After almost two years of this podcast, I reflected the last few months about the more important work which must step in here in the very soon future.  Our nation, our mainstream news sites, our conservative news sites, our government, our culture, our society, our education system, our judicial system, all, seem so chaotic and controversial.  This amassed craziness and noise will occupy every square thought in your brain, if you let it.  And that’s exactly what all the above are trying to do – they want you stressed out, they want you overwhelmed, they want you confused and disoriented, so they can push onto you more control, and move so quickly behind the scenes, that thousands of new laws or regulations get passed while you’re reading simply today’s headlines.  How this will affect you and your family, or your business, or your taxes, you will have no idea, because you were never informed about them, but you’re liable to them, and tomorrow it will be even more.  So, in the chaos of what has been the last few years, how can you still live a life of honor, prudence, integrity, and peace?  First, it would be to step back from seeking the world for your inputs (news, education, government, etc.).  Second, it would be to be focused and tune in to that which really matters.  If there’s something I have learned in my short time on this earth, it’s that life is short, and our relationship with God, first, and our relationship with other people, second, is what really matters.  And that is the next adventure which awaits.  In this next season, I will launch a sermon series podcast, stepping exegetically through The Holy Bible, to show the world the way for life, for integrity, and for peace.  We all are given but one life, for an unknown number of days, so, how will we live it?

It’s time to rein in the overreach by past Supreme Court members.  If they ruled unconstitutionally, it should be overturned.  Overturning Roe v Wade wasn’t radical.  The power was never given to the federal government with regard to abortion.  Also, the matter of same-sex marriage is not a federal matter, it procedurally is a state matter.  But, both of those fly in the face of what marriage has been for 10,000 years and what America has been built on for about 240 years at the time of the 2015 Supreme Court ruling.  Pelosi now works to codify that into law at the legislative level – shockingly, with the assistance of 47 House Republicans.  Whether legislatively or judicially, or even from the Executive, the same treatment of gay marriage to traditional heterosexual marriage, will significantly damage our nation and will be seen vividly in the next two decades.  There is a reason the Bible’s standard has been the pattern of human civilization since the beginning – because male and female is “very good.”

The quest is on for identity.  And this, all the while, identity has already been gifted to us.  So, will we embrace it and respect it?  But could it all be that the Progressives are using distorted identity naming as a way to distract the American people from what is going on behind the scenes.  The American spirit is under threat from the daily activities of the Marxist left in our culture.  They work against the good of the American citizen and restrict their abilities and restrict their energy utilities, all the while putting on a fake smile and placating that this is a “good thing.”  But those with eyes to see, clearly see their propaganda.  Putin too, is using propaganda, in his quest to garner favor to the war against Ukraine.

The American republic is not a one-day event.  It was not a foundational occurrence requiring no future participation.  It must be heavily defended one generation after another.  It’s longevity, like that of Rome or Athens, will only extend by the figurative warriors who cling still tightly to its laws, values, freedoms, and rights of the individual.  So, America must be defended.  It must be defended today from those who seek to destroy it – civilly, legally, and methodically.  But it will take the changing of men’s hearts to change the direction of the country, now far adrift.  And in their stopping and looking up will they find the course correction that we need.

After 50 years, the appalling and abhorrent law of Roe v Wade is dead.  It’s death now gives literal life.  And in a Constitutional matter, provides greater freedom and rights to the individual states, which is where the majority of freedom and rights have always belonged.  We are a union of states, not a nationalist federation.  There is a big difference.  One is about liberty.  The other about tyranny.  Now, finally, states have the choice to completely outlaw abortion at all levels, to their conscious, to their faith, and to the health and sanctity of life of all men and women in those states.

What if we had true American patriots at the helm of the country?  How would the country look and operate if we had leaders who led with courage, had a strong foreign policy position, greatly expanded the size of our military (to compensate the drastic reductions the last 10 years), and spoke well of the American people?  What if our leaders encouraged private enterprise, lowered taxes, encouraged unity across all races, all ethnicities, all religions, all income levels?  What if they taught American history in the schools and prohibited any fake woke ideologies?  What if?

It’s easy to go with the flow.  Societally speaking, that is.  To throw principle in the wind, and embrace caution - not throw it.  There is a very dark power at work, I used to say “behind the scenes,” but it’s quite evident, here and now.  Being unamerican used to have a very bad stigma, so much so, that it kept detractors at bay to a large extent.  There was such a constant of patriotism and while not perfect, yes, unity in the nation, that you did not want to be unamerican because you would be outcast, shunned, or stigmatized as such and no longer would you enjoy the mutual respect or mutual level of commerce among your partners or vendors.  Americanism was valued almost across the board.  Today, going with the flow means going with the wave of a groupthink largely unamerican.  The likes of Black Lives Matter and Antifa basically scream that America is bad, racist from this way to that, that America preys on the less fortunate with capitalism, and that both law and order must be destroyed because it is clear anarchy is the answer.  But anarchy is not the answer.  Anarchy creates civil wars, anarchy creates an open season for murder, theft, arson, and criminal activity.  So what will bring safety back?  Safety returns when those in power choose to again prioritize Law and Order.  Safety returns when those in power choose to value safety.  But that is not what is occurring now.

The Second Amendment wasn’t a second-thought or any afterthought for Americans, at the founding, at the framing, and especially before.  Americans have always known that ever since British occupation, with British soldiers stationed in citizens homes during the Revolution, firearms provided the only counterbalance to tyranny.  A firearm does not have a soul, it doesn’t have a brain, it doesn’t have feelings, it can’t will itself to do anything on its own.  It doesn’t choose to commit a crime.  Therefore, the problem in a shooting-related crime is not the firearm because it’s an inanimate object.  The problem is also not in the fact that it is manufactured by a gun manufacturer.  Rather, the fact, that it is manufactured and therefore exists, propels safety forward, for the citizen to maintain daily, their freedom.  It protects the citizen, and protects the citizen’s family, and protects the citizen’s friends.  It’s not the law-abiding citizen who uses firearms or other weapons to break laws or commit harm or murder.
