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 Continue reading
I cannot tell you how very disappointed I’ve been with church leaders in recent days. The so-called “pandemic” has revealed some very interesting things about our lack of understanding of the Biblical principles of civil government. This is not to say that, in the beginning of it back in March, there was not the need for caution. There certainly was; since we didn’t know what we were dealing with. But the way church leadership just bowed down to the so-called “medical experts” and were willing to stop most ministry just because some governor said they had to, reveals a tremendous lack of understanding as to how Communists, and the many groups which work with them, work to take over free nations. This lack of understanding is far more scary than the virus. It shows that we’ve let our minds be shaped by socialist ideas: That we haven’t known that Karl Marx, the father of Communism, stated that his whole aim in establishing worldwide communism was for the purpose of destroying Christianity. What kind of ignorance does this reveal in us who lead the church? Remember the Bible says,
Liberty or Security? Which is most important in the long run? It is impossible to have 100% of both liberty and security in this natural world. Liberty, of necessity, must involve some risks. The major one is that you have to trust your neighbor to respect your God-given rights of life, liberty, and ownership of property. Likewise, your neighbor must be able to trust you in the same way. This is why our Founders warned us that we couldn’t maintain this Republic, with its great amount of liberty for the individual, without most of our people knowing the religion of Jesus Christ in the pure way that Jesus gave it. If I know that I will “reap what I sow”, both in this world, and in the world to come (Galatians 6:7), I have a strong reason to respect your rights; knowing that God Himself is judging me in my actions. If I’ve had those truths hidden from me both in the home and the school, then I don’t know that I will surely “reap what I’m now sowing”; thus, I have no deterrent to my own selfish desires, leaving your rights at risk.
