Civil Law -- Notable Quotable

As we gear up for the elections on Tuesday, may this truth from the 17th Century remain with us before we cast any votes...

"If you take away God, you take away conscience, and thereby all measures and rules of good and evil. And how can any law be made when the measure and standard of them are removed? All good laws are founded upon the dictates of conscience and reason, upon common sentiments in human nature, which spring from a sense of God; so that as the foundation is demolished, the whole superstructure must tumble down. A man then could be a thief, a murderer, an adulterer, and could not in a strict sense be considered an offender. The worst actions could not be evil, if a man were a god to himself, a law to himself."

-- Stephen Charnock (1628–1680)

No politician is going to save this nation or us. No political party is going to save this nation or us. No movement of the people is going to save this nation or us. You know that that task is reserved for our Sovereign Lord.

Repent! Judgment is coming!
