Do we really know what we are taught growing up???
This past Sunday at the Susquehanna Valley Church of Christ we had a guest speaker named Wissam. He help a lecture Saturday night about his journey from Islam to Christianity. It was a very good series and very enlightening. Wissam is originally from Baghdad, Iraq, and his journey was a long one!!! He went to school here in America to learn more about God’s word and evangelism. He now works in Taylor Michigan reaching out to the Arab community and sharing the Gospel!!!
Wissam said something in the morning Bible study that really rang true for me and made me rethink some positions I have been taking out life in general. Wissam said that a lot of Muslims he has been teaching really don’t know and understand Islam, because they were just raised in Muslim home and never really learned Islam for themselves!!!
I think this applies to a lot of different things in life. We grow up being taught something and we go through the motions because it is what our parents want, but we never really learn what it means. This could be religion, politics, culture, ethics, morals, and the list could go on. If we never take the time to internalize an ideology and make it our own, and question it, we will never truly be free to take our own path in life!!!

Free markets are the best way to protect the environment!!!
by Dan Clements, Your Constitutional Warrior Friday June 2, 2017 America was set up the be a free country. What do I mean by that? I mean that our founders thought that we should be free to decide what is best for us as an individual, as long as we respect the freedoms and liberties of others!!! That mean we…
Question the Narrative!!!
So many Americans have so many differing opinions, and believe the opinions of so many other Americans, and the narrative that they craft, it’s hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. Having an opinion and believing a narrative is ok as long as they are based in fact and reality!!!
Too many Americans totally believe everything that government tells them, without question. Too many Americans believe that if someone is elected to a governmental office, that person must be very smart and knowledgeable. And to complicate the matter, too many Americans check out of politics after an election and don’t check up on their vote to see if the office holder is doing a good job or not.
In Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience,Thoreau was paraphrasing the motto of The United States Magazine and Democratic Review: “The best government is that which governs least.” Too many Americans rely on the judgment of government, and forgets that government is made up of flawed people just like us!!! Americans seem afraid that if we stop relying on government, the country is going to fall apart. That just is not true, America was not built by government, it was built by simple folks just like you and me!!! Always QUESTION THE NARRATIVE!!!

It seems today more than any other time in America, our federal and state constitutions are under attack. From freedom of speech to the 2nd amendment, and how we think we should be governed. The lamestream media doesn’t take is 1st amendment protection of freedom of the press serous enough!!! Having restraints on a government when it comes to the press, is a keystone of freedom in any country!!!
We have a large anti-freedom movement in America, that threatens the very foundations of our Republic!!! The anti-freedom crowds don’t like any constitutions, because constitutions gets in their way of how they think things should work at a governmental level. Anti-freedom folks like Democracies, because they can drive the emotions of the mob to drive the nations narrative when it comes to governance. Republics are slow and cumbersome when it comes to implementing laws and agendas, and anti-freedom folks can’t stand this because everything is a crisis in their minds!!!
A Republic is the best way to protect the freedoms and liberties of the people against the whims of the Democratic mob!!! America being a Republic is an anomaly in the world, a deterrent to tyrants, and an example to other countries on how to govern!!! The American Republic needs to quit nation building, getting entangled in foreign alliances, protect our own country!!! If the American Republic is strong and healthy, it will be a deterrent in the world and be seen as such, instead of being viewed as an empire!!! Protecting our constitutions is a good step towards being the best example we can be in the eyes of all the nations in the world!!!

Freedom and liberty are incompatible with immorality!!!
Morality is a personal taught ideology, and everyone has morals, some good and some bad. Most folks with bad morals either are persuaded to change them, or they get in trouble because of their bad morals. Most folks with bad morals are subjective in the way they approach their morality.
Most folks with good morals are less subjective about their morals and more objective with the standards they use too determine their morals. Most folks with good morals tend to be more forgiving of those with weak or bad morals. I believe that good moral standards come from God’s word, and He teaches us what good morals are and why it’s important to live by them. But it is up to each of us to determine for themselves if they will be moral or immoral.
Freedom and liberty can not survive for long when a people are immoral!!! If folks don’t do what is right and moral in their relationships, those relationships don’t last for very long. If people are immoral when it comes to communicating with folks, they will tell and push lies onto people to try to advance an agenda that they want. In order to be free and have liberty, we must behave in a good moral fashion in all aspects of out lives!!! Immorality corrupts freedom and liberty and enslaves folks!!!
