Reflections on Life & Liberty

Most of us aren’t called to man the walls of an old church, but we are called to face a hostile world.

Even with political shorthand, you still have to know what you want.

Just ignore the people whose counsel you’d never seek.

We must bring the right kind of trouble to the ruling elite.

We can find peace by controlling ourselves.

It can be risky, but we are called to be faithful.

Whatever bad things one has to say about school boards are more appropriately directed at the citizens who elect them. 

Our only meaningful identity is in Christ and in Christ alone.

Jesus came not as He deserved but as we needed him.

Joy to the earth! The Savior reigns!

Some want the church to apathetically wave the white flag of surrender as the enemy struts unopposed through our streets. 

Wisdom is knowing when to shut up, when to speak, and when to act.

Every generation must shrug off the vestiges of socialism if we are truly thankful for liberty.

Our republic needs the light now more than ever.

A futile war and a path to peace.

Tetelestai!

Sometimes, you have no choice but to defend yourself.

As citizens, we must get better at separating the political wheat from the chaff.

There are 17 proposed constitutional amendments on this November’s ballot; ignore them at your peril.

Ignorance might be an amoral form of bliss, but the future of the republic rests on an informed citizenry.

Your rights are inconvenient to the whims of tyrants

The language we use to define issues often determines how we will solve them.

As we grow closer to God, we grow closer to each other.

Now is the time for choosing.

Citizens aren’t supposed to be the politicians’ cheerleaders or apologists.

In all ages, government power draws egomaniacs and sycophants.

But what we do with it is what matters.

Proclaim the truth, no matter how inconvenient it is to those in power.

Let us roar in defiance!

Ownership of property is central to preserving liberty.

When we set aside God’s wisdom, we embrace tyrants’ whims.

We all must stop starring as martyrs in our self-devised tale of woe.

Those whose geopolitical aspirations are based on rewriting history are building on a shaky foundation of lies

We celebrate our founding fathers’ choice to fight tyranny.

We can choose to approach life as a grumbler or as a happy warrior

Our property taxes will only go down when our local engagement goes up.

What was dimly glimpsed in 1215 was more fully fleshed out in 1776.

Strength is found not in diversity, but in unity.

The giants in the land can be defeated if we don’t give up

Even in an age of text messages and emojis, real words on real paper matter more than ever.
