The Fourth Self-Evident Truth

“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. . . .”

It seems a difficult thing for those in power to remain humble and remember Who ordains all governments (Romans 13). Instead of confining themselves to “just powers” and governing as true “public servants,” politicians become drunk on power and use their office to amass wealth and influence, forgetting the purpose of government as well as the millions of lives they trample upon.

The elected officials in Washington and all fifty state Capitols need to be reminded that they do not rule over us; we elect them to serve us in our God-appointed governmental system. When they overstep the bounds of their “just powers” then they risk incurring the wrath of God as well as the people.

“Experts and the educated elite have replaced what worked with what sounded good. Society was far more civilized before they took over our schools, prisons, welfare programs, police departments and courts. It's high time we ran these people out of our lives and went back to common sense.” --Walter E. Williams
