We all face challenges and problems in our personal lives, families, business, (including Church and Govenment) unimagined even one and two years ago.

These challenges are not only of a new order of magnitude, they are altogether different in kind.

Many people do not think this way, at least consciously. In fact, you will increasingly find that principled solutions stand in stark contrast to the common practices and thinking of our popular culture. Allow me to illustrate this contrast with a few of the most common human challenges we face.
