Caesar’s Religion

The state has adopted a religion and dictates that religion to its citizens.

As a citizen and soldier, it troubles me that our courts misuse their authority and attack the very fabric of our nation’s constitution in order to usurp the authority of the people’s voice, and the voice of the majority is drowned out by the voice of the media supported hyper-minority.

As a husband and father, it troubles me that the state would bind me to equate the faith, commitment, and sacrifice of marriage with the fashion, fickleness, and folly, of dating; and the state advocates the legal degradation of children to little more than hobbies.

Yet we champion this as progress.

We overlook human nature, history, logic, commonsense, and the will of the majority. The truth is swept away as we progress toward self-imposed oblivion. “Oh come now,” they said twenty years ago…and twenty years before that…and twenty years before that…and so on. Conveniently, progress never takes account.

It’s very difficult to write about without despairing, but…

“…we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

Not a few things or some things or most things or the vast majority of things or practically all things, but “ALL THINGS.”

So, “do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the wicked.” (Proverbs 24:19)

The Lord still reigns sovereign and His standard of righteousness bends neither to the will of man nor the courts of the world. Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and give thanks and praise for all that is good and holy to the one, true God.
