Second Amendment Victories


This evening I am happy to report about two victories for the law abiding citizens of the United States of America!

Of course, the most well-known case that was recently decided by the US Supreme Court is
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ET AL. v. HELLER. Praise God, in a 5-4 decision, freedom has won! Americans do have the freedom to own and use guns for self-defense! It is a God-given right protected by the Second Amendment and I am thankful that was upheld in this court case.
Also, recently Ohio has finally passed a Castle Doctrine (Senate Bill 184) into law. It goes into effect in 90 days. I applaud the House and Senate, as well as our Governor Strickland for passing this. It has been a long time coming!

These are two victories, but the battle is not over. Do not, for a second think that your gun rights will be safe with a President Obama in the White House.

Keep praying and keep fighting!
For more information, please read the article I have written on A Biblical Look At Gun Control. Yes, God is sovereign but we are also responsible to protect ourselves. Jesus Himself said, "...But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." (Luk 22:36).

Quote From April and May

"In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government, ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people..."
-Noah Webster, author of the American Dictionary of the English Language (1828)


How refreshing it is to go back and read the views of such men as Noah Webster! It is amazing to me how that some people, in their own wisdom (?) have decided to remove God from the public school system, government, etc. Mr. Webster is called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education." Sadly, very few are following the advice from him.

Even in rural Ohio, teachers are being forced to remove their Bibles from public view. The Christian religion that this country was founded on has been replaced with secular atheistic humanism. Children are being brain-washed and molded by the government to believe everything opposite of the Bible.

"The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." Psalm 9:17

We need to pray for our country!
