On John Lofton, Christianity, and Government
February 7th, 2010 by inspired
One thing most likely to rouse me out my constant procrastinating state is the sudden compelling urge to pound out a blog entry in response to statements ignorantly spewed by either non believers or those wearing the latest style in sheepwear. The latter plagues me the most and if I were to allow myself to listen to the constant bleating I’d probably be sitting here at the desk with much more frequency. I recently allowed myself to fume while listening to the latest podcast featuring John Lofton of The American View (Listen HERE.) and although a day later I’d like to offer up a few thoughts.
My first thought while listening to this particular podcast is that if these local public servants were typical of others in employ by state and federal governments then we are in a world of hurt. It is appalling enough that students attending government run humanistic institutions of re-education, otherwise known as the public schools, lack common sense and basic knowledge. This is a case of the blind leading the blind. It’s the pied piper all over again except in this case the piper has no idea what tune he’s playing. The fish does not know it is wet and most humanists, unbelievers or “Christians” in mutton chaps, have no idea they are immersed in a humanistic worldview.
I decry humanistic influence. What humanism? I’m asked. Stop feeding into the rightwing conspiracy theory. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. As a Calvinist, I know God has made vessels unto honor and vessels unto dishonor. It’s no less frustrating. The blind cannot see no matter how much I point out the beauty of God’s law and His indescribable glory. Still, I cannot deter from the command to pursue righteousness and expose the deeds of darkness. I know not the chosen and so I must persevere in doing my part for Christendom–discipling the nations by means of the role God has given me.
There are three areas I cannot escape from: ungodly government schools and the command for parents to teach and nurture their own children, biblical law and it’s relevant application to everyday life, and the influence of Christianity on Western Civilization (especially as pertains to the United States). Dead horses may abound and I’ve a great cache of broom handles.
