Constitutional Conversations
Why should God save us?
The Church has been commissioned to “bear rule” as Proverbs 29:2 1599 Geneva Bible says: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.”
The 1828 Dictionary says that “bear” means “To support or sustain without sinking or yielding; to endure” as God commands us in Genesis 1:28, “Bring forth fruit, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule…”
Yes, we lost this with the fall in the garden, but how much more has Jesus’ death on the cross restored us and empowered us to obey God’s commands in Genesis 1:28, Mark 16, Matthew 16, 18, or 28- to make disciples and to build His Kingdom?
This requires obedience, work and faithfulness as one of America’s first congressman John Quincy Adams modeled when he was trying to end slavery. He was challenged to quit because it seemed he had only failed. He summed up his conviction this way: “Duty is ours; results are God’s”
What if we fully shouldered the duty to bear rule and trusted that maybe God would “turn the tables” as he did for Esther and Mordecai in Babylon? (Esther 9:1) Maybe He would shut the mouths of these lions. Maybe He would part the Red Sea for us. Maybe He would enable the next president to achieve his goal “of transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people.” But are we ready? Do we know the original intent of the Constitution? Do we know and understand the Biblical philosophies and original intent of the three branches, their check and balances, due process, trial by jury, the necessity of balancing power, and the required self government of “We, the people” and of the individual states? Without this knowledge, we are neither able to virtuously bear rule nor do we deserve it as Samuel Adams stated. So help us, Almighty God!!

“I strongly endorse Brenda’s course on the US Constitution. Every American should take this course. Every American Believer needs to grasp the depth of Biblical truth that was built into the foundations of our country – and then learn exactly what needs to happen to move us back toward our Biblical roots.” ~ Sam Chess, Senior Pastor Grace Emmanuel Church
