3.7 Being the Light

3.7 Being the Light

Author: OurFoundations August 4, 2021 Duration: 1:02:34
Light is representative of the side of the Natural Order we are to pursue and it should also be representative of us. Going back to the example of the Early Church, this episode looks at some of their writings for references to being light. This is mostly commentary on Matthew 5:14-16, Ephesians 5:8-17, 1 Corinthians 5:6-13, and 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1. The passages in Matthew are directly from the teachings of Yeshua that the Early Church was based on and the others were from letters sent to and for some of the first congregations of early Christians. This gets us into some applications of what is means to live according to the Light side principles of the Natural Order while living in a world of gray and darkness.    Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Email - ourfoundations@protonmail.com - SubscribeStar to support/ donate - https://www.subscribestar.com/ourfoundations - Patreon to support / donate - https://www.patreon.com/ourfoundations - Twitter - https://twitter.com/Foundationspc - Medium - https://medium.com/@OurFoundations - Bitcoin Address - 1AZFLCvmfXasChaaecgYMP3vtnUrnLJoY7 - Litecoin - LcXEqTS4ooNed1sxkbonuTrwM21ubWf2qi - Ethereum - 0x409D0F2766e208C1Ea97fF2429D38a3D9E3abd3a - Zcash - t1SZKfocBcghVMWVCsbSA9zAHr5fzsxi62H - Pivx - D7ziutb5gGNnJ5pXngwa3w9zJj2P1iNzUT - Bitcoin Cash - bitcoincash:qprk7ppzepzdnczvl6lffz8f5zcnjh0hyvwlgm983x - Nano - nano_16gh7igt8zb1cntbmq1hrnmnc9ea9qrj3zycscqywhak5dgtx1gwommekt7r  - Music :  - Pied Piper by Shaolin Dub is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License. - Jet Fueled Vixen Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License  - Hard Fragility by Bisou is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial License  - Gjallar by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Hosted by OurFoundations, each episode is a thoughtful exploration of the frameworks governing society-politics, economics, education-and their interconnected evolution. You’ll hear discussions grounded in historical context and philosophical inquiry, often challenging conventional narratives by introducing alternative perspectives on power, governance, and human organization.
