Do Ordain and Establish

“Ordain” means “to enact or establish by law, edict, etc.” “Establish” means “to bring into being on a firm or permanent basis.”

We the People ordained and established the Constitution, not a king, emperor, or any other kind of sovereign ruler. We have the rule of law, not the arbitrary rule of one person or group. The Sovereign Law upon which this simple and elegant document is based is none other than the Law of God.

At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, James Madison proposed the three branches of government based on Isaiah 33:22, “For the Lord is our Judge, the Lord is our Lawgiver, the Lord is our King; He will save us.”

John Quincy Adams later said, “The law given from Sinai was a civil and municipal code as well as a moral and religious code” and that “vain indeed would be the search among the writings of secular history to find so broad, so complete and so solid a basis of morality as the Ten Commandments lay down. “

No matter how often secularists deny it, there is no arguing with Romans 13:1: “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”

Throughout history, God has allowed nations to rise and fall. If we don’t do something to turn this country around, it may be that He has had enough and will allow the United States to fall.

"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." –Benjamin Franklin
