A law-tuber (Lawyer on YouTube) named Steve Gosney, once said during a live stream and I had to immediately write it down. It sits on a post-it note here on my bulletin board right behind my monitor.
“Faith is essential to personal freedom.”
“What do we do with the freedom we have.”
“Are you prepared for individual freedom.”
“Do you know where your faith resides.”
“We have unconsciously placed our faith in things that are not worthy of that faith.”
I’ve seen a meme lately of Randy Macho-Man Savage in his full American get up, right next to a picture of V from V from Vendetta. And under Macho-Man it said, “What I mean when I talk about my country.” and under V, it said, “What I mean when I talk about my government.”
Where does your faith lie? Mine is in Christ. Not in our government.
Where does your freedom lie? In the blood of Christ. Not in our government.
You can have pride in your country, but not your government. In a few days we celebrate our country’s birthday and all I see online is hate and anger and rage. Rage is a new one. Should be one of the internet’s deadly sins. “Fourth of July is cancelled”. You do realize that you can say that in this country _because_ of this country right? You’re not getting hauled off to jail because you posted nonsense rage bait on Tik-Tok.
Work past your hate and anger and rage (yes, I know I sound like Yoda) – and start looking somewhere for answers. It’s not who sits in Congress or the White House. It’s to your Father. And he loves you even if you are posting all this nonsense.
Tell someone you love them.
Be excellent to one another.
All hail The King!
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked.
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
