The Fruit Exposes the Root 1In Portland, Oregon, the riots, disguised as “free speech”, have reach the lowest degradation possible.  The left-wing looters have now burned our American Flag; and even WORSE, they have burned Bibles along with it!!  To any citizen who believes in any semblance of decency, it has to be obvious that these rioters are simply Communist pawns who are out to destroy this Republic and replace it with dictatorial government.  A government that is a true republic has to be based on the moral law of the Bible, which is summed up in the Ten Commandments.  A Communist-type government hates that law, because God’s law insists that we treat our neighbor as one who is created in the image of God.  Hence our Declaration of Independence states,

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness…” (emphasis added)

All dictatorial forms of government believe that man is the highest authority; that there is no God Who practically works “…in the affairs of men”, as Ben Franklin put it.  And the way Communist-type governments operate is that only a few men have the intelligence to be rulers:  Therefore, “the few should rule the many.”  This idea is the idea under which all worldly governments operate.  It was expressed by the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, when he wrote:

“…from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule.”

(Politics, A.D. 350)

In other words, the few should be god to the many.  Since man was made to worship God and be His vessel, if that truth is denied, they have to replace that desire for God, the Creator, with a different god.  This way of thinking always exalts government to the position of god, since government is the greatest man-operated power on earth.

The Fruit Exposes the Root 2Our Republic is based solidly on a Biblical foundation.  This is why the elitists hate it so much.  It is the main obstacle to their “one world” government which they hail as the answer to all man’s problems.  But only God, and His institutions, can help bring justice and compassion to the world.  This is why our Founders placed our governments squarely on Biblical principles.  Our Republic can only be restored by removing the mixture of “elitist ideas” that has infiltrated it over the last 100 years.  It was stated plainly by former President, Calvin Coolidge, when he said:

“The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.”

(The Rebirth of America, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, editor, pg. 37)

The Bible says,

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.  Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail…” (Psalm 9:17-19)

In this time, we must take a stand WITH GOD; and In OPPOSITION to THOSE WHO’VE SET THEMSELVES AGAINST GOD.  We can only reach them with the Gospel if we first declare the standard of God to them.  Law comes before Grace.  As the Bible states,

“…the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ…” (Galatians 3:24)

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.
