Proclaim Liberty

The recent "I'm stepping down" announcement by Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin caught almost everyone off guard. And it has been rather entertaining watching and listening to the various talking heads and surfing the blogosphere for reactions. Nearly everyone has an opinion. Most of the chatter focuses upon Palin's chances of becoming the Republican presidential nominee for the 2012 election. Which brings me to my reason for this post.

I'm not at all convinced that this unique lady even wants to be president. After all, look at all she and her family have had to deal with in the last eight months.

I think rather that Sarah Palin is more of a cultural warrior. She has deep convictions. She's willing to stand for what she thinks is right regardless of the ugliness of the press and the rejection of her political opponents. She has a quality that very few in politics have--she doesn't seem to need the approval of others for her own sense of self-worth or well-being.

We Americans, and even many of we Christians, have become so caught up in politics that we have lost sight of something very important. Our help lies not in a president, in Congress, or in any human entity.

Our help lies in God and in Him alone. We seem to have lost sight of this extremely important fact.

Whether Sarah Palin has hurt her chances of becoming president is not important. What is important is that she hears from God and obeys Him. She says she has and that she is.

Our battle is not ultimately political. It is first spiritual and secondarily cultural.

I have a hunch that whatever Sarah does, it will ultimately boil down to the title of this blog: "Proclaim Liberty." And is that not what we really need in this battle?

If our nation is to remain free, our deliverance will not come from those with political power. Our deliverance will come from embracing the truth. Remember, it was Jesus who said, "You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free."

But how can we embrace the truth if we do not know the truth? And how can we know the truth unless someone shares it with us?

That, I've determined, is my primary job these days. Proclaim the truth. And because truth sets us free, I will also, in the process, be proclaiming liberty.

The American mind and soul have been captured by a false religion. Call it materialism. Call it humanism. Call it relativism. Call it me-ism. Call it whatever you want. The bottom line is that millions of our American countrymen have willingly walked into a prison of poor thinking and now sit at a table set with mind-rotting food. As a result, their worldview has become diseased, deformed and deadly.

But there is an army of patriots emerging from the mist. And this army is in the beginning stages of establishing a "beachhead" on our enemy's shores. It's early and we've barely even begun to mobilize.

We are armed with the truth, the superior view and thinking of our nation's gifted and anointed founders. We are reacquainting ourselves with these great men and their ideas. We are equipping ourselves with the weapons we will need to lead us to victory on this ideological field of battle.

Multiculturalism is a myth. All cultures are not equal. All ideas do not lead to the same place. We are beginning to rediscover that America has been an exception in history, a one-of-a-kind miracle in a fallen world. And that our existence must be credited to what our founders called Providence.

"Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof." Leviticus 25:10

The above Scripture verse also appears on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.
