Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

November 27, 2008

Among the blessings for which Americans should give thanks this day is this: We live in a country in which politics is not a life-and-death proposition.

The growth of government has expanded and deepened the role of politics in our culture, as people contend for the power to regiment each other?s lives and live at each other?s expense.

Unwelcome and dangerous as this may be, however, America remains less politicized than many other contemporary societies. We still prefer private action to government intervention, and trust those with whom with do business much more than those who write laws and issue regulations .

The government ruling us little resembles the system our founders created. Our popular culture is openly hostile to the Christian heritage on which our liberties depend. On this Thanksgiving we should pray that our nation will rediscover the truth that it is only through God?s grace, made tangible in His son, Jesus Christ, that we are ultimately made free.
