Psalm 2

 ¹ Why do the nations conspire^[a]
   and the peoples plot in vain?
² The kings of the earth rise up
   and the rulers band together
   against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
³ “Let us break their chains
   and throw off their shackles.”

 ⁴ The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
   the Lord scoffs at them.
⁵ He rebukes them in his anger
   and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
⁶ “I have installed my king
   on Zion, my holy mountain.”
 ⁷ I will proclaim the LORD’s decree:
   He said to me, “You are my son;
   today I have become your father.
⁸ Ask me,
   and I will make the nations your inheritance,
   the ends of the earth your possession.
⁹ You will break them with a rod of iron^[b];
   you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
 ¹⁰ Therefore, you kings, be wise;
   be warned, you rulers of the earth.
¹¹ Serve the LORD with fear
   and celebrate his rule with trembling.
¹² Kiss his son, or he will be angry
   and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
   Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Wow this is power stuff.  Makes you think about the world today, and hope and pray that our nation heeds the word of God. I know God will not forget his people, but I am scared that our nation will become so PC that we will be a nation that believes in nothing.  I am for freedom of choice because God gave us free will and I would never want to take someone’s free will from them.  It is our calling as children of God to spread the Good News and disciple people in God’s word.  First, it has to be their choice to accept the Free Gift. I am getting really tired of all the media reports saying one thing or another is the right way and to Heck with anyone else’s point of view.  I am also sick and tired of people lumping all Christians in with the fanatics that give us a bad name.  I believe in the first amendment, all of the first amendment.  If you truly believe and want that freedom of speech you must accept and fight for the person who shouts on the street corner opposite you saying words you morally oppose. To quote one of my favorite movies The American President:  "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.”

The writers of that film got it right, it is okay to disagree, but to spew hate because you believe something else and not allow others to have a point of view or allow them an outlet to express it, is what our forefathers ran from in the first place.  I truly believe most American’s do not understand what our freedoms are and yes you can say it is your freedom to say something, but it is someone’s freedom to say the opposite.  We are not talking about what is morally or ethically right or values in manners that should guide all our tongues, but what is an American right.  For now I speak my mind and vote the way I choose based on my research and my reflection (okay I go to God for the reflection part, again my right, free exercise of religion).

I serve the one true God, and by doing so I am going to help the poor, help the needy, put others first, and treat others with respect.  If all those things sound horrible to you, then I don’t know what planet you live one, and worry about your sanity.  Note I didn’t say I would beat you over the head with my Bible.  If you want to know about my faith or what I believe, ask.  I will talk openly and freely about what I believe (my right) and let you know what it has done for me.  I will not overwhelm you with it or talk to you about it if you have expressed to me that you do not want to hear it (your right).  I would kindly ask the same in return.
