Strategic Focus for Sunday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
The Battle for the Survival of the Nation! – Part 27
The President’s Advisory 1776 Commission Report – Part 6
“He who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
James 1:25
America was founded on “the perfect law of liberty” and we need hope-filled, patriotic vision in order to continue as “doers of the work.” Only by the blessings of God will we be able to remain afloat in the troubled waters that the “faux” and foul administration of Joe Biden has brought us into!
Let these words of Ronald Reagan, our 40th US President, inspire us and remind us of our duty to protect and fight… not only for our own freedom but for that of generations to come!
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children
what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Pray.
Today, as we continue with the 1776 Commission Report, we will be covering the second part of the chapter on A CONSTITUTION OF PRINCIPLES. Let us read and pray into it with hearts full of gratitude for this great document!
For the Founders, the principle that just government requires the consent of the governed in turn, requires republicanism, because the chief way that consent is granted to a government on an ongoing basis is for the people’s participation in the political process. This is the reason the Constitution “guarantee[s] to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” Pray.
Under the United States Constitution, the people are sovereign. But the people do not directly exercise their sovereignty, for instance, by voting directly in popular assemblies. Rather, they do so indirectly, through representative institutions. This is, on the most basic level, a practical requirement in a Republic with a large population and extent of territory. But it is also intended to be a remedy to the defects common to all republics up to that time.
The framers of the Constitution faced a twofold challenge.
- They had to assure those alarmed by the historical record that the new government was not too republican in simply copying the old, failed forms;
- while also reassuring those concerned about overweening centralized power that the government of the new Constitution was republican enough to secure equal natural rights and prevent the reemergence of tyranny.
The main causes of prior republican failure were class conflict and tyranny of the majority. In the simplest terms, the largest single faction in any republic would tend to band together and unwisely wield their numerical strength against unpopular minorities, leading to conflict and eventual collapse. Pray.
The Founders’ primary remedy was union itself. Against the old idea that republics had to be small, the Founders countered that the very smallness of prior republics all but guaranteed their failure.
- In small republics, the majority can more easily organize itself into a dominant faction;
- in large republics, interests become too numerous for any single faction to dominate.
The inherent or potential partisan unwisdom of a dominant faction also would be tempered by representative government. Rather than the people acting as a body, the people would instead select officeholders to represent them. This would refine and enlarge the public views, by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country, and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations.
We pray:
- That what we’ve just read would be true for every elected official, from the highest governmental level down to the smallest local office. Pray.
- For those who do not live up to this expectation will be removed from office and replaced by those who would serve the best interests of this country. Pray
The separation of powers would work in concert with the principle of representation by incentivizing individual officeholders to identify their personal interests with the powers and prerogatives of their offices, and thus, keep them alert to the danger of encroachments from other branches and offices. The Founders asserted that these innovations, and others, combined to create a republicanism that was at once old as well as new: true to the eternal principles and timeless ends of good government, but awake to and corrective of the deficiencies in prior examples of popular rule. Pray.
One important feature of our written Constitution is the careful way that it limits the powers of each branch of government – that is, states what those branches may do, and by implication what they may not do. This is the real meaning of “limited government”: not that the government’s size or funding levels remain small, but that government’s powers and activities must remain limited to certain carefully defined areas and responsibilities, as guarded by bicameralism, federalism, and the separation of powers.
We pray:
- That the intricacy of the forethought that went into our founding documents will not only be appreciated but will cause us to desire to see them upheld, no matter who is in political power. This must be so. Pray.
The Constitution was intended to endure. But because the Founders well knew that no document written by human beings could ever be perfect or anticipate every future contingency, they provided for a process to amend the document – but only by popular decision-making, and not by ordinary legislation or judicial decree. Pray.
The first 10 amendments, which would come to be known as the Bill of Rights, were included at the demand of those who were especially concerned about vesting the federal government with too much power and who wanted an enumeration of specific rights that the new government lawfully could not transgress. But all agreed that substantive rights are not granted by government. Any just government exists only to secure these rights. They specifically noted in the Ninth Amendment, that the Bill of Rights was a selective and not an exclusive list. That is, the mere fact that a right is not mentioned in the Bill of Rights is neither proof nor evidence that it does not exist. Pray.
Frederick Douglass in Hillsdale, Michigan, January 1863
It is important to note the Founders’ understanding of three of these rights that are decisive for republican government and the success of the Founders’ project.
- Our first freedom, religious liberty, is foremost a moral requirement of the natural freedom of the human mind. It is also the indispensable solution to the political–religious problem that emerged in the modern world. Faith is both a matter of private conscience and public import, which is why the Founders encouraged religious free exercise but barred the government from establishing any one national religion. The point is not merely to protect the state from religion, but also to protect religion from the state, so that religious institutions would flourish and pursue their divine mission among men. Pray.
- Like religious liberty, freedom of speech and of the press is required by the freedom of the human mind. More plainly, it is a requirement for any government in which the people choose the direction of government policy. To choose requires public deliberation and debate. A people that cannot publicly express its opinions, exchange ideas, or openly argue about the course of its government is not free. Pray.
- Finally, the right to keep and bear arms is required by the fundamental natural right to life: no man may justly be denied the means of his own defense. The political significance of this right is hardly less important. An armed people is a people capable of defending their liberty no less than their lives and is the last, desperate check against the worst tyranny. Pray.
We pray:
- That the citizens of this nation will realize what a treasure we have in our founding documents, and that we will teach them to our children, so they will be treasured by generation after generation of Americans! Pray.
- That as we delve more deeply into our founding documents, that our hearts will profoundly resonate with the Founders in their aspirations for this country. Pray.
- That President Trump will continue to speak out for our freedoms, and what he says will be heard and received by the people of this nation. Pray.
- That he will set an “appointed place” and an “appointed time” for our meeting with him! Pray.

Please encourage call participants, who share Bible verses and important info, to repeat what they shared in a comment here. Someone mentioned today a resource to purchase Constitution booklets, but I cannot find this anywhere on the internet. I would have loved to take action on that.
