The Constitution and the Christian Perspective
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/10/15 | Douglas Gibbs

Once a society loses its moral compass, and denies the moral standard its Judeo-Christian foundation provides, the rest of our rights are soon to follow.

On Saturday night I attended a judicial forum at Calvary Chapel Bible Fellowship in Temecula, and it turned out to be a very interesting event. The attendees, based on their questions, and the responses by the folks on the stage, reminded me that most Americans have a basic handle on what’s going on, and a faint idea of what the Constitution calls for in order for us to maintain our American System, but they are lost in the details. They know something needs to be done, but they don’t know how to do it. They realize things are wrong, but they aren’t sure exactly how it is that these things are so wrong, or how they got so wrong in the first place.

From a Christian perspective, Americans recognize that if we are not a Godly people, freedom will elude us. The Founding Fathers created this country to be a Christian Nation, not in a manner of a theocracy, but with its foundation anchored in a Christian culture that is only capable of standing as long as that Christian culture remains intact.

At the forum I attended at the Calvary Chapel Bible Fellowship in Temecula, among the most common questions was, “How did the courts get so much power?”

Because Alexander Hamilton willed it so-- he and the NYC banker contingent that he kept visiting (a 3-day trip) during the Constitutional Convention.

To learn more, much more, read Kenneth W. Royce's "Hologram of Liberty".

We must face the facts as stated by Lysander Spooner back in the 1870's: "The Constitution has either given us the form of government we have, or it has been powerless to prevent it."
