[T]he law is ignored and justice is never upheld. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore, justice comes out perverted.

[T]he law is ignored and justice is never upheld. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore, justice comes out perverted. (Habakkuk 1:4) November 19, 2013, was the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. The speech has become iconic. On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner described the Gettysburg Address as a “monumental act” […]
The Preamble: How Would You Write It?

There are, at least, two Biblical reasons why the Constitutional Republic is one day doomed to fail like all previous man-made governments (Daniel 2:44, etc.): 1) The framers failed to expressly establish government and society upon Yahweh’s immutable morality as codified in His triune law (His commandments, statutes, and judgments). As a result, the handwriting […]

In this article, I address another of the Constitution’s more serious “camels”—which Christians should be choking on instead of swallowing. Article 3’s Judicial Usurpation On June 27, 2005, in Van Orden v. Perry, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas declared, “All told, this Court’s jurisprudence leaves courts, governments, and believers and nonbelievers alike confused—an observation that […]

In this article, I address another of the Constitution’s more serious “camels”—which Christians should be choking on instead of swallowing. Article 2’s Executive Usurpation Isaiah 33:22 informs us that Yahweh1 is our judge, lawgiver, and king. This means He alone is sovereign: He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and […]

In the previous series, “Straining at Gnats…,” I addressed what is regrettably an all too common malady among people who call themselves Constitutional Christians—that is, the propensity to try to read the Bible into the Constitution or, at least, into the minds of its framers. The extent that some people go in their attempt to […]

In this article, I continue to examine Mr. Fortenberry’s “Hidden Facts of the Founding Era,” in which he proposes forty-eight points that allegedly prove the Constitution was based upon the Bible. Point #30 “Article 2, Section 1 – ‘The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot…. The person having the greatest […]
