Our present state of government meltdown is not the failure of The Constitution, but rather our failure to comply with it. The Founders put adequate checks and balances to keep all three branches of the Federal Government in their lane and from infringing on the rights of the states and the people, but they have been ignored. The answer to almost all of the crises we’re facing today is to go back and comply with “the supreme law of the land,” The Constitution.  

         All three branches of the Federal Government are...

     The American Founding Fathers implemented a brilliant way in The Constitution for resolving all matters that the Federal Government did not have specific authority over: let the states and the people do it. This kept the debate on matters like social issues local, knowing that the best solutions would best be found by the people who would have to live with them. 

     This method also allowed the states to decide differently on issues, thereby testing their solutions without dragging the whole country into it. On the state level, they could more easily adjust and...

Contrary to common belief, nowhere does The United States Constitution state that there must be a separation of church and state. There is only one brief statement in the First Amendment that addresses the relationship between the federal government and religion, which says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” 

How has this misconception that The Constitution mandates a separation of church and state become so prevalent as to so radically change the country and destroy our religious liberty? Charles Spurgeon lamented that he could find ten men who would die...

     The detaching from our constitutional moorings by our government is a reflection of how the church has detached from its biblical moorings. The trampling of justice in our country is a reflection of the lack of justice in the church, where people are quickly declared guilty by slander, gossip, and hearsay without due process. Again, when corruption and darkness grows in our land, we can point to the church for not being the salt and light we are called to be. 

     As citizens in a Republic, we have the responsibility to speak out against the...
