The greatest threats to liberty today come from so-called “Progressive Christians” and their Leftist buddies.
They reject Scripture as God’s written Word, with plenary authority over all it addresses, including limits on human authoritarianism.
Instead, they want government – in the name of a false Christ created in their own image – to impose their own existential, authoritarian ideologies of control and coercion on everyone else.
Biblical Christians, in contrast, take seriously our personal, God-given obligation of individual responsibility for our own wellbeing …
And our personal, God-given (not bureaucratic driven) obligation to care for one another and be our brother’s keeper.
For these reasons, we must stand firm in answering to God for our own obligations, and not to “progressive Christians” …
Who want to use ever-expanding government spending and power to foist their own statist notions of those obligations and how to fulfill them – however well-sounding – on everyone else.
Fundamentally, God delegates to government the duty to protect us …
Rather than “fix” us by compelling everyone to comply with some so-called “progressive,” authoritarian notion of what is “good” and “right.”
Even God doesn’t ask the State to usurp our individual obligations to provide for our own wellbeing and help those who can’t …
And there is not a single passage in all of Scripture which assigns to civil government – by precept or by example – the overall societal obligation for us as individuals, families and communities of faith to be charitable and care for one another.
Nope, not, nada …
Just ain’t there.
So who do these repressive “progressive Christians” think they are?
Their oppressive agenda of ever-expanding State authority is a threat to all who stand for eternal, Biblical precepts …
Like ensuring authentic civil liberty, and authentic charity, through our God-ordained right to pursue what is true and virtuous – free of oppressive government bureaucratic inefficiency, control and coercion.
You can either answer to God, or you can answer to these new legalists who seek State power to become the new enforcers of their own rudderless, humanistic sensibilities.
It’s your choice …
Which is why elections matter.
