One of the core reasons, as well as evidence, as to why God’s hand was instrumental in the formation of the United States Constitution was because He knew the propensity that was in man to bend towards self-ambition, and/or ideologies that would quickly erode sound reasoning based upon divine guidance. Therefore, this would inevitably lead to neglecting ones conscience, which consequently includes neglect of duty. The duty that matters most is the duty of public office. Our generation of leaders are living proof of the godlessness that exists within the hearts of those who claim they serve us.

This concern is evident in beliefs that were forcibly expressed in a variety of ways by some of our Founding Fathers.

“Let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.â€

ARROGANCE OF POWER

Whether or not you believe in Him, God must be considered.

It would be good advice for a nation on the brink of destruction from within itself to reconsider its course and attitude towards God. Dealing with evil without acknowledging God is like playing football without a helmet. It is complete denial of compelling evidence, historical proof, as well as the testimony of our Founders who drafted our Constitution. Should one continue to engage in such a potentially harmful game of football without a helmet, not only will that individual suffer serious injury, but if such an idea remains unchallenged, eventually, a permanent injury such as a broken neck will occur, followed by the threat of paralysis or even death. Perhaps the comparison shines light on why so many of us seem unable to move in truth, and even worse, why some are just flat out unmoved because of injury we are therefore afraid to tackle that which is evil head on.

We can come to a resolve and adjust our ways through acknowledging our errors. However, unless we resolve that there is no compromising with truth we do so in vain. One truth we must accept is that arrogance is rooted in evil.

The Fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the forward mouth do I hate. -Proverbs 8:13

I have no time or desire to be philosophical regarding this issue. You either get it or don’t, you either will or you want. You are open to possibilities as to what is threatening our sovereignty as a nation, or you are convinced that the political process alone will fix this evil that is encroaching—or rather has encroached—upon America. Likewise, many religious people believe that prayer alone is going to supernaturally fix this diabolical scheme that is rooted in a darkness many of us would not believe currently exists within the corridors of the political process, and behind the pulpits of our day.

What God fearing, American loving citizens do within the coming hours and days will determine the course of the entire world. It used to be weeks and months. However, with the maturation of this current evil, we are way past that. Whether or not God has handed us over to the will of wicked men can be argued to no end. There are those who would suggest we subjugate ourselves to the bastards who seek to destroy our land, and simply wait for Judgment Day. You think I speak harshly when I call them bastards? Think again:

But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. -Hebrews 12: 8

These are not sons of liberty and freedom. They are imposters whose mother is the whore of bondage and evil. They emanate from a father whose origin is evil; whose name is the Devil. Do I go too far? Again:

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. -John 8:44

Others suggest we take issues in our own hands and duke it out, perhaps even literally. Was not that what the Founders hand in mind when they gave us right to bear arms? Both are the important ends of the pendulum and will not by themselves effectively neutralize (if even possible) this black cloud of evil upon America. They must play their role together with as much fierceness that can be mustered by God fearing Americans. I must be cautiously optimistic because so many of us are “paralyzedâ€
