IF this election was the referendum on Judeo-Christian values as many of our finest had cast it; then the devastating results should cause great reflection in people of faith.
We should be repentant of our deficient catechesis; of failing to "commend to others the faith that is within us", to borrow a phrase from one prayer of confession.
And while our catechesis might still be adequate in "red counties" otherwise known as "flyover country" those same bi-colored maps reveal an utter failure of evangelism in our coastal cities.
So let us take yesterday's failure as tomorrow's challenge: to impart "the faith once delivered to the saints" to those regions where to many. God's Holy Name is but a curse word.
“IF this election was the referendum on Judeo-Christian values as many of our finest had cast it; then the devastating results should cause great reflection in people of faith.”
Adams also said, paraphrasing from a letter to his wife, that Liberty, once lost, is gone forever. More important to the context is the bargaining away of the limits on government, specifically, as the contributing factor to its demise.
What Adams was saying to his wife, in essence, is you have to start over again. This is probably what Jefferson was referring to as well in the ‘Tree of liberty is watered by the blood of patriots’.
The USA, as it was founded, is all done. The land remains, but we are no longer a nation of laws, but now we are a nation of men.
Limbaugh wonders why there are two standards - what liberals can get away with and what conservatives get punished for (as opposed to what they actually do).
There are two standards because there are two classes - the makers and the takers. The makers have become a permanent subclass.
When everybody is special, nobody is.
