Freedom and Domination-B – God established the United States under a Constitution that would guarantee that the government would be made up of average people, and serve the interests of the people, however, the people have allowed the government officials to tell them what to do and draw them away from God. Those who believe the liberal philosophy feel that the average person is not smart enough to rule themselves and need someone to rule over them, but Jesus said, he who would be great, must be a servant (Mark 9:26). Our first priority should be to serve others, not enslave them. We get through giving to others. While we may not get rich in the things of this world, we become rich in things that really matter. It goes against all we consider to be wise but it works and those who seek to get find that which they get slips through their fingers and is easily lost. Jesus says, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. God established the government to keep the peace but when they tell us to do that which violates God’s will, God expects us to obey Him and not the government. We tend to hide behind the government officials and say that they made us do it, but God will hold each of us accountable for our actions. We may suffer because of disobeying the government, but not nearly as much as we will suffer if we disobey God. By disobeying the government, we could end up in jail, but by disobeying God, we could end up spending eternity in Hell. We saw pro-life people sent to prison under the Biden Administration for praying outside of an abortion clinic. They had been warned but felt their duty to God to protect the innocent required it.
