Summary

Conservatism without God is just another bureaucracy

The power of conservatism comes from the fact that it exists to protect our God-given rights against the avarice, hubris and greed of human flesh. Without God, conservatism is just a set of opinions some people turned into a governing document. We have the rights to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness . . . but, why? Because God gives us all of that and we get to choose how we steward those gifts. From Life and Liberty often flows the gift of family. A CNN guest announced that it’s not “conservative” to “ban” CRT and sexually explicit books from schools, she claims that is big government (but not so when schools force porn upon kids.) She’s wrong . . . Yet, without God, who are we to proclaim the superiority of our belief that kids should not be taught in schools that it’s exciting and fun and normal to have sex with as many people as possible before 8th grade? Leftists and Party bosses can argue their ideas as well. While we can make the case with psychology and biology that kids aren’t ready for that, that data shows it harms them, none of that has authority, especially in our fallen world. But, it’s self-evident that God gave parents the job of stewarding kids, not the government and God is quite clear about matters of sexuality. If we hope to conserve the family, we must conserve the fact that our rights come from God. People can be brilliant conservative minds and effective patriots without believing in or following God, but conservatism absent God is just gentle bureaucracy.

What does God Say?

God loves us and, like the perfect parent He is, He wants us to gain from His wisdom.

Proverbs 3:5-7

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.

When Peter and the apostles were being threatened with death by the religious bureaucrats for continuing to preach about Jesus, Peter made it very clear that, when it comes to matters of faith, we answer only to God.

Acts 5: 25-32

25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them.

27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest.

28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”

29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! 30The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. 32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” Sen. Kennedy: "Tell me what Article V of the Constitution does."Biden Judicial Nominee: "Article V is not coming to mind at the moment."Sen. Kennedy: "How about Article II?"Biden Judicial Nominee: "Neither is Article II"Outrageous.
