Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2025-290: Remember Fort Sumter

We’ve had a lot of talk over the past couple years about the potential for another Civil War.  The left has been pushing with all their might trying to get people on the right to their flash point.  They believed their own propaganda about red necks and Bible believers.

I wonder if the left is tired of waiting and we are beginning to see them move towards the violence they have tried to generate.  I wonder if they are collectively ready to cross the line of  defiance that triggers the federal government.  Is Los Angeles the new Fort Sumter?  These riots could be the first step.  President Trump has mobilized the National Guard.  He’s brought out the Marines.  Instead of calming down it seems like the left is doubling down.  They are threatening to go on tour.  I was told they were advertising for paid positions as protestors in a city my friends live in.  Reports are that San Francisco is on the verge.  They have plans to start riots all over the country.

What do you do if someone starts a war and nobody comes?  That is one of the silly questions of the 60's.  Actually, we’re kind of seeing that kind of thing in England where people are not even allowed to defend themselves.  What happens when the forces of tyranny and chaos come into your neighborhood to your front door?  What happens when the large numbers of young men who were brought into the country to start an insurrection actually start the insurrection?

We may see the federal government pushing back against the forces of destruction.  They were expecting to get conservative citizens to rise up.  Instead the liberals have exploded and are asking to be slapped down.  How far will this go?  As long as I live in the hill country of Texas and don’t go into the blue cities I think I will be untouched.  If they decide to bring it to us then I hope there are enough American citizens ready to protect their families.  

Pray for peace but not at any price.
