I've been too busy to write up a nice sized post lately, or even (probably you already noticed) to do quotes every week. But I'll do my best and try to have one out by the end of this week.

And why do we like FDR?

“I should like to have it said of my first administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I would like to have it said of my second administration that in it these forces met their master." ---FDR

Quote of the Week

"Dead fish go with the stream, living ones against it." --William Tiptaft

"Submission or Insurrection?" written by Bret L McAtee

“It is the submission only of the body, not of the soul. Humbled before the God who chastises him, the Calvinist remains the relentless judge of the despot who oppresses him. There are submissions more deadly to tyranny than insurrections would be.”

Emil Doumergue--Calvin la fondateur des libertes modernes – pg. 14

This may be the best quote I’ve read in a very very long time.

Christians in America submit with their bodies to the pagan state but their spirits burn hot against the state for its grasping at the prerogatives of God, for its effeminate attempt to provide temporal salvation, and for its ongoing purposeful attempt to reduce the citizenry to abject slavery. We may submit with our bodies but but such submission does not communicate that the wicked state rules us or sits in judgment of us. No – a thousand times no – we as Calvinists, sit in relentless judgment of the Despot and Usurper. The Calvinist knows that it is only a matter of time until God sets things rights and the Calvinist can patiently wait until that time arrives. Because this is so the Calvinist can laugh at the Despots usurpations and tyranny because the Calvinist knows that payday someday is coming down on the Despotic state. It is these kind of submissions that are more deadly to tyranny then a thousand insurrections would be. This kind of submission is the wind of behavior that will reap the whirlwind of certain coming insurrection.

Quote of the Week

"A people who would trade freedom for security are a people who have abandoned Jesus Christ, who, because he makes us free keeps us secure. When we look for security – which is a form of salvation – in human agencies we turn our back on Christ and embrace idols, and the result is that God turns us over to be enslaved by those idols we have turned to in lieu of the Lord Jesus Christ." --Bret L McAtee

Quote of the Week

"Those who will not exhibit self-control or self-government often find themselves being governed by harsher means. Better to control yourself than to loose your freedoms at the control of others." --Gary DeMar, God and Government
