My government etc...

Hello all! Due to the temporary shortage of ARC events to blog about... (sadness... :P hehe) I have been wanting to write a blog on the current status of the US Government. SOooo... here we go! enjoy!

1st, I want to point out a major premise of this current administration :)

What was this government created for in the first place? the protection of the rights of the people. The government was granted the right to tax the people, and enforce just laws in order to protect its citizens. The constitution was drafted in order to restrict what kind of laws where passed and to limit the power of the different branches of the government.

When asked what the government was created for, most people would agree it was for the protection of the people's rights. But not too long after the government was formed, it decided it needed to also educate its peoples. This was a MAJOR mistake on behalf of the United States of America. We will never stop feeling the effects of the regulated, prison-like, indoctrinating public school system. (sorry to use such harsh words, but it's true... )

My Government has also decided it is not going to stop there. Which leads me to point 2.

My government has failed to protect its most innocent of peoples. You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the mass murder and genocide inflicted on the most basic forms of innocent life: abortion.
This new administration, My Government, has decided it's not only O.K. to murder babies in the mother's wombs, but out of them as well. Under the RIDICULOUS defence that the baby is only alive after a certain point. My government is not protecting the baby's rights. Their rights to life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness. Instead it encourages murder.

What brought me to the writing of this post though is found in point 3.

My government has recently decided it is in responsible for the economy. Under the shade of an "economic crisis" (begun by the labor unions), the government has taken MY money (which has been pledged in order to protect American's rights) and given it to a bunch of automotive leaders in order to "stimulate the economy". The auto companies FAILED to address the labor unions properly and instead of being disciplined or replaced, they are rewarded with more money to waste. MY MONEY TO WASTE. It is not my Government's job to control the economy. That is The People's job. If they would allow the people to keep what they earn, they would stimulate the economy.

My government is ruining our education, devestating MILLIONS of baby's rights to life liberty and pursuit of happiness, and is destroying the economy by taking earned money and giving it to those that did not work for it. Neither do they (in my humble opinion) deserve it.

My advice to my government, go back to the purpose of the government. We where founded by the blood of brave men's souls. PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE CITIZENS!

My advice to all the people in my GREAT country, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, practice your communication skills so that when the time comes, you are prepared to stand up for WHAT is RIGHT!

God is sovereign and completely in control. Completely. Allow Him to use you! :)

Sorry if it was a little long... but I had a lot to say. :)

In Christ,

Ben Chambers

The government is definitely in trouble when it's leaders brush righteousness aside in order to appeal to the wants of the people. Wants, not needs. Power is intoxicating, from everything I've seen. It takes a strong, godly man to stand up against the pressure to conform. We need more of them in office.
Good post, Ben! I definitely agree with your three points. Isn't it awesome that God is in control, and we can read Psalm 2 and be reassured that the world's not coming to an end. ;-)

Amen! Praise God! :) He Reigns. The Bible says that the Kings heart is in His hands. Let us trust in Him that as bad as our country gets, our Father in Heaven has a plan for us and is totally in control!! Thanks Grace!

You should do Extemp. I'm bad about keeping up with all of the current events so I just talk about the same principles in almost every speech. You could do it too and get the message out. You're doing a great job of getting your beliefs (which I agree with) out on your blog already.

I actually really wanted to do extemp, but I wasn't able to this year... maybe if we could go to Arkansas or something... idk...
