''While we rise up to stand boldly against the destruction of our laws, our culture and our Judeo-Christian foundations, let us begin with heart checks as to our own complicity by silence or weakness. Then we must humbly determine our willingness to give everything we have to reassert the only principles that have ever produced the blessings we enjoy.'' According to my worldview – which is based on the presupposition that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant and infallible word of God – there is a law of what we refer to as "sowing and reaping." Most people in this country have heard, "What you sow, that shall you reap," or the secularized version, "What goes around, comes around." The bottom line is that the principle cannot be avoided any more than the law of gravity.
As we witness an unbelievable level of breakdown in what we once called our justice system, it is time for some serious national soul searching – particularly by those called by God to shepherd His people.
Some of our most recent offenses:
In the new mode of granting civilian status and constitutional protection to terrorists a la 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the government of "We The People" continues to prosecute our bravest and best for simply doing their duty. Brave Navy SEALs are the latest to join the ranks with some of our Marines as targets of their own government. The SEAL's "crime"? An enemy butcher responsible for war crimes claims he was "punched."
Four police officers serving their city and the people are dead, murdered in Parkland, Wash. (south of Tacoma), at the evident hand of a criminal with a lengthy and violent rap sheet who should have been long behind bars, but was given clemency and a series of paroles.
Prosecuting CIA agents while giving a pass to subversive Islamic radical Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as he preyed upon our military.
Our Congress has elevated sexual depravity of unimaginable forms to protected status and plans to fund the legal murdering of unborn children with our tax dollars.
So, what is the connection – or is there one? Am I stretching things in claiming a connection? Possibly, but bear with me.
