The Supreme Court gets One Right

 

It’s hard to believe in this era of President Pinocchio and his Sup-press secretary Carney that anything good could come out of the US government - but it has. Enough members (not all) of the Supreme Court have actually bothered to read AND apply the US Constitution to do something right for a change. I speak of the First Amendment, and more specifically the “free exercise thereof” concerning religion.

          In an era that is typified by an administration that bypasses the checks and balances built into our political system, that uses hundreds of armed agents to round up cattle, and that uses lies and deception to abuse the American people, it is a small and subtle victory to be told we will at least be partially allowed our right to prayer at least some of the time.

          I am first and foremost a worshipper of YHWH. Still, I am an American citizen and a veteran of two branches of our armed forces; and, for far too long I have seen our government ignore our Constitution and trample our rights - both those that are “God given” and those “guaranteed” by our Constitution.

          The LGBT-loving-Left, and the ACLU, need to learn that prayer is not exclusively a Christian practice - it is a practice employed by every major religion in the world AND is an “exercise” of the very religious practices the government is forbidden from interfering with. (For those that do not know the term “separation of church and state” is not even in the Constitution.)

          I said long ago I can no longer say “God Bless America”. America no longer deserves His blessing. I do however, like many others, continue to pray for our country. I pray for the USA not because we are better than anyone else, but because what we do, right or wrong, good or bad, impacts so much of the rest of the world.

          If only this small victory could be the beginning of a new trend instead of the fluke I fear it is. Wherever you live, regardless of country, only thru YHWH will this world be truly healed; and, the Bible is full of examples of Him responding to the pleas of those who truly follow Him. Note too though the Bible is also full of examples of what eventually happens to the nations that reject Him.

Arise, O YAHWEH! Do not let man have strength; let the nations be judged before Your face. O YAHWEH, put fear in them; let the nations know they are but men. Selah.

(Psalms 9:19-20)
