We live in world that is losing sight of our Savior. Powerful governments like that of Communist China directly oppose the spread of the Gospel. Our own government runs secularized schools and teaches multiculturalism, which says that all faiths are equally valid and true. By implication, that means that no faith is valid and true. Our mass media is mostly godless. Our great corporations think only of profits.

So, what should we do? We can begin with prayer.

Here is an interesting blog post that provides some informative links. I think the following observations need to be added, however.

1. The Declaration of Independence is our nation’s founding document. This document explains why it necessary for to have a government. Unless we read The Declaration of Independence and documents like The Federalist Papers, we cannot understand the Constitution as well as we need to understand it. We won’t understand the purpose the Constitution is supposed to serve. The Preamble does not come close to providing an adequate explanation. The Preamble was not supposed to do that.

2. We need to examine why we are failing to provide our children an adequate civics education. The answer, I think, is that we expected government-run schools to educate our children, and education is a task for which the government is ill suited. What is the problem? Whenever we delegate the task of education to the government, we give those with an axe to grind the opportunity to foist their beliefs upon other people using other people’s money. Hence, we should only allow the government to educate people when government is the only practical alternative. For example, when we need trained soldiers, we need to let our military services do their job and keep extraneous ideologies, CRT and the transgender nonsense out of it.

3. Who should be providing instruction in civics? That is something for free enterprise to resolve. That is, the real issue is who decides who teaches our children. Currently, politicians largely decide who teach our children in K – 12, and they also provide much of the funding for our colleges and universities. Unfortunately, we have allowed our political leaders to foul up our education system with political strife. We are not supposed to use our government to force our beliefs upon each other, but that is what happens when we put our government in charge of our education system. Therefore, we need to put parents need to be put back in charge. WE NEED SCHOOL CHOICE!

4. Are you a parent? If you want your children to grow up to be good citizens, then you need to take charge of both their religious education and their civics education. Does that sound like an odd juxtaposition? What does religious education have to do with civics? Well, look at the Bible. The Bible is the story of how Jesus redeemed us, but much of that involves the story of how Israel governed itself. Even the New Testament involves government. Jesus, for example, was executed by soldiers, not a mob. Jesus is our King. If we wish to be good citizens in His Kingdom, then we must learn how we are supposed to relate to each other and to Him.

Jesus is God. The Great Commandment calls upon us to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. God is our King.

Our neighbors are not God, but God commands us to love our neighbors as we love our self. Like our self, our neighbors belong to God, and He is their master. Therefore, we need a government to protect each other from each other, and that is what our Constitution was designed to do.

I have been hearing about the Pediatric Transgender Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashvilleon the radio. Even so, the video remained a shocker. What the people running Vanderbilt University Medical Center are doing is child abuse, and they are doing it for money.

Furthermore, the damage done by the people running Vanderbilt University Medical Center and other such unethical institutions extends well beyond the harm they are doing to confused children.
– They are raising the cost of health care by using the government to force insurance institutions to cover the cost of their child abuse. There is no need to cover cosmetic surgery with insurance.
– They are trying corrupt that part of the medical staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center that wants nothing to do with child abuse.
– They are undermining the public’s trust in the medical establishment. When doctors at what should be a respected institution are so obviously just in it for the money, why would anyone trust doctors? Who in his right mind would trust people who abuse children to provide medical care for themselves or their family?

This is a strip I read on a regular basis. Why? Well, it is extremely funny.
