THE BATTLE OVER VALUES

Values dictate institutional structures as well as life- styles. More importantly, values are the belief systems that individuals have concerning what is right and what is wrong. Therefore, values help shape institutional structures, personality identities, as well as personal lifestyle choices. For exam- ple, valuing Human Rights and Civil Rights are core val- ues of America’s democratic system of governance based upon spiritual-moral truths and constitutional rights. Thus, America’s governmental system is instituted to secure God-given Natural Rights buttressed by free will consent of the governed Leadership mentality is about values and honor, and more importantly: “the fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honour is humility.” (Proverbs 15: 33). 

President Trump’s leadership mentality is about me, myself, and I. This is why President Trump’s governing policies are devastatingly bad for America; but good for Russia and China, because they create internal confusion and socio-economic and political conflicts in American society. Can America achieve a more perfect union post-Trump Administration? Individuals who use divisive rhetoric often lack a forward-looking perspective, which is important for ensuring the well-being and development of future generations. 

President Trump has absolutely no vision for the future of the country, but he does have a vision for his nuclear family’s wealth and well-being. America, we are witnessing organized governmental wickedness: the golden rule versus the golden calf? President’s Trump’s obscene leadership mentality and behavior is off-the-chart. Therefore, we are witnessing first-hand the balkanization of American society as well as the politicizing of the military system. President Trump is attempting to centralize absolute power in the Executive Branch. Unfortunately, President Trump does not see three branches of government as equal. Question: where is the counter narrative from The GOP to the prevailing insanity of the MAGA-Cult? The Grand Ole Party is not so grand, because the GOP refuses to acknowledge the spiritual-moral truths written in the Preamble and the U. S. Constitution; that all individuals are created equal, as defined by God-given natural rights. Hence, government is instituted of individuals to secure Natural Rights.

Will someone please tell President Trump and his MAGA-Cult Followers that wisdom is mightier that physical force. Love is mightier than hate. Truths mightier than lies. More importantly, God is light, and there is no darkness in him. America, there is no evil in God. God only hates sin, and sin is sin. No little sin or big sin. This is why all individuals must learn to live in the light (truth) of God, because: “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1: 6-8). Christian Right Evangelicals racism, sexism, classism, and Trumpism is sin. God hates sin. Therefore, when Christians deny the reality of sin, they cannot claim to belong to God. Therefore, if individuals claim to be Holy and say they have no sin, they lie. Get Right With God; and live by His truth that equal is equal, not more or less equal. We are in a spiritual battle for the constitutional soul of America.
