I am a New Greek. I coin the term. It is a man or woman who thinks
they are to think like the Old Greeks. Their goal in life is to
express calculation and awareness through surceased questioning during
open progress and personal prosperity toward goodness and truth.
The Principle of The New Greek
--------------------------------------------
1. Religion is man's attempt to express a relationship with God.
2. A relationship with God is formed in our attempt to express a
relationship with God.
3. All nature including mathematics and science is duly sworn a duty
of every New Greek as an extension of duty commanded by Christ.

1 Chronicles 22:19 Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the
LORD
Now give your heart and soul to the worship of the Lord your God;
and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD
searches all hearts.
Deuteronomy 10:12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God say?
We must serve him with all our heart and soul.
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are
in Christ Jesus,
Romans 8:6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by
the Spirit is life and peace;
The carnal mind is not only an enemy to God, but enmity itself.
Joshua 24:22 Then Joshua said, "You are witnesses against yourselves
that you have chosen to serve the LORD." "Yes, we are witnesses," they
replied.
The carnal mind of man is enmity against God, therefore, is not
capable of such spiritual worship. Hence the necessity of being born
again. But numbers rest in mere forms, as tasks imposed upon them.
Joshua puts them to their choice; but not as if it were indifferent
whether they served God or not. Choose you whom ye will serve, now the
matter is laid plainly before you. He resolves to do this, whatever
others did. Those that are bound for heaven, must be willing to swim
against the stream. They must not do as the most do, but as the best
do. And no one can behave himself as he ought in any station, who does
not deeply consider his religious duties in family relations. The
Israelites agree with Joshua, being influenced by the example of a man
who had been so great a blessing to them; We also will serve the Lord.
See how much good great men do, by their influence, if zealous in
religion. Joshua brings them to express full purpose of heart to
cleave to the Lord. They must come off from all confidence in their
own sufficiency, else their purposes would be in vain. The service of
God being made their deliberate choice, Joshua binds them to it by a
solemn covenant. He set up a monument of it. In this affecting manner
Joshua took his last leave of them; if they perished, their blood
would be upon their own heads. Though the house of God, the Lord's
table, and even the walls and trees before which we have uttered our
solemn purposes of serving him, would bear witness against us if we
deny him, yet we may trust I do. But God hath revealed them unto us
by his Spirit: for the Spirit searching all things, yea, the deep
things of God. Him, that he will put his fear into our hearts, that we
shall not depart from him. God alone can give grace, yet he blesses
our endeavours to engage men to his service.
Ezekiel 35:3 and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am
against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand
Psalm 131:1 A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O But
I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its
mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; Nor do I involve
myself
Jeremiah 32:39 I will give them singleness of heart and action, so
32:39 One heart - I will give them union and concord, one mind and
judgment
Psalm 42:4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I
remember.
These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with
the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts
of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.
