They Did It!!!

This post is a little overdue, because it came in an email and I lost it!!! But here it is!!!

They did it! Congress read the WHOLE Constitution.
Dear Friends,

You won't hear about this on the news but this is a really BIG deal. Congress read the Constitution out loud for the FIRST TIME since the 18th Century. And even more - they included the critical Preamble to the Bill of Rights!

For over 30 years, we have battled on this field for a return to the Declaration, the Constitution, and the principles upon which they stand. This is a moment of real VICTORY!

Sure, 80% of the Congress (Democrats and Republicans) did not bother to show up for this historic moment. That's another story altogether and we will get to that - but for the moment - TWO major victories today. The first is they read the Constitution and the second is they included the important language of the Bill of Rights.

Because of your constant prayers and financial support, this work continues. Thank you.

God and Government - Family Government

• The first governing institution was the family. God emphasized it by putting them over all of creation.
• Self government is developed in the home by the father and mother (the family). Some influences that destroy this training ground of self government are divorce, etc.
  
• The result of poor family government is wicked sinful children: those who are shameful to their parents and an abomination to the Lord.
• If a person can govern himself well he can in turn govern his family well. If he can both himself AND his family well he may lead and govern in the church and civil institutions.
• Family government is where our Godly leaders are trained. If it functions well our Godly leaders are trained well.
• Through the family we learn of of authority and submission: Children to the parents, wife to the husband, husband to the Lord.

God and Government - Self Government

• The first principle of a governmental system is self government. Self government relies on wisdom and the Fear of the Lord. For the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
• The motivation for self government begins in the knowledge that we are here to do the Lord's work. This in turn requires discipline.
• Our hearts are naturally wicked and all that proceeds from it id evil, but for the mercy of God.
• By being reborn and recreated by the One True God, only then are we able to self -govern ourselves.'
• We need less state government when everyone has self government.
• Self government leads to wisdom of speech. If you govern your mouth well you prove you have control of yourself.
