How long?

Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

The Federal and district justices in our court systems have gotten so far out of hand over the last forty years, that they believe themselves to be not only invincible, but infallible. Facts and logic are irrelevant. The courts have spoken. So let it be written, so let it be done.


They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

According to our courts, we must be so tolerant of others that if our own inheritance is ignored, that's a sacrifice we must make on the alter of First Amendmentism. The Ten Commandments are the foundational statements of our laws, yet at the risk of offending a few, they must disappear.
More importantly, hedonism has replaced the value of life.
Roe vs. Wade and similar decisions have effectively opened the door for society to errase so much potential.

Weeping seems to be the appropriate thing to do when I reflect that each of the tiny lives destroyed were not mere babies that smile and gurgle and mess and cry. They would have gone through the process of life. They would have grown up to affect other lives, and be affected by the lives around them.

What have we missed?

Now, not only are the lives of the unborn under constant fire, but the lives of the mentally incompent right along with them. Not only does the court assert the right to say how you can live and precisely when you are alive, but they can now dictate when life is ended.

If the courts can dictate when life begins, why shouldn't it be able to tell you how to live, what constitutes a quality life, and when your life is over?


How much longer will we put up with this treatment in a government that was instituted by the people, for the people, and of the people?


We do not live under the rule of a tyrant, but we behave like we do.

Or perhaps we are merely so complacent and comfortable in our own comfort zones that anything outside our little bubble doesn't bother us.

See, hear, and speak no evil?
As Christians, how should we respond? Sure it's easy to keep our heads in the sand and mutter about church activities, school, and the price of gasoline. We are, after all, not citizens of this earth, but of a heavenly kingdom.

Yet our purpose on this earth is not to merely wait to be taken home. Our purpose is to present Christ to others so that those others can come home with us.

How do we present Christ to others when we permit those same others to be effectively murdered before they even have a chance at life?

How long?

For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
