Many of us have had our hopes dashed once again on the rocks of “Judicial Thievery”! We had hoped that the Supreme Court was moving back toward being a majority of judges who would let the Constitution rule as the highest law of the land. That Constitution allows for only the Congress to make law. Neither the Supreme Court, or the President was given that right. But far and away the Branch of Government that has most stolen the power of Congress in the last eighty years has been the Supreme Court; and the Congress has refused to stand up and rebuke the Court and deny them that theft. We’ve now seen again that Court operate in an illegitimate manner by ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County that the sex discrimination referred to in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 includes “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” (Not that, in reality, there is any such thing!). Nothing could have been further from the truth of what the Congress meant by the word “sex” in 1964. The law was primarily aimed at making certain the rights of Black Americans were protected, which were quite often ignored in those days—especially in pockets of the South. The word “sex” meant a male or female as determined by their sex organs at birth. But now the Supreme Court has said that the law meant one’s chosen sexual identity.
The implications of this ruling are devastating to our Constitutional system of government. Again, it sets up the Supreme Court, as the supreme law of the land. It further weakens the Congress. And it puts religious liberty at great risk. Will the religious institutions be forced to hire people caught up in the indefinite fog of “gender preference”? That’s the implication.
So—what do we do now? We stand up—especially Pastors and church leaders—and insist that our Congress start taking again their God-given power to make our laws! We insist that they take back the power which the Supreme Court and the Presidency has stolen from them. Quit looking to the Court to fix our crumbling foundations! Fixing our foundations is first the responsibility of the teaching institutions of the nation: The Home and the Church. But since the Church teaches the Home the ways of God, the Church is primarily responsible to fix our nation.
This all boils down to the question: “Who is the authority?” Is God the highest Authority; or is government the highest authority (which is the god of “statism”)? If God does exist, then He is the highest authority; and His Book, the Bible, is the place to find out the reason for, the structure of, and the spirit in which government is to operate, because if God is, that means His Word is COMPLETELY TRUE! As Jesus stated:
“…thy word is truth.” (John 17:17)
Our Founders believed this and built our government on this belief.
The church has fallen silent because seminaries have taught young church leaders that we are a “post-Christian society”; the implication being that because someone doesn’t know or believe in the Bible, we can’t use it to teach them just immediately. What foolishness! Since when does the power of the Scripture to impact someone depend on them believing it. The same is true of teaching the Biblical reason for, structure of, and operating spirit of civil government. If the Church doesn’t teach it, how will it ever be known? How can we ever restore God’s system of civil government; so that it can protect the right to share the Gospel of Christ in public?
So Christian leaders, learn the Biblical system of civil government right now; or learn it the hard way—in a prison camp. Teach it to Congress; or in the prison camp wish you had. Teach it to children, or watch them give liberty away; becoming slaves to satan through his socialism, like the “millennials” are now doing.
A better Supreme Court is not our governmental answer. A “valiant for truth” Congress and State Legislature is!
Think about it; because if you don’t, someone else will do your thinking for you—and for your children! And you won’t like what that brings to you. I’m Don Pinson; this has been Think About It.
