Volunteers

            “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves…Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.”
            This message of Paul to the Christians of Rome makes me wonder where America’s Founding Fathers stood with God. We call Washington, Adams and Jefferson heroes. The case can also be made that they were nothing more than rebels kicking against the rule of Parliament and the king. (Which is exactly the case that would have been brought against them at trial had it come to that.) However, it seems to be the consensus today’s Christians, as it was among the Founding Fathers, that Parliament no longer represented them or their interests. If that is just grounds for revolution, it is time Christians examine their blind allegiance to the government in Washington. The republic to which we once pledged that allegiance, clearly, no longer represents us.
            The time is passed for any sort of Christian political activism. Our system of courts ruled by the law of cultural correctness has negated that opportunity. It is time to come out from among them and be separate. A spiritual, financial, and cultural secession is needed. Step into the ark and shut the door. Let the government fill its coffers and its military gristmill from the ranks of the worldly, the illegals and the downtrodden it loves so much. America needs the message seen on church signs everywhere—get right or get left.
