Things that can be monetarise are supported by things that cannot be monetarised

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen has been made from things that are not visible (Hebrews 11:3 HCSB).
With our eyes we can see in the world of mammon, things that can be monetarise are supported by things that cannot be monetarised.
We can pay the salesmen easily. Give him a commission based on his sales. It is a bit more difficult to determine the value of the back-end supporting staff. But we can also pay them bonuses based on company's profit. But how do we measure the monetary values of loyalty, integrity and honesty which the staff has?
Commercial organisations exist to make money. Monetarising their effort is quite easy. However, if the other supporting organisations are not there, commerce may not be viable. You would need the police to maintain law and order. You need the civil service to maintain public services. You need religions and charities to keep people happy in bad times.
How do we measure the contributions of non-commercial entities? What would happen if we monetarised their effort? Would things be the same?
Behind every successful person is a woman, usually the super mum. But motherhood is free. Whenever a woman gets paid, it is usually for her job, not as a mother. Yet a good mother may bring up a valuable person who may contribute millions to the economy. But what would happen if motherhood is monetarised? Would motherhood be the same?
If the business of an organisation is charity and the income is from donations, how then do we pay the employees? Do we pay the CEO by the amount of donation which he can garner (which can be monetarised), or the effectiveness of the organisation's charity focus (which cannot be monetarise)?
Prince is a commercial pop singer that makes lots for money for his record company. So his company also pays him well.
Joseph Prince is a pastor that makes lots of money for his church, so his church also pays him well. But is the money that the church gets an "income" in the commercial sense? When a pastor's effort is monetarised, are things still the same?
Without Jesus, there would be no Apostles. Without the apostles, there would be no Christianity. Without Christianity, there would be no Joseph Prince. How much then should we pay Jesus? Satan once offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world (Matthew 4:8, Luke 4:6), if only He would worship him. Jesus rejected the offer. Can we offer Jesus more than what Satan, the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2), had offered?
All the Apostles, save John, were martyred. This is God's earthly reward for those who laid the foundations of Christianity. If the efforts of the Apostles were monaterised, how much should be they be paid? If they accept the pay, where would Christianity be today?
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose. Jim Elliot.
Don’t sacrifice the permanent on the altar of the immediate. Bob Jones Senior.

A friend's illogical gospel

Once an elder brother of a friend told me this, "For those who died without knowing Christ, God would judge them according to their works. If they are good, they will go heaven. However, if anyone who have heard the Gospel and rejected its message, that person will go to hell." Now this person was trying to console himself that his father, who died without Christ, is now in heaven because he was good, and also trying to defend God for sending people who had no chance of hearing to Gospel to hell (e.g. the millions of Chinese in China before missionaries from the West came).
"Then we should not preach the Gospel, because we are sending people to hell if they reject it," I replied.
"Preaching the Gospel is about heavenly warfare, and so we must preach," was his reply.
But this gospel made me a judge of men. If I judged that he is so evil and definitely hell-bound, I would preach the Gospel to him, perchance he may accept and be saved. If I judged that he is good and may go to heaven on his own, then preaching the Gospel gives him a chance to reject it and send him to hell. If this gospel is true, God has delegated part of his job at the Great White Throne to me.

The purpose of preservation of saints

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. (John 10:29 KJV)

The doctrine of the preservation of saints is given to us so that weak and sinful Christians like me can have something to cling to. If God had not promised that He would persevere in our salvation, we would have given up hope.

There are those who believe that because we are saved once and for all and we can sin, such people do not have any notion of the sinfulness of sin and they should examine their faith.

There is no chicken-and-egg problem in the Bible

There is no chicken-and-egg problem in the Bible. The chicken came first and that can be deduced by logic. Since you need a male and female chicken to start producing the egg, the chicken have to come first.

There are many issues if the egg come first.

1. Where does the egg get the sperm to fertilise it? If it is already fertilised, then it is a special pre-fertilised egg. That means it is not the normal egg that is being produced today.
2. Who will take care of the chick when it is hatched?
3. There have to be a minimum of two eggs, one male and one female.

So which is easier, to have two special pre-fertilised male and female egg to hatch into full grown male and female chicken, or just have the full grown male and female chicken straight away? Use Occam's razor and you will get the answer.

The only reason why the chicken-and-egg problem exist is that people is trying very hard to deny God.

Virgin Birth and Surrogate Mum

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35 KJV)

overshadow (ἐπισκιάζω)
to cast a shade upon, that is, (by analogy) to envelop in a haze of brilliancy; figuratively to invest with preternatural influence: - overshadow.

Jesus was the "Seed of a Woman" (Genesis 3:15).

I'm sorry, I can't be perfect, but I expect you to be

The problem of being good is that it lifts you up and put others down. Every Christian should be careful when they are good. It is their weakest moment when pride puffs up and judges their weaker brother.

Assurance

Our assurance - God is faithful

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:9 KJV)

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV)

Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24 KJV)

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. (Romans 8:30 KJV)

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: (Philippians 1:6 KJV)
