The Voice of Liberty: THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD AND HE SAYS DEFEND YOURSELF

Any time there is a traumatic situation, people want something to blame. They always want something to go after. There is one person to blame here. A person felled with hate, a person that doesn't define South Carolina. And we are going to focus on that person. I know President Obama has his job to do and he made those statements. But my job is to now get this state to heal and our focus, very much, is on those nine families. It's on the Mother Emanuel church family. It's on the AME family and it's on the people of South Carolina who are saying that one person doesn't define us. What's happening in churches now around the state, that defines us. - See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2015/06/19/nbc-nikki-haley-does-shooting-make-you-rethink-second-amendment#sthash.VtDvQR25.dpuf

Father's Day has arrived in America.

It greets a Nation rattled with the knowledge that the President of the United States has a plan to end violence in America by repealing the Second Amendment. However, after three years of facing the Middle East's "JV Team", the Commander-In-Chief has no plan. The sun rises on a Nation that has accepted the transgender identity of Bruce Jenner aka Caitlyn. The sunsets on a Country that has identified with a trans-racial white woman, Rachel Dolezal, pretending to be black that has lost her position as Spokane, Washington Chapter President with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored which was founded by five (5) white progressives in 1909. Yes, Tropic Thunder in the Northwest Territory. The night falls on a Nation shaken to its core by a white racist's persecution of Black Christians in Charleston, SC. Progressives ask that men cower from evil that we may coexist in peace. Our Founding Fathers urge conservatives that mastered the art of silence to stand aloud. Yet, the cry for leadership in America has gone unanswered. Whether it is unheeded is certainly a personal inquiry. Lacking the pay-grade of omniscience to individual query, earnestly I say that there has been no voice in economics, education or government that has succinctly answered how God's sheep are to be defended. It is time for us to have this discussion. If you claim a role amongst God's people as a Shepherd then, it is time to determine whether you are an infidel for leaving them to the defense of those that will leave them unarmed for ideological purposes. Or, will you, as a Faithful Man of God, submit them to the protections adored by the Founding Fathers as "Brits" and upheld by the Natural Laws of God? Men, women and children of God are awaiting a Voice of Faith.

Is there a race problem in America? As long as men have freely thought, there have been those that sorted their preferences by race and ethnicity. Some for the pursuit of good and others, evil. Their preferences of schools. Their preferences of investments. Their preferences of living spaces. Their preferences of working spaces. Their preferences of worship places. Many love to speak of Paul and his writings. Often, ministers preference his writings above those of the teachings of Jesus Christ. It seems a preference. Yet, even Paul realized, after spending years in Arabia, that in order for him to walk in Christ, he would have to forgo and forgive what others thought of him. No, he was not an original Disciple but he was Jesus' Apostle to the Gentiles. While others thought, he taught. While others preferred the comforts of Jewish communities, he preferred the challenges of Gentile nations. His efforts, in spite of the motivations of others, was to conquest the world with the Gospel of Christ. Is there a race problem in America? No. There are race problems in America. The first is the customization of race as the motivation for every human activity good or evil. The same generalists that have misappropriated history to indulge us with the myths and fables of progressive ideologies want us to believe that a certain group of people will be eternally oppressed. They are oppressed in a free land because of the color of their skin--eh, the reaction of those in power to the color of their skin. So hopeless is this fate, not even a Black President or Black Female Attorney can derive a sense of valid accomplishment. Somehow, a preference for the US Constitution in its original state is: (1) an admittance of racial hatred; (2) a means of forcing a "Black" President to fail; and (3) for Conservatives of a Darker Hue, a request for psychiatric treatment as a self-hating, loathing heretic. Many of America's pulpits are maligned by speakers that project the ideal that our God is so great that He can heal a cancer patient but can not help a man, woman or child overcome the preferences of others.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. ~~Isaiah 55:8

I was shaken last week when I heard a major Washington, DC Christian radio station host refer to Emanuel AME as part of "our Black church family". What the heck? Did Christ have preference of church when he died upon the cross? Did He have a preference of church when His Blood poured out for our sins? No! Yet, we have allowed the vain philosophies of men to take precedence over the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If there is a race problem then, maybe we should inspect the sanctuaries of America. Men of religion incite men. Men of Faith inspire men to act righteously.

The second is the offense that the motivation is always more dastardly than the crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been given the definition of a hate crime by Congress.

For the purposes of collecting statistics, Congress has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.”

While motivations, "inner or social stimulus for an action", are indeed insufferably, we once believed that the premium of prosecution was upon the act and not the thought. We took that from our Judeo-Christian history. In the first recorded murder, it was God that placed his premium upon the act and not the thought.

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” ~~Genesis 4:6-7

We once taught that murder was the greatest offense of life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If a man thinks, he can repent of the thoughts and pursue a socially acceptable course. The condemnation was not granted to how and what you thought but that you would not restrain your actions. the crouching sin was murdering an innocent that was unable to defend himself. Our preoccupation with motivation, or thought, has allowed us to focus on controlling hearts and minds of men. It has opened, as well, a door that focuses on race rather than Faith. We have communities of believers that are so sensitive to what a man thought or said before killing another that we have unduly focused our public debates. Even by the standard progressive inquiry of race, nine persons were killed in a church in Charleston, South Carolina. No one insisted that this was Christian persecution. The first cry was race. "Hey Ken, it was race this time!" Yea, but how many times have congregations been led falsely in prayer to eradicate racism when it was not the case at all. Some leaders, so immersed in the Far Left Chicken Circuit that embraces and promotes race baiting, choose to alienate congregates from the principles of the Gospel to enrich themselves with influence and status amongst education, economic and governmental leaders. It's not justice that people want with a great bias on race. It is vengeance. Unfortunately, the Gospel is often corrupted because the baiting scheme sears the minds of those that should prefer "the exercise of authority in vindication of right by assigning reward or punishment." Men of religion satisfy themselves and provoke others by harshly considering the ways of prudent inquiry and opting to advance injustices. Men of Faith pursue the course of Truth, appropriating judgement against the acts of men and offering deliverance to those convicted in thought.

Come and pray. It is a request made of believers often. Theft, Death and Destruction has awful draw amongst mourners. Retroactively, we seek God's face to bring justice, relieve anger, restore loss and help us keep the strongman free. However, it is not the most efficient role for men to react. Pro-activity prepares all for feast and famine. For this sake, it is time for Men of Faith to know that their sheep must be protected and that they must be willing to protect themselves. Abandoning such talks of repealing or curtailing the second amendment is a more profitable pathway. Men of Faith must understand that hunting is not the primary reason that our Founding Fathers observed the natural law of self-defense. As believers are also citizens, it is their duty to preserve defense for the following reasons: (1) enable the mobilization and organization of a militia system; (2) participate in law enforcement; (3) deter tyrannical government; (4) repel foreign invaders; (5) suppress insurrections; and (6) facilitate a natural right of self-defense. Teaching this empowers individuals and families to keep peace in their neighborhoods and cultural institutions, especially churches.

So what you saying Ken is you want people with M-16s walking up and down the aisles of the sanctuaries?

I do not believe that may be necessary. However, I do not believe that many churches' administrators have explored a security plan. Not just one for the Pastor but one, for all congregants. Let's go to the videotape to discern the necessity. Firstly, most churches today are populated by women and children. Long gone are the strong male elders that kept the peace in and around the sanctuary. Imposing men of influence and stature that kept calm when the world would challenge. Men, Married, Southerners Most Likely to Be Gun Owners. Nearly two-thirds of Southern married men own guns. Criminals are aware that the strongmen are absent from churches and schools. Many churches, especially Urban, subscribe to the pro-abortion liberal ideology. Gun ownership is much higher among those who are politically conservative (39%) than among those who are politically liberal (17%). Greater safety is available if the Gospel, which promotes a conservative thought process, is preached rather than vain philosophies. Without formidable resistance, worldly destroyers will find a place of conquest with the greatest advantage. Men of Faith must resist investing in the "turn the other cheek" philosophy that keeps the pews filled with women and promotes one that encourages men to worship, protect and provide. Preach it and individuals and families will come.

Secondly, there is a necessity. If you are Baptist or Non-Denominational, you need to embrace a security plan or encourage conceal carry. Carl Chinn was introduced to the need for security while serving as Building Engineer for Focus on the Family. In 1996, he was a responder in a standoff with an angry gunman who took hostages at the Focus on the Family ministry. Following the attacker’s trial, Chinn began researching and writing on the subject of criminal and other incidents in North American ministries. In 2005, he and others began to develop an intentional security program for New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO. He was one of the team of responders who engaged the killer on December 9, 2007. Yes, America, Christian persecution is alive and well. Chinn has a wonderful group of statistics that would encourage wise men to plan accordingly for Deadly Force Incidents (DFI's) at Faith-Based Organizations in the United States. Since 1999, there have been 971 DFI's and of those, 335 were homicides. Of the 1003 DFI's where a weapon was used, 576 criminals used guns. Why do criminals choose schools and churches? Law-abiding citizens are largely prohibited from possessing guns for self-defense in churches and schools around the country, but they may be heavily and openly armed at an NRA meeting. So where did attacks occur most? Baptist accounted for 219 DFI's (22.5%), Non-denominational (includes those of unknown affiliation) had 211 (21.6%) and Catholic, 142 (14.6%). Jesus did not take us out of the world. Nor did he ask his people to remain in the world defenseless. Men of God must realize that saving the world requires a plan to protect the saved sheep.

'The Underground Professor" Dr. Michael Jones and I, on New Day Black and Red™, focused our attentions on the Second Amendment. On "THE STATE vs GOD: SELF DEFENSE", we presented a Constitutional and Biblical worldview on "the right to bear arms". I encourage you to listen to the show in its entirety. However, I advance a biblical view for the appreciation of this record. Men of God, free your people to defend themselves. It is their natural right. "When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace." The Greek word used for "palace", heautou (Strong's G1438), speaks to "himself, herself, itself, themselves". As the strong man of the House of God, your role is vital to protect the well-being of those that serve and worship in the sanctuary. The Defense offered must be Spiritual and Natural. Proverbs 25:26 speaks, "A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring." The Hebrew term "mowt" (Strong's H4131) speaks to "to be greatly shaken, be moved, be overthrown". It refers to a man falling down specifically. Men of God, we fall down when our Spiritual and Natural Houses are ravaged by the world. Leaving our sheep without defense to the wolves that invade our sanctuaries is unacceptable and should be intolerable. Lastly, we must be willing to face down evil with little collateral damage. Allowing a crazed felon to reload his gun without resistance from his assailed, against the defenseless amongst us, is repugnant. If we knew no better, it is an understandable offense. However, to lack a plan or refuse to seek wisdom, is deplorable. Paul writes, "For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil." Your Voice and Actions minister God's Justice to a world due great wrath. We must admit and preach that evil exists and that the Lord desires His sheep to defend themselves. The Lord Is Our Shepherd and we should not want. No state or man should separate a man from his natural right to defend himself from all evil. We must minister self defense until such time that Jesus must defend us before Our Father.
