When Lions Become Lambs

The Right TO DECIDE

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
---Revelation 1:8
 
 
 
 
The next time you speak with your Congressional representative, or decide to attend a town hall meeting, ask them whether they affirm, or swear, to their Oath of office:
 
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
 
There’s a big difference between saying something’s true and swearing to the truth. You needn't have earned a law degree from an elite  school to understand that.
 
If you’re brave enough to ask your Senator or Congressman the question, muster up the courage to ask them if they’ve chosen to make that Oath under God.
 
The last four words of the Oath aren’t obligatory; and the way in which they handle their answers will tell you a lot about the content of their character.
 
Wolves huff and puff before they feed you their answer; and pigs squeal in contempt. Rest assured, the words of our lord and savior Jesus Christ ring true in the voices of our devoted public servants who've chosen to shepherd His flock toward a better and brighter future. 
 
​
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
---John 8:45-47
