Freedom Outpost

Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” As I am talking with people around the district, I hear a lot of mourning. It doesn’t take much to get people started on what is wrong with county government. The survey just conducted by Gallup Polls reveals that “Every state has at least some residents who are looking for greener pastures, but nowhere is the desire to move more prevalent than in Illinois and Connecticut. In both of these states, about half of residents say that if given the chance to move to a different state, they would like to do so. Maryland is a close third, at 47%.”

One family I spoke with are lifelong residents of Maryland, but they told me this weekend a for sale sign is going up in the front yard and as soon as the house sells they are gone from Maryland for good. They were quick to share the reasons why: a government which has no respect for God’s Holy institution of marriage; a government which has no respect for the God given right of self-defense secured by the 2nd Amendment, as well as the rapacious greedy government which sees no problem in helping itself to the largest portion of your paycheck or, if you retire, making it impossible to survive unless you move out.

I spoke with others who voiced similar mourning under the wicked who rule our State and County governments. Their cynicism shows strongly when they tell me good luck in your campaign, I’ll vote for you but I’d don’t know that you can actually change what happens in county government. Does any of this connect in any significant way to our calling as disciples of Jesus Christ? I think the average Christian, and most churches answer no, it has nothing to do with our calling as disciples of Jesus Christ. Look at what Jesus said to His disciples in the upper room on the evening of Resurrection Sunday.
