I Pledge Allegiance…

I Samuel 7-10

These chapters record the greatest power shift in history.  Man has demanded that their allegiance be transferred from God to man.  They would rather be ruled by men than God and man has never looked back.  What a travesty.  

I Samuel 8:10-22 should be required reading for all Americans.  It is an eerie foretelling of our own history.  We are willingly transfering our allegiance to the government and expecting it to be as God to us. 

Governments can only rule over us by force of law.  They do not possess a conscious nor can they consciously act morally.  Governments will always act on their own best interest and will continually seek power to enforce and protect those interests. 

The only restraints to government are citizens who have found a way to act with moral consciousness.  These citizens then rule over and manage civic duties.  There is no way by which to make men act morally except through a willing acceptance of a universal moral authority.  That authority must be absolute and autonomous and always act on the basis of love to seek the betterment of others over Itself. 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son...” John 3:16

There’s an Authority that meets all man’s requirements.
