Note: This posting is a rare exception to my theme of coping with blindness.
Do you want to shape our nation’s history, or are you satisfied with merely being a spectator? If you are too busy playing with your Wii, texting your friends with insignificant messages that they don’t really care about, or if “Dancing with the Stars” is important to you, stop reading. On the other hand, if God, family and country mean something to you, then you might be able to make a difference. But this job is not for everyone and wanting is not enough, you must be willing to act. So what is the job?
Defending the Constitution.
Job Title- Patriot
Qualifications- Applicants must be a US citizen, (or working to be one) and want to be free.
Job Description- The successful candidate is willing to become familiar with the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the difference between a republic and democracy and understand there are others opposing your work. The truly successful candidate will also teach others these concepts, and other concepts deemed necessary and appropriate to freedom.
Supervisor: Your conscience.
Compensation: The blessings of liberty.
Suggested training material: Bearing the Title of Liberty in the Latter Days, an e-book authored by Thomas Taylor, which can be found at http://www.theconstitution-ourpoliticalreligion.com/
Does this job interest you? Keep in mind that the position is not easy and too few will apply. But also remember the words of Samuel Adams. “It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires in the people’s minds.”

Thank you for your interest in the position.
P.S. Please visit the blog regularly as I will post at least once a week. Also, please tell a friend about this exciting, challenging and rewarding position!
What a neat post! Thank you for it. I know many people who think the problem is too far gone and who, since they are not "of this world", will not be involved. How would you respond to those people?
ReplyDeleteThe Bible contains many references regarding being judged from the book of life. (Philip.4:3;Rev. 3:5; 13:8; 17:8; 20:12; 21:27; 22:19; cf. Dan. 12:1–4; Luke 10:20)
ReplyDeleteI believe those who have an understanding of what is going on and fail to act on that knowledge will be held accountable when their own book is being reviewed. For those who think the problem is “too far gone”, I would say they have been deceived, lack understanding or faith. (Or a combination of these.) The contest over freedom is a matter of faith.

The fight to preserve our Constitution will require a great deal of faith because as Paul stated, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Although we struggle against the powers of darkness, our faith can overcome even the kingdom of the devil. As Paul wrote to the Hebrews, we too, can “…through faith subdue kingdoms…”
