Reflections on Liberty

GUN CONTROL OR PEOPLE CONTROL?

It is crunch time and we must be active.  Though I’m tired of dealing with this and you are probably tired of reading about it, we must work harder the next few days.  We can win this.  Here is the short version.

A cynical and ghoulish Senator Feinstein had her bill ready for a year while she waited for some crazy person to commit an atrocity.  Her bill and all the others (including the “compromise”) would not have stopped any of the recent mass shootings.  THOSE LAWS TARGET HONEST PEOPLE.

We must not let Congress operate this way.  They must stop this reactionary, useless action, response that targets honest citizens, and begin to deal with real causes and criminals.  Today they are targeting honest gun owners; tomorrow it will be faith groups, churches, businesses, you name it!  WE MUST NOT STAND FOR IT!

Below are the phone numbers for our Indiana Senators.  Call them today and everyday till this threat to American Civilization is over.  Tell them you are tired of being targeted by Congress.   It takes only a couple minutes.  You owe it to your kids.  I’ve also included a notice from the NRA on the recent “compromise”.  LET’S ROLL!

Senator Coats: 202-224-5623       Senator Donnelly: 202-224-4814

Yesterday marked the unveiling of a “deal” in the Senate to expand background checks for commercial gun purchases. …, it is vital that you remain informed of NRA’s stance on topics such as this. Frequent www.NRAILA.org to stay up to date on the latest news, straight from NRA.

Armor For The Battle

Anyone who pays even a little attention to the news and has Christian values has no doubt suffered from confusion, frustration, isolation and anger the past several weeks.  Our Country has rapidly picked up many of the earmarks of a culture in decline.  If you think things are going along well, then this tome is not for you.  You can go back to reading Joe Biden’s Big Book of Self-Defense.  If you have been troubled, here are some helpful tips.

How to conquer in a culture of corruption:

Understand you are not alone.  There are a lot of us out here who feel the same way.  Remember that the Bible tells us that Job was vexed by his ungodly neighbors.

Realize it is OK to be stressed out when you have legitimate concerns for yourself, your children or grand-kids and the type of country they will inherit.  (See Job once again.)

Take care of your family.  Love them, nurture them, and teach them.  It is your responsibility, and you cannot expect any help from the schools or the surrounding culture.  That is probably the way God intended it anyway.  Make a difference for them!

Be personally committed to the Lord and to following Him in righteousness and holiness.  You must focus on this and make it your goal.  As in the above, you will not receive help or support from the culture, quite the contrary.

Be engaged and involved.  Support groups that promote godliness, Christ-like principles, and protect our Constitution.  We must stick together, and we must confront our culture.  When our Constitution is gutted, we will have no legal protection.  Do not think you can hide.  You can still make a difference.

Be purposeful and intentional in reaching your neighbors.  “Be ready always…,” the Bible says.  Ministry is not a group activity or a meeting. It is your individual responsibility and duty.  If it were illegal for Christians to meet, we could still share the gospel.  Actually, those circumstances have produced the strongest believers and churches.  Yes, ponder that, a strong church that cannot have a meeting.

Lastly, remember that culture cannot redefine truth.  Our culture’s weak and feeble attempts to reshape the world into its own image will not stand the test of time or the Judgment Seat of Christ.  Stay faithful in trials; the Lord has a crown for those who do.
