In God We Should Trust
By Robert Curtis I was recently at the graduation exercises of one of my sons-in-law for his successful training in military intelligence and interrogation. The graduation exercises were held at a local military base. The graduation exercises both began and ended with a prayer to God for the safety and success of our men in uniform in harms way who are fighting this war on terror. I was deeply moved and impressed at the openness and sincerity of our troops who prayed, unashamed and publicly, supplicating the God of the Universe for guidance and support in the continuing struggles against evil that is perpetuating upon this earth. It gave me pause to reflect upon my own attitude, and the attitudes of the majority at large. Do we support the reality and necessity of this battle against evil? It is real. It will not go away on its own. It must be directly confronted and defeated. Diplomacy has not been effective. Active and fearless confrontation is the only moral alternative left for us to employ. Have we learned nothing from the past? Pacifism only encourages the perpetration of evil design. We must support our elected officials in their continuing efforts to overcome. We must actively seek to elect officials who will not surrender our freedoms to the mindless threats of evil militant mobs. We need to support those elected officials whom are willing to rise to the challenge and defend our freedoms and the right to freedom for all mankind. We are, for the most part, a nation of Christians and Christian-minded people. Do we not read in our Bible the following: Curse not the King (President), no not in thy thought (Ecclesiastes 10:20). We elected him. We should, therefore, support or change our choice by election. It is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people (Acts 23:5). Two comments: (1) If we dont like the current President, elect a new one. (2) If we refuse to vote, we have no say in the governing style or choices of our leaders. And finally, For so is the will of God, that with well doing (elections), ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men (a few, choice congressmen(women) and Senators): As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness (personal agendas and misinterpretations of the laws and will of the people of this nation), but as servants of God. Honour all men. Fear God. Honour the King (President) (1 Peter 2:15-17) Its time for the Silent to stand. Its time to make our voices heard.
