Breaking the Law
Some may remember the title of this missive from the song by Judas Priest. It's about someone who feels that they have no other course of action than to break the law.
EXCERPT:
When I think about the lawlessness of the American Marxist leftists, well, this song came to mind. As well, I went back and grabbed my copy of Frederic Bastiat’s essay, “The Law,” which, if you have not read it, you should. I just needed a confirmation, a reminder, of why we have laws, according to Bastiat. He postulates that the law exists to protect our life, liberty, and property. Bastiat is referring to the natural rights theory of English political philosopher John Locke, who is known as the “Father of Classical Liberalism.” He emphasizes that the preeminent role of government is to safeguard the unalienable, natural rights of the individual: life, liberty, and property. Instead of each of us going about as armed vigilantes, we submit to the government the responsibility to collectively secure and protect those rights.
So, one has to ask, what is all this hullabaloo going on in Minneapolis? Simple, it is about deranged people who do not understand the law, and are willfully breaking the law, and insidiously defending those who have broken the law.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
NKJV
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, you have heard it said "We fight our battles on our knees!", as this lawlessness is upon us, we must seek in earnest the mighty, saving arm of our God. He has promised to go before us in battle. Now is the time for us to be prayer warriors and call upon the armies of the Lord.
Another great post. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
