The Old Path: The Way

Molly Slag at the American Thinker today has a very good explanation of why America finds itself in deep kimchi. If you have ever had the Korean version of sauerkraut, you will understand that this is a most uncomfortable position. The article is entitled America's Degredation Is No Accident. No, indeed, it is not. Whether you look at it as God removing his protection from us, or as the Left sinking its claws into us, it is the same thing. Just as the Left could not let ancient Israel stand because it was a rebuke to the rest of the ancient world, the United States stood as a rebuke to the Left and Communism. Their lack of success could not be hidden from their people, so the had to attack America.

Many of us are asking that same question as the full panoply of woke hoaxes comes more and more to dominate our life.

What happened? In a single word, the answer to the question “What happened” is “Hijacked.” The government we inherited from the American Founders has been hijacked and turned against us.

George Washington characterized America as “an experiment in ordered liberty.” The experiment promotes liberty, but liberty requires order. Every society has a criminal element. Supplying the order sufficient to suppress this criminal element calls forth the police power of the state. To fulfill its purpose, this police power must be considerable. Washington accurately described this power when he stated, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

Today we have an enormous cloud of enemies of the republic, including the US Federal Government, about half of the state governments, major corporations (Disney, Target, Budweiser, Ben & Jerry, Hollywood, Maybelline, etc., etc.), public education, the United Nations, and the WEF, inter alia, all pushing onto the U.S. population the full delusion of the woke hoaxes, from global warming to transgenderism.

This cloud of enemies of the republic employs the police power of the state to repress the political liberty of the citizens rather than to protect the citizens from the criminals.

What has hastened this situation is that the church is no longer a bulwark for liberty. Indeed, often it operates as an enemy of the republic.

Joseph Farah has remarked, “More and more, it’s a lawless time in America. It’s as if people never heard of God’s Ten Commandments.” Writing at American Thinker, Richard Chiero pointed out that churches themselves have turned away from Judeo-Christian values and principles.

Note that the Left is the way that the Devil attacks people today. No one has to actually worship man made idols, though some may do so, but instead, if you place your trust in the state over God, you are worhipping the Devil, including his demons. That is why the state pushes abortion (Molech), the gay, lesbian transgender and whatever else queer agenda (Asteroth/Ishtar) and envy and lust for what others have (Baal). We have alowed the Left to take over so many of our institutions, that at some point, God, who protected us from harm, removed his protection. And as Molly Slag says, no one is riding to our rescue.

Having very forthrightly stated our position: we are alone, abandoned by God, and surrounded, Slag proceeds to what we can do about it. She suggests we release the hounds of revolution...but wait. This revolution is not your typical armed rebellion.

Here are a few examples of non-violent revolutionary actions that citizens can effectively take in pursuit of the restoration of law:

1. Extract children from public schools and either home-school them or send them to non-leftist private schools.

2. Teach children the truth about God, God’s moral law, and sin.

3. Teach children the truth about sex and the requirement of righteous sexuality for civilization.

4. Teach children about the value of family.

5. Start each day praying with the children to thank God for ELLP: Existence, Life, Liberty, Property.

6. Hire math and English tutors for the children.

In accordance with this line of thinking, you can establish your own legal, non-violent revolutionary acts.

While there are good apps for daily bible readings, I personally like the Daily Lectionary published by the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. I also like Luther's morning and evening prayer as printed in Luther's Small Catechism by the LCMS. Slag is correct that it takes more than simple belief. Once must place God and Jesus at the center of your life, trust in Him above all things, teach your children to trust in Him. That is what it means to repent: to change one's mind and embark on a new path. Only the new path is embracing the old path.
