Seven Pillars of Society

I just heard this from Kris Voltron.
There are seven pillars of society:

1. Justice
   
   • The law is a facilitator of justice.
   • The law only has purpose in bringing about and sustaining justice.
   • When a society looses its grip on justice, the law begins to serve itself and taking on a life of its own.
     
     • This creates a culture where peace officers become law enforcement officers and justice courts become magistrates of the law.
     • Judges and juries are now charged with determining if someone broke the law, rather than if someone performed an injustice.
       
2. Peace
   
   • Peace is the foundation of government.
   • The purpose of all government is to facilitate peace.
   • When peace is removed from government, the government begins to serve itself.
     
     • The goal of its officials becomes staying in power rather than extending the borders of peace.
       
   • Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of wholeness.
     
3. Love
   
   • Love is the purpose of fatherhood.
   • Fathers are facilitators of love.
     
     • When fathers loose love, fathers become bosses and families become his subjects.
     • Caring and compassion are replaced with sexual perversion and abandonment.
     • Happiness is no longer the fruit of loving relationships, but instead becomes the purpose of them.
       
       • ‘I’m not happy’ becomes the purpose of my actions.
         
4. Honor
   
   • Honor is the element in society that allows people to be empowered rather than controlled.
   • Honor is the responsibility of sons. They exemplify respect that results in order.
   • When honor is served instead of serving, it causes leaders to demand honor even when it is incongruent with their character.
     
     • This results in a culture of control that is manifest through fear.
       
5. Truth
   
   • Truth is more than honesty. It is the embodiment of reality.
   • The fruit of truth is life and the word of god is the facilitator of truth.
   • Teachers are the stewards of truth.
   • When truth is absent from a culture, the bible begins to served instead of serving.
     
     • This consequently leads to people learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth.
       
       • Resulting in rules of religion being exchanged for the realities of relationship.
         
6. Righteousness
   
   • Righteousness is more than an accumulation of good character choices.
   • Righteousness is the visible expression of the habitation of an invisible yet holy god.
   • Righteousness is the personification of the very nature of God being manifest in His creatures resulting in his likeness emanating through his people.
   • When divinity is absent from a culture, Godliness is reduced to goodness which is attained through discipline instead of a pure heart.
     
7. Wisdom
   
   • Wisdom is the ability to rightly apply knowledge in a way that builds for the future that which is envisioned by the creator so that the divine ecosystem of heaven yields life.
   • Rulers are the stewards of wisdom.
     
     • They are to lead in a way that creates an environment that draws out and facilitator the destiny of people both individually and corporately.
       
   • When the definition of wisdom is reduced to the gathering and recalling of information it results in futility.
     

Holy Cow.
