opinion.” remember that you likely wouldn’t be reading this if that were true.) My opinion is that America i ..read more

The pursuit of happiness is one of the inalienable rights listed in the U.S. Constitution and is arguably one of the most defining qualities of freedom. Regardless of how patriotic one may be, it’s quite understandable that pursuing happiness is not a uniquely American freedom, though there may be more options in America. Instead happiness is uniquely a human freedom, because people instinctively want to be happy. Everyone wants to be happy, and very many people spend their entire lives in search for happiness. Unfortunately though, the freedom to find happiness is arguably the most difficult ..read more

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington America has the freest speech laws in the world. People can say whatever they want to say without any fear of being incarcerated or fined for their speech. However, there is a rapid movement to place restrictions on rhetoric known as hate speech. Hate speech is known, typically, to be something said that is offensive to a minority group. There is also a call to enforce the use of preferred pronouns for people who identify as non-binary, or some other made-up gender. There ..read more
