Brother Kenneth @CopelandNetwork advises you to #Settle Things as 'Fact' (without Doubt nor Question) #Settleit #SettleDown #Settling #Settles #Settler #SettleWith

That's what "Faith" is ... not the dictionary-definition that atheists-etc. are always positing as "Christians' absent-minded belief-mechanism" (thinking that something is true without seeing or hearing (or otherwise sensing) any proof), but it's 'taking "an information source" (usually a person, extending to any media they put their name-on) as absolutely-truthful.'

Christians do this with The Bible ... usually due to the fact that their parents tell them it's true, compounded by most of their baby-sitters, teachers, relatives, friends, classmates, co-workers etc. all affirming the truths they find in that book.

On top of the various things The Bible teaches–things you have to 'settle' in your mind, like 'there is One God who creates the Heavens & the Earth, who has One Son in whose name All Humanity is blessed with the destiny of peace for eternity' etc.–you also have to 'settle' things in your personal life ... understandings about personal matters you have to 'settle' as true and not even bring them up again.

The word “Settle” is built on ancient words that mean “to |Sit” (see Seat, |Chair, Saddle).

I think of this when I see an ad (on Facebook's Instant Games) for a book encouraging readers to Save the World by Getting Married—I've only read the description Xulon Books gives, but it looks like author "Ordinary Brother" wants to tell us how marriage was once a well-protected fortress of solidarity in society, how people's sinful nature has eroded it into something more-like an a prison-sentence of instability, but how we can re-strengthen it with Biblical principles and make it the rock-steady foundation it once was.

And I'm thinking of this when I remember how married-life is often referred-to as "Settling Down." And though that commonly taken to mean 'the kind of "settle down" that parents tell their young children to do when they're too rowdy' (i.e. stop 'partying all night' & 'going to clubs every night' and 'lighting up the town' etc.), 'the way it ought to be taken' means "setting down steady in position, preparing to stay steady in the face of the oncoming winds & storms & dark forces etc."
