“Part 1: Our global identity problem If a person cannot prove who they are, can they take advantage of all of the opportunities society has to offer? For the 850 million people around the world who lack any acceptable form of legal identity, the answer is no. Identity verification enables people to fully participate in the economy. It eases access to employment and education as well as services such as banking, government programs, and health care.”

Earned income proven to be spent on education would not be taxed if adequate verification can be provided to the IRS that the income was paid to colleges, universities, other institutions of education. Would this policy incentivize individuals to invest in educating themselves? What might be some outcomes? Intended and unintended? Your thoughts….

“Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him (Jesus) in his words. They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?” But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.” ‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭15‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Though it’s important to remember that as followers of Jesus, we are not responsible for “converting” others to our beliefs. We are only responsible for sowing the seed by pointing others gently toward Jesus. The rest is up to the Holy Spirit to work on their hearts. Our actions should attract people into the love of Christ as they experience Christ-like purity, love, and unity from His very own followers. Godly actions that put others interests ahead of our own can be criticized by people who might misinterpret unselfish acts as a weakness. Don’t give up though—this world needs more kind people like you! Some people think Christians should behave better than non-christians. While that seems logical, the only way a Christian can “level up” to a higher standard of behavior is by remaining close to Jesus and surrendering our lives to Him. We must remember that every human being is a sinner and only God’s presence in our lives can make us anything more than what our fallen nature dictates. Adventists believe it’s not enough to just call ourselves Christians. The way we behave in all areas of our lives, both inside the church and out, should reflect the behavior of Jesus. Everything we watch, read, eat, do, think and say should be for God’s glory and not our own (1 Corinthians 10:31). https://www.adventist.org/christian-behavior/

HOW WE TREAT OTHERS “Walking in love” means caring for the interests of others as well as ourselves (Philippians 2:4). If the Holy Spirit is living within us, the natural outpouring of behaviors will be “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). https://www.adventist.org/christian-behavior/

Equal opportunity does not equate to equal outcomes. Outcomes differ. That’s ok. Allow nature to take its course.

“I'm now aging into my quiet phase, as I've seen others do. A slow pull back from the initial excitment, from the conversations, the orange pilling, the social media wrangling. Getting back to minding my own business, thinking about opsec, and generational legacy.” View quoted note →
