GOD BLESS TEXAS—LET THE MAJORITY RULE!

It is difficult to pinpoint the beginning of “minority rule” in America—it has been such an insidious thing. Cloaked in the guise of helping the poor, the downtrodden, the uneducated, or the unfortunate, there has been a powerful movement at work to put an end to majority rule. What better place is there to instill these ideas than within our schools and colleges?

For centuries, God-fearing people have been fighting a battle with those who would create their own utopia where everyone is taken care of by a self-described “courageous elite.” Since the 16th century, the western world has seen the concepts of enlightenment, rationality, modernism, liberalism, post modernism, progressivism, socialism, communism, and fascism take their successive turns at running (and ruining) the lives of many—all with the goal of taking God and personal freedom out of the picture. And, with God out of the equation, the tail does indeed “wag the dog.”

While these ideas were being bandied about all over Europe, the majority of those who settled this great land were busy building a life that allowed them to seek their personal dreams of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They were so sure that our constitutional republic would be continued and respected that little notice was given to the “courageous elite” who were busily undermining it “for our own good.” Over the past 120 years, a vast amount of power has been placed into the hands of unelected officials and, by fiat, a multitude of government agencies.

But back to the Texas School Board decision. The Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 opened the door to federal oversight of education. This incursion ran afoul of our Constitution and Bill of Rights which left education in the hands of the states and their people. With the help of left-leaning journalists, the public was convinced that educational content should be under the domain of professional educators. All the while, our rights and even our nation’s history were being compromised and rewritten. More importantly, our children were (are) being brainwashed to believe that America is “the problem;” that we, the majority, are racist, selfish, capitalists. They are routinely taught that the only “right” answer is to abandon our form of government and embrace a one-world, socialistic system whereby the rules of a larger body supersede the provisions of our constitution. So-called reformers of every generation have used education as their weapon of choice, making it the “grand solution” in overturning what they perceive as society’s ills. Their efforts came to fruition in the 2008 elections when younger citizens overwhelmingly voted to “fundamentally change America.” The Texas School Board’s majority decision, however, has put a little balance back into the process of textbook content. They have shown us that we can successfully fight back.

WE MUST NOT DROP THE BALL ON THIS! We should vigorously support the valiant efforts of the residents and officials of Arizona, Texas, and the other states who are fighting to protect our country’s borders as well as our God-given heritage. Majority rights have been trampled by ridiculous lawsuits and threats of reprisal by the Obama administration, states like California and Illinois, the ACLU, and all their cohorts. It’s time to flex our corporate muscle and fight back!

Make 2010 National Day of Prayer a Non-Stop Year of Prayer

Now is the time to heed God’s word to his people:

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

God prefaced this statement by saying that when HE brings about disasters designed to bring us to our knees, he will respond to our genuine desire to repent and turn back to him. Don’t you think we've had enough reminders? How many more Katrinas, droughts, floods, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and plots by haters of this country do we need to wake us from our lethargy? All these things are events that we, as individuals, have no control over. But, as believers, we know that the Creator God does have control.

The recent flooding in and around Nashville has been described as an event that only happens every 500 to 1,000 years—a perfect storm! This happened in a city once described as “The Jerusalem of the South” because of its many churches, religious organizations, and schools. That seems appropriate to the scripture cited because those instructions were given to Solomon after he had finished building the temple in Jerusalem.

Most thinking people who are in any way knowledgeable about the history of the founding of this country would probably agree that we now stand on a precipice. If we march headlong down President Obama’s road away from the principles which established our country and its constitution, we will be like lemmings following their leader over a cliff. The waters we fall into will be those of a Godless, socialist welfare state that will take away our freedom and lead to the fate of all great powers who forgot their beginnings.

But we have hope! It is our God who has the power (and uses it) to establish governments and kings as well as the power to bring them down. We know what we, as his people, need to do. Let’s commit to earnest prayer for our country as we look forward to the November elections. Of course, we can’t stop there—it must be ongoing.

I began with scripture and will close with one that is dear to my heart:

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
