It is not the form of government that is to be revered or feared… it is its administration.  Scripture teaches us that when the Righteous Rule the people prosper and are freest. However, when evil sits in the citadels of power the people suffer violence and poverty… Every evil work abounds.

It is God’s Natural law… that drives the engine of liberty and secures our personal freedom … It is not the arbitrary and pernicious laws of mankind that keep us free.   God endowed mankind with the innate ability to define good and evil; too, chose his path in life, whether it be good or evil.  The whole of Creation knows that Love does no harm and is the cornerstone of God’s Natural Law.  If government is not administered and regulated by LOVE it soon becomes a terror to those governed...  Who among us does not know that a people who refuse to govern based on God’s natural law are in serious trouble?

Jesus teaches us that we are to render unto God that which is God’s and unto man/Caesar that which is man’s… kind for kind.  God expects government to temper its administration with the Natural Law of God.  However, the wicked seek to yoke their neighbor with the chains of man’s arbitrary and often pernicious Laws.  Capitalism and Communism… Monarchy or Democracy… they all become despotic forms of government over time… This is especially true where God’s Natural Law is not applied in the community of those governed.  The people, the individual, ultimately establish governments that reflect the character of their society.

It is the outlaw… those who refuse to voluntarily restrain their conduct; too, deny their untoward desires in life.  The individual who expects the government to restrain their wanton and feckless personal conduct will soon find his life bound by the dictates of depots.  We are warned to train up a child in the way they should go… in righteousness… in the laws of Nature’s God... God’s natural state of goodness.  Failure to harness one’s flesh with the Judeo/Christian ethic… codified for the administration of a righteous government … leads to serious moral decay and oppressive government. Governments are established to control the unrestrained exercise of the wicked individual. A People who have not inculcated limits of conduct for life, end up creating governments that regulate ALL their wants, needs, and life’s expectations… despotic government.

So it is today… we live in a once proud and righteous nation that has lost its way …a nation, whose government and social order are controlled by the wicked and morally corrupt.  The People have forgotten who they are and what they are.  They have left the guideposts of the righteous, the ‘natural law’, for the arbitrary and decadent administration of mankind's dark side. They refuse personal accountability to God and others… saying, we will not be denied our personal desires and wicked conduct.

Governments… all governments ultimately reflect the character of the individuals governed… Where the despot governs evil prospers, and where the righteous govern peace and prosperity flourish.   It is not the form of government that we should fear, it is the ADMINISTRATION of government that dictates if those governed will eat of the fruit of righteousness or live under the rule of tyrants.  Government is the sum of a nation’s will to keep God’s commandments or to suffer from rebellion.  History records mankind’s penchant for self-destruction.  Volumes annotate the journey of mankind, it is written in the blood of their children and the tears of lost generations...

    • "The effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much... " James 5:16

      Thank you Robert for your wonderful prayer... may it inspire others to pray and encourage a neighbor to  join them.  May the nation find its way to the alters of America and pray for our nation's recovery and revival... Amen.

  •  Another very good post COL, If only we the people could grasp the substance of these comments and apply it our nation would be far better off. Our government is supposed to be for the people, By the people, Our founding fathers unerstood these facts, But somewhere in our journey as a nation we have lost our way. giving those we elect far more authority than they are supposed to have. The problem we have now HOW DO WE AS A NATION TAKE BACK THAT POWEWR AND AUTHORITY THAT WE ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE? As a CHRISTIAN MAN, I truly believe that a nation that lives under the WILL OF GOD WILL BE A NATION THAT SURVIVES. 

  • What then will this generation do... will the people water their garden with the tears of lost hope or shed the blood of the patriot once more?  A nation can survive its fools but treason is a most foul poison, it eats away at the very soul of nations... We must weed our fields of the enemy's seed before they choke out the remaining fruit of liberty and destroy our garden of peace.

    • Loud and  clear Col. !!

  • Bump, bump, bumpity bump... so goes the days of man... one trial after another, one challenge begets the next... all seems lost and senseless without God there is no order, no rational reason... for mankind's journey.   Wake up, the train is leaving the station and God is on board, are you?  The signs of the times and te end are everywhere... even nature travails in expectation of the returning Lord and the end to sins' destruction.

    Be of good cheer for these times must come that man's sinful ways may be fully revealed unto all of creation... exposing the fallacy of those who oppose our Creator... whose life of rebellion destroyed paradise and now its remanent at long last shall also be removed..  Take hold of God's hand while it remains extended, repent, and put your faith in God and the coming storms will not overtake thee, nor the flames of destruction kindle upon you, and the waters of adversity shall not overtake you.  Amen.

    • 🙏🏼🙏🏼 indeed, AMEN.

  • Amen, USA4ME 

    God's plan for mankind is simple... it can be summed up in these few words:

    Ecclesiastes 12:13: "When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man."

    Even a Democrat can understand what God requires of mankind... However, one must first believe there is a God, and therein is the problem.  Democrats believe they are God. , as their father Lucifer told Eve in the Garden:  “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her. 5“For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Gen 3: 4-5…Eve wanted to be God, knowing good from evil ... However, she got derailed on the way to the spa and landed in a pile of dung, and thinking it good she set up house there, and voila ... we know why everything man touches turns to SHITE...

    Eve desired to be a God, as god... defining good from evil and establishing the terms for life on Earth.  Sounds reasonable, like something many women want, even to this day.  From the beginning to this day, mankind covets God's place at the head of the table.  Mankind wants to dictate the terms of his life as the God of this world.  Desiring to be God ... the Democrats have become gods unto themselves... Creating a fantasy world, as proof of their diety they quickly redefine nature and what is acceptable conduct, only to find that Nature knows the difference between shite and truth.  In the Democrat's world, the Creator and His laws become obsolete and God's Children are declared deviant and sinful.... up is down, and down is up, just ask Pres. Biden in one of his more sentient moments

    Strong's Hebrew: 3808. לֹא (lo) -- not
    • I have not witnessed any of old Joe's "sentient moments"; are you certain he has ever had any??

    • Two important lessons to be learned from the above:

      1,  Never, never set up house in a pile of dung.

      2.  Never go to the Spa without first consulting a map... and if along the way you should smell something like a Democrat or Congress... don't stop and never set up house in that location.

      JUST KIDDING.. a little levity for the oppressed...
