This is an email I received recently from Pastor
Baldwin has it right. But, what the Christian right pastors neglect to realize
is that these Ron Paul netizens are going to grow up
some day & go to the church of their choice - - and, if your message is not
that of Truth they won't be seating themselves in your pews. I know. I am 64,
and long ago gave up trying to find an honest ministry. If Ron Paul was a
minister instead of a doctor, I and millions would listen to the message of His
Truth as delivered by Dr. Paul. Do
you really believe down in your soul that the $5 million Dr. Paul received just
today was from the usual political & religious hacks and rent-seekers who
are seeking something for themselves? If you do, then cherish the tithings you receive now, for they shall diminish as the
real Truth inherits our people. AN APPEAL TO MY FELLOW
PASTORS http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin412.htm By
Pastor Chuck Baldwin NewsWithViews.com Recently, Consider how Congressman Paul's message
impacted Pastor Jim Hartman of the Assembly of God church in Integrity: that is the issue drawing
millions to Ron Paul, including young people. The night before I spoke, nearly
700 students gathered at Ron Paul doesn't recruit artisan spin
writers and bloggers to wear down those who might
question his past dealings. He doesn't need to. There are no missing
hard-drives, ethics violations, and taxpayer funds used for personal use that
need to be spun away. He still refuses to participate in the lucrative
Congressional pension fund and returns a portion of his Congressional office
budget back to the U.S. Treasury each year. This kind of integrity moved Pastor
Hartman, the students at Ron Paul has been fighting for the right
to life from the beginning of his public career. Dr. Paul is rock-solid on
pro-life. After all, he has helped over 4,000 women deliver their babies into
the world in his obstetrics practice in Is Ron Paul a libertarian, as some use in
a throw-away line, often intended to move the listener to discard him without
thought? Yes, on areas of fiscal, economic and judicial liberty, he is. But, he
is also a social conservative and a Constitutionalist. Ron Paul's priorities are right with
marriage. He and his wife, Carol, have been married for more than fifty years.
He believes marriage should be between a man and a woman and defends that
principle with his vote, where and when he has the Constitutional authority to
do so. For example, Dr. Paul strongly supports the Defense of Marriage Act
(DOMA). Candidly, though, Ron Paul does not believe (and neither do I) that the
U.S. Government needs to be defining that which God has already defined in His
Word. Where pastors often become confused about
Ron Paul is that when he is resisting the unconstitutional centralization of
our federal government, he is often perceived as being anti-family. Many in
these pro-family movements themselves have been co-opted into believing that
the solutions to our family problems come in the form of more unconstitutional
federal legislation and programs. And when one does not agree with these
unconstitutional remedies, they conclude that he or she is
"anti-family." Such people mean well but are confused. In fact, adherence to the Constitution
protects our freedom of speech and assembly; our freedom of worship; our right
to keep and bear arms; our right to a trial by jury; the right to be secure in
our own homes against police overreach; our right to witness for Christ in
public, as a Christian; the right to own property; the right to not be deprived
of life or property without due process of law; the right to face our accusers,
and the right to keep government local and limited. Keeping government local and limited is
the cornerstone doctrine of American government. Ron Paul understands this more
than any other candidate running today. Most of the problems that we are now
dealing with socially, culturally, financially, etc., stem from Accordingly, Consider how it has been federal courts
that have banned prayer in school, and legalized abortion and homosexual
marriage. Even in the liberal State of The solutions to these problems do not
reside in more federal legislation. All that does is strengthen the scope and
power of the federal judiciary. The only ones who have anything to fear
from Ron Paul are those who believe in Big Government. You see, Ron Paul is actually calling on
us pastors and Christians to stop seeing the federal government as one "in
whom we live and move and have our being." Jesus Christ is our Savior and
Lord, not the federal government. Have we not, in a material way, set up the
federal government as our functional Lord and Savior? When we look to the federal
government to solve our moral and spiritual problems, that
is exactly what we are doing. When it comes to the war in Soon after 9/11, Congressman Paul
introduced H.R. 3076, the September 11 Marque and
Reprisal Act of 2001. According to Paul, "A letter of marque
and reprisal is a constitutional tool specifically designed to give the
president the authority to respond with appropriate force to those non-state
actors who wage war against the This is precisely what President Thomas
Jefferson did when If the One thing that Pastor Hartman brought up
in our meeting in Ron Paul is not Ron Paul's non-interventionist and
constitutional foreign policy approach would help, not hurt, Also consider this: according to published
reports such as this one in the Houston
Chronicle, Ron Paul is receiving more donations from military personnel
than any other Presidential candidate in either party. Think seriously about
this. Our active duty and retired military personnel clearly endorse with their
own contributions Ron Paul's non-interventionist position above all others.
In the end, if the candidate is a sincere
Christian, he will all the more readily obey his or her oath to preserve,
protect, and defend the Constitution of the Ron Paul lives his Christian faith and
takes his oath to the Constitution seriously. What more could we ask for in a
Presidential candidate? Every Christian pastor should seriously consider
Congressman Ron Paul. Here is his website:
