A Victory For Who?

Who really wins with this Presidential victory? Have the people won? Once again we have taken the bait of utopian rhetoric from both sides, deviating from reason, spiritual principle, discipline, Constitutional law, replacing our self-sufficiency as sovereign individuals with dependence on government to meet our every need. What happened to our national pride? What happened to our sense of history? Oh, I forgot. Times have changed. The Constitution is ancient history. It's no longer relevant. 
     God kept telling his people to "Remember..." Retain your sense of history, because this is where your true prosperity lies - spiritually, economically, educationally. We've abandoned it and settled for a counterfeit national "pride"; and for my people, a counterfeit "black pride", one fostered by an unbalanced sense of entitlement. "The world owes me everything." Our politicians and our preachers have been spoon-feeding it to us for years. We're getting what we asked for. But I'm afraid we're going to lose much more in our personal liberties than we gain in our appetites. It's those who are trying to live right who will suffer the most.
     No, this is no victory. There's a storm-a-coming.

  1. Why do we feel the Constitution is no longer relevant?

  2. I think we feel (many people, that is) the Constitution is no longer relevant because as times change and human beings change, principle changes with it. It's a mistake to believe that. Sound principle, the type of principle that brings order, especially ordered freedom, to a society never changes. God is a God of order and not of confusion. He never changes, therefore the principles He has established for our nation in the bible, our spiritual law, and the Constitution, our national law, do not change. It's written in terms we do not understand today. This does not make it irrelevant. It means we have to engage ourselves to study and interpret it carefully. But we haven't been encouraged to do so.

  4. This is a good post. It is concise and points to deficiencies in our knowledge of history. THanks.
