Maintaining The Constitution, Part B:

Maintaining the Constitution, part B:

This is the second half of one of the lectures at the book Mormon emergency preparedness conference I attended about a year ago. The topic is on maintaining the Constitution, a presentation by Sharan Anderson. Any misinformation or inaccuracy of my notes is the fault of the note taker.

We must remain a moral people. Freedom and morality must be partners. Moral is knowing what is right and wrong. If we interpret right and wrong then we can be motivated to do what we want and interpret what is considered to be right. God and government are natural partners. The government tells us what to do and religion tells us what is moral and what ‘should’ be done.
1802 in a letter to a church, Thomas Jefferson’s letters of separated government from church has been misinterpreted.
One of the problems with political correctness is that it’s forcing the interpretation of what is right and wrong, morally, and restricts people from standing up for moral issues.
A quote exists, we cannot legislate what is right and wrong. But law does tell us what is right and wrong. Morality will always be leglisted by God.
Secular humanism is the religion that has replaced Christianity where man now worships himself. Man can change right and wrong and do what he wants. It’s an effort to separate Morality and religion.
If we don’t live Christian values we will lose the constitution.
We must be responsible. This involves right, balances and duty.
Rights are provided by God. They in inevitable. If we have the right there is a duty related to that right to pay for that right you possess. The duties tie into Christian principles.
One right we have the right to be treated equality. This does not mean the right to have equal stuff it means equal opportunity. You’re equal before God and before the Law.
The minute we make equality to cover same level of stuff or social activities. We end up doing a redistribution of wealth.
When we were given the bill of rights, they were very precise on defining which rights are from God.
There are people who have devoted a dependent mentality. It developed a welfare state. When some are asked what is entitlements means. Some feel that for people who don’t work will be helped by the government. In truth, most people are living on an entitlement. We have the benefit of the blessing of America but we don’t participate in local government and responsibilities. We should stay busy in doing good things.
During colonial times, people were on pins and needles waiting to see what the government was busy. When it became available it was printed in all the newspapers and the people read them. The Federalists papers explained more details. Today most people don’t even know what the constitution says. Those that don’t participate in our government are part of the entitlement community. We are challenged to start reading the constitution.
We must protect the constitution of the United States. Must keep the three groups of government in their original powers and responsibilities. Only 26 powers were delegated to the Federal government. If one state fixed a specific problem they can show themselves as an example for other states to resolve similar problems. An example of an early version of Obama Care was tested in the state of Massa chutes. If it don’t work and was pushed at the Federal levels and is now failing in a larger scale.
Get involved in your community. On local government she is involved with stopping the advancement of Agenda 21 that is blossoming in city government.
At a county level, we fought against $75 million to will be matched by the Fed government to replace the bus rout in Orem/Provo.
In the state level, investigate where the new Prison will be located.
Be involved in local and state government. We need to combine with people of a similar mindset to run more effectively to do good four our country.
We need to prove to God that we care for American and are willing to work to preserve it for his blessings. We show God we mean business. Don’t give up. Pray, learn and do. In the end, we win. The prophets have prophesied that.
President McKay said there would be six questions we would be asked in our exit interview with the savior: The six questions was what did you do to make your world a better place.
The United States today is locked into pain and suffering. one person said American are in pain for lost jobs, high taxes, regulations are strangling us. the economy is strangling us. Our leaders lie, trapped in debt. and slavery because of our debt. Why are these problems not solved, because we have abandoned the principles of the constitution.
