  • Free Speech

    “And the reason it matters, we know God’s ways work. So we’re looking, going, man, our Constitution is so successful. Why, how?

    It’s been influenced by the Bible more than anything else. But then to your point, the second thing, Dad, is there’s a lot of people that today might argue we’re in a constitutional crisis. I think Charlie Kirk, right?

    Even in some of his interviews, people might have seen videos over the last week or so. He talked about this, where he says, you know, people say we’re in a constitutional crisis. The problem is not the constitution.

    The problem is the people. Why? Because, Dad, to your point, the really famous John Adams quote, it was in a letter written to the militia of Massachusetts in 1798.

    And he said, our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It’s wholly inadequate to the government of any other. Our constitution doesn’t work for people that don’t have a religious and moral foundation because our constitution was built on giving freedom to people.

    But when you have freedom to immoral people, they do immoral things, which is what has filled our newsfeed over the last several[…]”

    If you can click the link, this is a great explanation why the “free speech” argument rings hollow when it comes to people being held accountable for publicly celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. It’s not godly to celebrate a man being shot and killed for having controversial (biblical) views. In fact it’s evil to do such a thing.

    Free speech works if the people are able to practice self-restraint that is brought about by biblical values. If the people don’t subscribe to the biblical morals and worldview that the Founding Fathers had, then the Constitution is not going to work, and America will become like the other nations of world.

    America is a great country only because of the biblical foundation on which it was founded on. I hope that it continues for another 250 years.

    I encourage you to listen to the whole episode. (The link to the podcast is at the end of the quote.)

  • The Daily Prompt – No. 243

    Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

    The holiday that I would love to see celebrated in these United States is Constitution Day on September 17th. This would commemorate the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, which was made official by the delegation from Delaware.

    There are have been resolutions to make this an official holiday, but it has not been really enforced. It’s important to remember where we came from as country. Originally this country was composed as 13 colonies under British governance.

    The abuses and violations that were suffered by the colonialists created the atmosphere in which the Founding Fathers determined that their lives would be better under a new authority. Self-rule as determined by the citizens. It was an experiment in governance unlike the world had ever seen. This was an exercise given by Providence to get them to that point.

    The holiday would commemorate the struggle that ensued after the Declaration of Independence. It was not a fait accompli that the British would give up their power and the resources of North America willingly to the upstart colonialists. Victory was achieved by Providence over a long, hard War for Independence over 7 years that cost many their lives, fortune, and sacred honor.

    It would behoove us now as citizens living under the decisions made by those brave souls to break from the greatest power in the world and to form a new nation. It was not perfect after the debacle of the Articles of Confederation. The founders humbled themselves under God to get through the disagreements and conflicts that arose in creating this new nation. Everything could have been lost, and the nation could have been balkanized. However, a constitutional republic arose with God’s guidance and thankfully it is still in its 237th year in existence.

    No other nation has enjoyed the stability and prosperity provided by this founding document. We should take the time to honor it and continue to do what we can remember the struggle in creating the government as dictated by our constitution and preserve it for the next generation.

    PS: I forgot to mention how we should celebrate it. It should be like Independence Day with American paraphernalia displayed everywhere. It would be a time of rejoicing! The constitution should be read in all the capitals of the United States if not in every town or city.

    *Yes. It is No. 243. It appears that I skipped that number while I was doing my daily prompts over the week. It is not in sequential order, and I hope that the reader can forgive me.
