Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

February 16, 2009

In Genesis we read about a war among the evil kings of the ?Cities of the Plain? in which Lot, Abram?s kinsman, was taken captive.

Abram mounted an armed rescue of Lot, and in the process he came into possession of a large amount of goods that had been stolen from the King of Sodom. Those goods were wealth amassed by that King through the lawless plunder of the people he ruled.

Invited by the King of Sodom to keep the loot as a reward, Abram refused, saying that he would not let it be said that the King of Sodom had made him rich.

Arbam?s refusal to participate in plunder stands in stark contrast to the attitude of Idaho Governor Butch Otter and other Republicans who opposed the so-called ?Stimulus Package,? yet are eager to share in nearly a trillion dollars? worth of plundered wealth.

Men of principle don?t consent to receive stolen property.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
