Psalm 19:1-5 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.”

Demonstration is the most powerful ministry exemplified from God’s OWN life and purpose as I see it. It is emulated fully through his own example, the example He passed down through Christ and the hope placed upon His greatest creation – humanity.

In this passage ascribed to King David, we learn that WORDS are not necessary to express the greatness of God. Rather, it is THE ABUNDANT LIFE well-lived. It is the life that is completely fulfilled in CHRIST’S ETERNAL FULLNESS. IT IS the same expectation that is proclaimed in all things HE CREATED AND COUNTED as good (meaning prosperous, purpose fulfilling).

(Because this is a serious topic among the congregation, this book has been offered as a free resource. You may download it or read it online here.)

The idea here is to fully establish a foundation of what plagiarism looks like in the natural, so that we can build a strong spiritual understanding around it. Our thesis is simple: “Thou shalt not steal.” (KJV Bible)

Let’s take a look at some additional examples of what plagiarism might look like by exploring some real life, extremely public cases:

  • JAYSON BLAIR: One of the most infamous cases of plagiarism over the past decade is the story of a former New York Times reporter by the name of Jayson Blair. He was proven to have plagiarized more than 30 national news stories by inventing fictional quotes and stealing quotes from other news articles or news magazines. Not only did Blair resign, but two editors within the company resigned as well. While this case was indeed an embarrassment for all parties involved, the reputation or “good name” of this man was critically tarnished regardless of the skill and writing ability that landed him the position in the first place. Just putting his name search engines brings up topic after topic on what is being coined the “plagiarism dilemma” (Dan Barry, et al. 2013).
