I would never try to make God’s Word an evolving document. I change; it does not! I adapt to it; it does not adapt to me! My views have to be molded to come into harmony with it; it does not come into harmony with my views.
For the liberal, progressive, and socialist on the left to claim that the Constitution is a living and evolving document that changes with time and attitudes is ludicrous. The founders worked and prayed long and hard to develop a document that would stand the test of time and provide unique protection for “individual rights and liberties” to restrict the federal government from becoming too strong, too large, and in control of our lives and pursuits.
They diligently worked to give the states autonomy and provide a link through the federal government that would provide for the national defense and promote the general welfare (not to be understood as our entitlement mentality of today) of the people.
They instituted a difficult process by which the document could be amended to fit the people’s desires rather than giving the courts or politicians the ability to arbitrarily rewrite it without ratification by the people. This was designed to require more than a simple majority but three-fourths of the states to ratify before it could become valid.
Today, we have courts going far beyond the founder’s vision in their interpretation of constitutional issues. Today, we have a President using federal agencies to bypass Congress and the Constitution. For the most part, we have a Congress sitting on their hands and letting him do whatever he pleases.
If we are going to gain God’s favor, we must return to Him. If we are going to regain control of our legislative, executive, and judicial branches, we must stand firm in the coming election and every election after that to root out those who do not follow the rule of law and the constitution, as well as those who become entrenched in professional politics. We must replace them with people who will follow the Constitution and realize they are “public servants,” not “public masters.”
I don’t care what party they are in. If they follow the Constitution, partisanship will die, and the framers’ desire for the nation and the desire of the present-day American people will become a reality. So, we have to get their attention; the only real way to do that is at the ballot box.
We have the opportunity each November to send a message to Washington and the world that Americans are serious about regaining control of their country and their liberties. We can put them on notice that We Choose to Remain Free!
May God bless you and America, too!
