Plumbline Faith

Repressive “Progressives” and other cultural marxists feign surprise when their ideologies of victimhood and entitlement …

Destroy personal responsibility and economic opportunity.

This then leads to big-government cronyism, with them at the helm …

Which allows them to peddle even more victimhood and entitlement to the very people they harmed.

And so the downward spiral continues …

At everyone else’s expense.

I’ve seen – up close and personal – their bitter fruit as I’ve gone where others fear to tread in fulfillment of the Great Commission …

In homeless encampments, jails, crime infested housing projects, fatherless wastelands of subsidized poverty in the ‘hood, and other dysfunctional communities of dependency beyond the fringes of “polite” society.

While there, I saw God redeem lives.

But I also saw the stark reality of ignoring a fundamental Biblical principle, mainly:

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3

It’s time for those of true compassion to rebuild our nation’s foundations by breaking the repressive “progressive” cycle of despair …

And restore the hard dignity of Godly cultural precepts – like local community accountability, strong nuclear families, prioritized self government, responsible personal benevolence, and the moral imperatives of individual culpability – in our society once again.

Anything less will continue to destroy lives and the very fabric of our nation.

​

The law may not make anyone moral …

But I’m sure glad it can protect us from their immorality.

That’s why I won’t vote for candidates who think they can pass laws that will make people good …

Because that’s God’s job, and it never turns out well when governments try to usurp His authority.

But I will vote for those committed to passing laws that protect what’s good and our right to do what’s good …

Just like God intended.

Big difference!

Seeking the favor of power by laying aside our Godly values …

Rather than making those in power seek the favor of our Godly values …

Seldom turns out well.

Western culture blossomed under the Biblical notion that the State should protect our liberty to pursue virtue …

And restrain evil from taking the rewards of that virtue from us.

It then deteriorated under the post-modern notion that the State should promote autonomy from virtue …

And force the virtuous to subsidize the consequences of that autonomy.

May righteous people return to our foundations …

For the blessing of all.

When we lose the capacity for shame …

Self government is impossible and tyranny inevitable.
