A few days ago, this country’s highest appellate court issued a majority opinion concerning the most heinous of aggregate behaviors this nation has been allowing for decades. They reiterated the process by which a righteous people protect themselves and their families from pagan decadence.
As a duly legitimate body, they gave nothing to anyone. Nor did they take anything away from anyone. They merely reminded us that the power to govern ourselves continues to lie in unrestrained agency of our respective state legislatures.
“In a civilized, moral society—that is, in something we’re expected to embody and demonstrate, the premise that someone can possess the legitimate agency to kill at will can never be granted in the course of public debate or adjudication. If it is, then a crucial tendency for any form of decency to prevail is forfeited, and no amount of “Christian” tolerance or understanding can takes its place.”
“Any decision Jesus Christ’s disciple makes not to stand up in the face of evil is an open denial of His authority to accomplish an effective line of resistance through the actions of that disciple. His lack of confidence in Christ’s power to execute much needed change through His Body undermines His purpose of achieving what the Body is unable to do on its own.“

Life is precious. We’re called to defend it through prayer and action.
