“Ultimate values are far more important to the well-being and success of a nation than the condition of its markets.” –Ken Conner
Liberals reject the idea of absolute truth because they reject God and His revelation in Jesus Christ.
The unborn must be wanted and without defect before they have value. When life is not held sacred, then the rest of the moral law is subject to relativism. This is plain to see…
The authority of parents is undermined in the public education of children by teaching things contrary to the home and church. The family and religion is exchanged for its socialist counterfeits. Morality is exchanged for immorality and perversion. False science becomes the official state religion.
How does the socialist win support as he promotes tyranny for liberty? The socialist idea of fairness trumps the commandment not to steal. They will take from a man’s labor and offer to others what is not theirs to give. He appeals to the envy of men for the property of other men and the greed of men to have more than what they have earned with their own labor.
When public policy enters into matters of conscience by advocating lawlessness, then the state violates the most sacred property a man possesses. The culture is damaged by promoting dependency while the economy is damaged by punishing individual success and the creation of wealth.
What was intended to promote fairness actually debases the culture by appealing to what is flawed in human nature rather than what is noble.
Long before life was assaulted by the Left, the worship of the Lord God according to revelation ceased because the Bible lost its preeminent place of authority in the apostate church. The doctrines of men became the doctrine of the church. Referring to Augustinianism and Pelagianism, the old truth rediscovered in the Reformation was exchanged for the same old lies. The sovereignty of God and His authority over the nations became an offense to the church as well as to men.
The state has become our sovereign and the socialist our savior. We the people are the serfs of the state rather than free men. Free men do not hand over their heritage in liberty for a mess of pottage.
