“A decline of public morals in the United States will probably be marked by the abuse of the power of impeachment as a means of abusing political adversaries or rejecting them from office.” – Alex deTocqueville, 1835
Franklin Graham and Eric Metaxas are Christian leaders with whom I agree that there is a “demonic” origin to the opposition to President Trump.
After three years of failed “Russian Collusion” allegations then months of devilish impeachment accusations, the narrative invented to remove our duly elected president continues shamelessly. Discerning and fair-minded Americans see through the charade, believing “the recoil will be worse than the projectile.”
Let your Congressional Representative know that you are praying and what you think about impeachment. Follow the link to send a message.
The framers of our Constitution wisely made clear that impeachment is a legal not a partisan process. Their core issues were “treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors” not personality or ideology. God directed them providentially lest a precedent ever be set that’s destructive to our nation.
Discern What’s Reported
An honest media has tremendous potential but today’s biased one is misleading masses. Consider an example currently the focus of a film, “Richard Jewell” by Clint Eastwood that depicts how a man’s entire life and reputation were destroyed by deceptive press reporting. The parallel of what’s occurring before our very eyes with President Trump is chilling.
Living in Atlanta during the ’96 Olympics, I watched firsthand the nightmare of a hero who saved thousands of lives only to be vilified by the media, ultimately ruining his reputation followed by his premature death at the age of 44. Richard Jewell was a security guard biased media targeted, portraying him as a terrorist and from their elitist perch influenced millions to believe a lie. Even the FBI was involved in the manipulation (sound familiar?). Eventually CNN, NBC, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution and the New York Post were exposed. They all were sued with most paying out large settlements.
Days ago USA TODAY screamed a front page headline, “Report: The Evidence is Clear.” Yet Presidents Trump and Zalensky (Ukraine) each stated clearly that there was absolutely no pressure to begin investigations and that Ukraine never took action to get military aid already released!
“Larry, are you telling us that trusted institutions will deceive the public and cover up the truth?”
Go see the fact-based film, “Dark Waters” now in theaters exposing how Dupont, one of the world’s largest corporations (“Our values of safety, health and environmental stewardship are more than words”), continued using toxic chemicals for decades after learning they were poisonous, causing fatal diseases.
“Equal Justice Under Law?”
Living in the DC area for 24 years, I pondered the promise engraved atop the Supreme Court building: “Equal Justice Under Law.” This is the societal ideal undergirding our entire legal system and has historical antecedents dating back to ancient Greece.
Our Judeo-Christian heritage provided a pledge to everyone that America stands for equal protection and equal accountability. The magnificent Lady Justice statue located in three places inside the building dates back to ancient Rome. It symbolizes these ideals in a blindfolded woman (assuring fairness) holding balanced scales in one hand (representing impartiality) and a sword in the other (representing punishment).
Lady Justice ranks as one of the most recognized statues in America. Tragically, what is increasingly not recognized in our society is the ideal she symbolizes. A scripture accurately describes America today: “Justice is turned backward, and righteousness stands far off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter” (Is.59:14).
God’s Unwavering Stand for Justice
A false balance is abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight (Prv.11:1).
The Bible makes it clear that decisions rendered that are not impartial are an “abomination.” They are wicked because under the guise of justice they are destructive to people and society. You must not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. But you must have a perfect and just weight – a perfect and just measure you must have, so that your days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. For all who do such things and all who act unjustly are an abomination to the Lord your God (Deut. 25:14-16).
What’s unfolding in the current impeachment investigation is far removed from what the framers of our Constitution envisioned. Respecting the office of the presidency, fellow civil servants were to proceed with consistency and integrity in adjudicating high standing officials held to a high standard.
Trump’s Treatment
Is President Trump’s current treatment by the opposition party demonstrating consistency or hypocrisy compared to past presidents? An opening statement at the judiciary committee was: “His misconduct was worse than any prior president.” True?
On the wall of my study are these words: “Consistency is a daily deposit in the bank of trust.” In America the overwhelming majority do not trust the media and the government because they perceive hypocrisy instead of consistency.
President Trump came into office vowing to “drain the swamp” of the corruption destroying the fabric of our nation. Aware of Ukraine’s corrupt history, he as the nation’s chief law enforcement official, initiated investigation into their current status as they wanted $400 million in military aid. Democrat opponents still bitter from him winning the 2016 election, saw this as another opportunity to derail him by saying he bullied Ukraine’s president (while ignoring what former VP Joe Biden did and caught on video demanding a Ukrainian official’s firing or else forfeit American aid!).
That’s what this whole drama is about while millions question why this initiative is cast as “criminal” in comparison to past presidents’ misconduct being overlooked.
Here’s the Deal: God requires us to “do justice” (Mic. 6:8); to maintain “honor”, not mock and malign our leaders (1Pet. 2:17) plus prioritize praying “for all who are in authority… lifting up holy hands, without wrath or contentiousness” (1Tim. 2:1-2, 8). In light of God’s commands and the absolute importance of honesty and consistency in the current impeachment proceedings, do any of us really believe President Trump is being treated fairly?
