A father congratulated his daughter on social media for winning an award. In so doing, she became the object of people who get their jollies from being hateful, rude, and threatening—in short, harassing other people online.
This father had the resources to dig into the history of the scoundrels behind the comments. They believed they were safe and anonymous, but he uncovered them. There were lots of comments under several names, however, there were only three individuals making the comments and threats.
He tracked the individuals down, exposed them for their vile attacks. It eventually came to the attention of their employers—or former employers.
No one has the right to demean, slander or threaten another person. We have unalienable rights before God our creator, so—
-Value and worth are assigned to all humans by God.
Holding to America’s creed and affirming “original intent” does matter. All three branches of government increasingly ignore the natural rights basis of the Constitution and, as a result, our rights as individuals are eroding.
Is it important to preserve our form of government? Ronald Reagan is quoted saying, “If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.”
We are in a battle between right and wrong, good and evil. Most people miss that because they are distracted by what Satan throws out to distract us. Take note, God does hear, and God will judge.
Genesis 7:1 "And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 13) In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
Genesis 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 23) The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came unto Zoar. 24) Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven;
Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. 11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12) For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
