Here is your chance to select which Topic/Subject you would prefer to see
developed as the next Motivational and Inspirational Tutorial through the
Shareware System. You will also find brief comments and questions on each
proposed Topic/Subject.

        1. SALVATION AND SOCIAL JUSTICE: The idea here is to find out what
           the Bible is saying about treatment of the poor and our Social
           Responsibilities as Christians. Also, what are the implications
           of "The Year Of Jubliee" for us today?

        2. SALVATION AND HUMAN RELATIONSHIP: How does salvation direct the
           attitudes and behavior of Christians toward mankind, especially,
           toward fellow-believers?

        3. THE TEST OF PROSPERITY: Was Jesus teaching in "The Sermon On The
           Mount" that His followers are to accept abject poverty as the
           means of becoming spiritual? Or, was He teaching that godly people
           are to exercise dominion over the earth and be able to manage
           God's resources to do good to all?

           Was Jesus teaching that His followers are to put themselves in
           positions where they can handle the TEST OF PROSPERITY for God's
           glory instead of living in luxery to boast over the poor? But if
           Christians are to accept abject pooverty, who are those servants
           of Christ who are to give "Meat in due seanson" to others?

        4. THE SWORD AND PLOWSHARE: Is the issue of turning the sword into
           agrecultral tools for feeding people a consideration for a future
           "Kingdom Age"? Or, is this a ministry of followers of Christ in
           the here and now? Could it be that while ungodly people are waging
           wars, godly people who are enlightened by God's Spirit, are to be
           using technology to demonstrate pratical love to mankind?

        5. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR "HEIRS OF GOD": What are the implications and
           the responsibilities of "Joint_Heirs With Christ"? When and where
           will these "Heirs of God and Joint-Heirs with Christ" carry out
           their functions and responsibilities?

        6. THE SCOPE OF "THE GREAT COMMISSION": When Jesus said words to the
           effect that ULTIMATE POWER AND AUTHORITY have been given unto Him,
           was He limiting this to spiritual power? Does "The Great Commiss-
           ion" give Christians a mandate to exercise power under God for
           doing things which authenticate the message of the Gospel? In what
           way is Jesus, "By the power of His word," exercising power and is
           "Upholding all things" in the universe?

        7. CHRISTIANS AND TAXATION: Should Christians be advocating that Tax
           Laws be more supportive of Family Units? make it easier for
           families to afford better education for their children? for more
           business-minded families to carry on businesses out of their homes?
           for Christians to use international business opportunities to do
           good to mankind around the world? Should Christians be advocating
           for Fair Tax laws for the poor?

        8. HAVING THE MIND OF CHRIST: What are the implications of Christians
           having "The mind which was also in Christ Jesus"? Does this
           include knowledge, wisdom and understanding as they relate to
           Jesus? How was the mind of Jesus, as a man, affecting His decisions
           as He "Went about doing good," showing God's care for the whole
           man? Is there also a social dimension to the mind?

           Are Christians showing qualities of "The mind of Christ" when we
           seem to be cutting ourselves off from the creation in which God is
           demonstrating His wisdom and His power? Should churches everywhere
           be assisting and encouraging people to develop themselves intellect-
           ually to show likeness to the God of wisdom?

        9. NUTRITION AND THE MIND: Since there is a spiritual and an inte-
           llectual dimension of the mind, how does lack of nurishment affect
           the ability of the poor to love and serve God with the mind? Should
           churches be seeing it as part of world-wide mission to link adiquate
           nurishment to educational development of the poor?
