The question I face is this…. Should a Pastor be so involved in this political debate? Won’t it harm the church to be outspoken? How can I be so adamant on the second amendment? What is all this talk of liberty and suppression.
I guess you would have to back up and ask people like Dietrich Bon Hoffer, or Corrie ten Boom to find the answer. One paid with his life and the other spent hers continuing to work for the causes of liberty, justice and equality. Neither stopped at the threshold of public opinion to consider their personal outcomes.
In short, but with unwavering certainty I am happy to give answer to these questions. First of all I would question whether this is a political issue or a humanitarian one, that aside; whenever you decide to take action, one has to also weigh the cost of inaction. Turning a blind eye to obvious tyranny has never ended well. For a more complete answer to grevious oversteps of government oppression I would point you to a very large autograph of John Hancock and his musings on religious liberty based largely upon writings by Roger Williams and his fight for “liberty of conscience”
I speak out today on the second amendment right to keep and bear arms because history has proven this to be a necessary implement of liberty and justice for as far back as you care to look. Ask the citizens of Ukraine! It was not put in place to protect your right to hunt. As Kyle Rittenhouse has just proved, it is there to protect your right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
My free and unfettered speech in the pulpit is ensured in my first amendment rights. In case law the church stands a greater sovereign than the state because of it.
What most miss is without the second amendment, the other nine become meaningless jargon to be disregarded and subservient to political whims of the day… I’ll keep my guns thank you!
I speak out today against an alleged bio weapon unabashedly labeled a vaccine, due to a very strong doctrine in the Christian faith concerning bodily autonomy, the temple of God and the believers allegiance to Holy Writ.
Turns out the dissenters were not foil hatted conspiracy theorist, but God fearing Patriots with their eyes wide open. One by one the drive by media has had to back up on its conspiracy allegations and begin to report the truth. We were being gaslighted, lied to and set up for Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forums “Great Reset”.
We must understand the liberty, freedom and justice in our founding documents were birthed through generations of religious persecution. This is not a new crossroads whatsoever. Our governmental documents were formed in the fire of affliction. We are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights… among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…. Divinely given and guaranteed by the Almighty. Inate within the Human existence. As a result, a highly limited and restrained republic was set up in 1776. It produced the greatest country ever on the face of the earth. That country now stands in Jeopardy. Full Stop. Fact.
Rugged individualism is a gift of God formed and fashioned after His likeness and image. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty! We best not discount that any time soon.
No matter how the enemy’s of God try to cloud it, this nation at its inception was for the glory and purpose of Jesus Christ, the Gospel and His Kingdom! Get a copy of the Mayflower Compact and read it for yourself. The so-called separation of church and state was put into place to stop governmental control of the church. It was never meant to stop the churches influence in government.
With more than a little help from Lyndon Johnson and his 501(c)3 corporation, the church’s voice has been silenced so long that its membership believes it the normal, expected and theologically correct path…Go lay by your dish and be quiet Pastor!
The right to decide what goes into my body is mine and mine alone. It does not involve Bill Gates, Big Tech, Big Pharma or the Rothschild dynasty. George Soros has no say In my decisions. It does not matter if it’s medicine or orange juice… it’s my call… 535 people in Washington on both sides of the isle have zero to say about the ecclesiastical workings of the body of Christ… did you know such is law, and not rhetoric? Our Supreme Court has ruled ones conscience is in fact an extension of their religion and as such is protected by the First Amendment. There is a threshold they cannot step over. Yet preachers across the land seem to have contracted laryngitis as they refuse to address current issues for fear of losing their tax exempt status.
As soon as we crossed that line of demarcation, as soon as we were invaded by those elected to represent us, we entered into medical malpractice, medical discrimination, and medical rape. They became Tyrants and Despots instead of Leaders of a free people.
Our hospitals and the media became complicit in the murder of a great percentage of covid morbidities at the bequest and direction of Anthony Fauci. Over 800,000 lives could have been saved with early treatment like Ivemectin and other anti-viral drugs. Fauci opened the door to a myriad of crimes against humanity which may ultimately end with blood in the streets and civil war. We demand justice and accountability. One can vote their way into socialism but your children will have to shoot their way out of it.
Far better is it in my opinion to fight with verbal ammunition in the public arena, and rally a free people to action, to recalls, to the voting booth than to ignight the fires of Gettysburg and Shiloh, and watch Altlanta burn. “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”… (Edmund Burke/JFK )The answer will forever be personal involvement in the process. Good government begins on your front porch.
To be sure, the stage has been set up for this show a very long time. The general public has been gaslighted into compliance and successfully set at odds with each other through political means. A house divided will not stand. An insurrection against tyranny that has not been seen since the day my father enlisted after Pearl Harbor is on the horizon…. or the sunset of American liberty is eminent.
The outcome of which will either fundamentally reestablish my right to stand at the pulpit and proclaim truth or it will silence my voice in favor of political correctness forever. I cannot stand by and watch the thread of liberty upon which this great nation is hanging be cut.
Either the church realizes that it is for such a time as this we have been ushered into the kingdom or we shy from duty and spend our latter years on our front porch explaining to our grandchildren what it was once like to be free.
As for me and my house… our level of engagement is vocal and unconquerable. I will not stand idly by and watch. What would Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, or Ezekiel do? What did John the Baptist do? It could be argued that which hung Jesus Christ on the cross was His mouth. He was unafraid to lift up his voice. He was evermore tied to unshakable truth.
Every generation faces its test, but the report card in not issued for decades to come. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I must rise to the moment and declare the liberty of conscience contained in that book I live by.
I will stand against the corporation I work for when it veers from its legal and moral foundations. I gladly sacrificed my employment, my income and my comfortable life to retain my liberty of conscience and ability to exercise my religious freedom. It cost me $80,000 a year to write these words. Worth every penny if it calls a populace to action or wakes another sleeping soul. Until you have stood for what your very soul believes at great personal cost, you‘ve no right to call out or question someone that has.
On October 31, 1517 a Catholic Theologian by the name of Martin Luther took hammer and nail, fastening his “95 These” to the chapel door at the University of Wittenberg. It cost him everything yet firmly entrenched that the just shall live by faith in every corridor of theological thought today. He said “I can do no other, God help me!”
Winston Churchill said in the face of Nazi aggression, “Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and Commonwealth should last 1000 years, men will still say that this was her finest hour.
The battle to fight is the one from which you cannot turn. The hill to die on is the one which you cannot live without.
Mr President, Members of our Congress and Senate, the church stays vocal and open! Your unconstitutional And tyrannical edicts have no power over us! “We the people” are forever free. One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Understand that, or you’re fired!
