Many of my patriotic and conservative friends have expressed to me that they are discouraged at the lack of awareness and or concern of most American regarding the directon of our nation. There seems to be an indifference concerning the direct threat on our liberties by our elected officials. I for one am aware of the glazed over looks pepole have when I talk with them about the jeopardy our constitution is experiencing under this administration. It is amazing that that so many are oblivious to the rapid evaporation of our liberties by policies, excutive orders, and legislations that are unconstitutional and in violation of the founding principles that undergird our liberties. How is it that so many are blind? I have three observations that might help to define the problem. 1. Thomas Jefferson indentifies a human characteristic that explain the typical glazed look on most folk faces when it comes to fighting for and responding to the obvious threat on our liberties. In the declaration of independence he said, "that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the form to which they are accustomed." Wow, Jefferson in that one phrase communicates very clearly a problem widespread among most Americans. 2. Most American are unaware of the threat to our constitution because they don't know what's in the constitution. A dumb down population is easily duped and manipulated. 3. There is a spiritual component to the apathy apparent among us. The cult of personality, the message of change and the lame street media are contributing to a widespread deception that has duped Americans into believing a lie that is sourced in Darwinism, Socialism, and Communism. all three are godless systems based on the philosophies of men. 1Tim 4:1 "But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons," I summit to you that all these man made ism's are doctrines of demons and are very seductive to the uninitiated. They sound good but there end is destruction. The bible warns in Col.2:8 "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ." My friends this equals spiritual blindness!
Our declaration of independence and constitution were based upon the "Laws of nature and of natures God" God given principles coupled with principles of justices and righteousness is no longer understood by the majority of Americans and that is why so many don't know or want to know the threat we face. To my patriotic friends our role is that of a watchman on the wall. Sound the alarm as loud as you can, if they don't get up it will not be because the alarm failed to sound.
