And just how would Baldwin “fight...and resist tyranny”? Send a couple of nuke armed Cruise missiles through a palace window? A thousand yard sniper shot? Refuse to pay taxes to an oppressive national government?
Just what does Chuck recommend doing?...in the name of Christ of course....
How about simply refusing to bear false witness by finding excuses to rationalize what is happening in Washington as acceptable?
We have a written Constitution, which simply does not authorize what is being done in its name--it just does not. Anyone who reads it in context understands that. Those who take an oath to uphold it, and then support what has been going on, have betrayed their oath; betrayed their duty, both to those presently alive, and to those who will follow. How can any man, claiming to shepherd people to Godly purpose, remain silent, if he understands this?
Pastor Baldwin's ministry is directed towards the honorable; those who really believe that there is a place for integrity in public life--not those who go through the motions, while ignoring uncomfortable reality.
