It is becoming much clearer now. Our social reforms and legislative reforms, together with the learned opinions of “enlightened” Papua New Guineans, indicate an increasing line of thinking that PNG must no longer remain God-conscious if it is to be a modern State. Sentiments are creeping in that we no longer need God to prosper; that man is the Superior Being and must save himself without subscribing to a “make-belief, invisible being” to bail him out.
This subtle mindset-altering onslaught is sadly being pushed by a tiny yet powerful minority. Look around you and watch who controls our mainstream media. Watch what makes the news. Watch what doesn’t make the news. Watch the increasing use of words that sound worthy and noble yet promote a conscience that disagrees with the mind of God.Watch the onslaught of legitimate social concerns that, looking deeper, stamp out the Need for a God.
Nice words such as “empowerment”, “freedom of choice”, “human rights” are eating away at God’s perfect order; breaking down all absolutes and making everything relative. Even the term “Unconstitutional” is made to drive a premise that what values we held on to as an ancient people are no longer applicable and relevant. Watch how acknowledging God may soon become Unconstitutional…if those who believe in Him stay ignorant or silent. Watch how His Moral Standards are brought into question by champions of social reform.
I recently came across our Education Department’s “Behaviour Management” policy: a policy guideline to improve the behavior of school children. One page has a list of roles for students. Role # 2: “Treat peers in a caring and friendly way regardless of their gender, sexuality, health, disability, religion, race or cultural background.” Am I the only one who sees a problem with one of these standards? “Sexuality” has been included in a yardstick that would usually only have “colour, creed and sex” not “sexuality”. That wasn’t a basis for potential discrimination…until a depraved form of sexuality burst into the conscience of man and society; pushed of course by those of that “sexual orientation”, and those not accepting God’s moral order, desiring to have the society accept it as an “alternative lifestyle”.
Now my children who would most likely go to public schools will have to be taught that “homosexuality” is an alternative, legitimate orientation just like heterosexuality. The child must therefore be respectful to his male classmate who finds his male best friend sexually appealing. A prerequisite for not being discriminatory is the acceptance of the “naturality” and “okayness” of that sexuality. Now the “sinner” will be the discriminator and not the practicing homosexual person. See how social values are engineered and re-engineered to remove the God conscience?? Surely you see it!
And the terribly sad thing about that National Policy: Nothing supporting the input of Christ’s Body: The Church. Nothing Religious. Nothing Christian. It’s all just Man-Made solutions…Solutions to Man-Made Problems.
Are there any God-believing people in our Education Department (or anywhere) who can discern such subtle God-removing tactics and oppose them bravely? Shall we allow one advisor and one technical officer, from an international organization with lots of money, to determine the conscience of our nation? I say…no, I scream…NO!
How one word, unchecked and unquestioned by ‘enlightened’ Papua New Guineans, ushers in a no-God conscience in the very young?! Sounding good and sounding right does not make something right nor good….unless of course if we judge so by man’s standards—ever-changing, ever-differing, ever-failing, ever-seeking, merry-go-round
man…
If we allow the removal the God-conscience…WHAT THEN SHALL SAVE PAPUA NEW GUINEA???
I say only GOD…so let’s keep Him!

Dear Patriots,
Trying times are before us. Our identity is being challenged. The Pillars on which our nation was built have become unrecognisable as we, in embracing modernism, have buried our roots; forgotten that which our fathers, in Providence of Wisdom, had laid down as platforms for an ideal PNG.
Our values are all muddled up that we do not know what is important anymore. In riding the Waves of Change we have not cared to look ahead at where those Waves would eventually crash. But we have jumped on it for the ride...because the world rides it.
What uniqueness does PNG have to offer the world if we strive only to become like the rest of the world? What will make us special? Is it just our natural beauty; our resources?? What about offering to the World the unique and outstanding “PNG Way”; our Values, our Way of Life? Our Worldview: A splendid mix of our noble traditions, our adopted Christian principles and the accurate philosophies of right living and conduct. Is that impossible? Is that not a greater commodity? Is that not an extravagant contribution to the world? A legacy worth working for and protecting?
In our dash to conform to the world let us be reminded that we are a unique people. That we can choose, in our wisdom, what is best for us and our nation. That we can choose timeless principles to guide us in the process of decision-making; in maturity, deep thought and sound reasoning.
These are possible. Spend some time to reflect on our nation. Ask questions of yourself that you may not have asked before. Probe our identity and measure it against the world. If We can no longer separate what is PNG with the World....then we have lost who we are.
God Bless Papua New Guinea
Heavenise Week!

Kumbux Generosity
This weekend I had my paradigm shift regarding generosity. It came from a little 5yr old boy named Hans Kumbugawi Pohau, my nephew. His grandma, my “liklik mama” (dad’s sis), was with him in Wewak and was on her way to visit us here in POM. Little Kumbux took out from his pocket the only coins he had, 60t, handed to grandma and told her: “Em blo ol papa blo mi Walo, Ofa na Gg (This is for my fathers Walo, Ofa and Gg)” (my brothers n I). Grandma tried to push him a little to spend it on peanuts or gum but he was adamant the money should come to us. Mama arrived on Saturday, handed over the 60t and told us it was from our son Kumbux. We got 20t each. My brothers and I were so moved by the gesture from an innocent little boy who cared enough for his “liklik papas” to send us all he had in his pocket.
I think we I felt a bit what Jesus felt when he saw an old widow put two coins into the offering collection at the Temple. He said “This woman has given more than anyone. For in their abundance they have offered to God, but she in her poverty has put in ALL she had to live on”. I never knew how much He really appreciated that poor widow until my nephew sent me his only pocket money.
Real generosity is not in giving abundance but in giving what we cannot afford to give: no matter how small or big. The receiver of such giving cannot help but be overwhelmed by the gesture. I had that experience with my nephew. It’s changed my perspective now of real generosity. And I’m sharing this so you could also have a glimpse of it.
This week on be GENEROUS. Give what you cannot afford to give. God did it. The old widow did. And 5yr-old Kumbugawi did it! It’s not easy but it changes the world!

Wannabe Leaders Don't Wanna Be Readers
How many of us take time to read? I mean really read. Not short fb comments or chain emails or blogs that don’t necessarily take up too much of your time...not even short messages from Yours Truly. I mean Books! Books of history, of philosophy, of leadership and leaders, or novels and other great works of literature. How many of us spend time digesting words by great men and women and allow our mindsets to be shaped and moulded in great and positive ways???
Most of us will admit that it has been a while since we last dug into a good book. You may realise PNG is not short of leaders, wannabe leaders, and potential leaders. But currently we are stuck in an illusion that leading is something you pick up along the way perhaps at a seminar, or a natural by-product of education. Yes they can be stepping stones that may help in becoming leaders. But there’s a bit more we have to do to be really effective and outstanding agents of change in our country. I can think of two important things that PNGeans hate doing but need to do: READING and THINKING.
Agri-businessman Allan Bird once challenged young people to just take some time to think in order to bridge the gap between the likes of Narakobi, Tawali and other great thinkers, and ourselves. Last week Ambassador Peter Donigi, at the Election 2012 panel, challenged young people to read and continuously learn. How can we be leaders (which simply put means being ahead of the pack) if we don’t read more and think more than those who we aspire to lead? It doesn’t work that way.
My challenge here now is simple..PATRIOTS, TAKE SOME TIME TO THINK AND READ....not just the blogs and these internet mindblasts from yours truly...but real wisdom-giving books that will BROADEN your view of life and give you an insight into the REAL problems of this NATION; as well as QUICKEN your creativity in ADDRESSING those problems.
GOD BLESS THIS BEAUTIFUL PAPUA NEW GUINEA!

KEYS TO SOCIAL CHANGE....the "PROPHETS"
In our last commentary we observed the resemblance of PNG to Israel of ancient. How well we would do if our leaders behaved like Nehemiah and took personal responsibility for the nation. The unique thing about Nehemiah’s leadership was his ability to get the people to believe that they and their own rotten attitude was ultimately responsible for the state of their nation.
I often lament the fact that our leaders are so blinded by the need for material progress that they forget to look back to see where we went wrong...and I mean EXACTLY what went wrong. As far as I can see most of our leaders miss the mark in assessing the real failures of this country.
You see patriots the problem in this country is kinda like this: the TOP LEADERS (politicians) are lost in their leadership. We have a classic case of the Blind Leading the Blind. The people are equally lost or even more so. The catch is that the top leaders will not change unless the people (who elect them) change. But the people will not change automatically. As some of you have rightly pointed out to me, the people will not change spontaneously and without leadership. Change must be led. Despite us saying that all individuals must change; that change must be inspired, provoked and assisted. Question is: BY WHOM?
If our top leaders are lost and we the roots are more lost, who then shall lead such a social change? Here’s the key (as we believe in Patriots PNG): THE MIDDLE LEADERS. What I would nickname the “Prophets”. These are people who have a more or less direct impact on people’s ATTITUDE. These include people in the Clergy, in Arts, in NGOs, in Media, in Education etc.. Basically people not only exposed to these sorts of ideals (as ours) but who believe them and believe in disseminating them to the masses. If we can get enough “Prophets” to ride this wave of thought the domino effect will kick in and great positive change can be achieved in the people. ONLY WHEN THE PEOPLE CHANGE WILL OUR ELECTED LEADERS REFLECT SUCH A CHANGE.
YOU can be in that influential group. Simply give some thought to these ideals. If you see a glimpse of hope in them, make them part of you, grow into them and help others catch these ideals.
HELP PEOPLE WITHIN YOUR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE TO CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDES, TO BE TRUE PATRIOTS, LOVERS OF PNG...TO SIMPLY BE THE CHANGE.
GOD BLESS PNG!
