The "gods" of the American Judicial System

(This was previously posted on my myspace on July 8, 2005)

Due to the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Ten Commandments, the Supreme Court "justices" have now elevated themselves as gods. This is in their own mind, of course.

"For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God." -- Romans 8:6-8 (emphasis added)

However, by removing the Ten Commandments from the inside of the building, where it would be visible to them, they have placed their laws and their judgments over the laws and judgments of God.

This is how I see it happening: Every day, the "justices" see God's Law written inside and outside the building. It burns into their conscience every time they see it. After a while, they can't stand to see, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," "YOU SHALL NOT COVET," "YOU SHALL NOT STEAL." By the time a decision comes to remove them, they jump on the opportunity to ease their conscience, and vote "Yes" to remove the Ten Commandments.

Whether or not this was their motivation, they are actually attesting to the real power of God's Law. Why remove it if it doesn't matter anyway? If it's not true, why bother caring about it in the first place?

I pray that we all ask God to break the hearts of the "justices," and show them, through their own conscience, that His Law is true. Remember, they are still on the ouside of the building, as a reminder to the outside world. The justices STILL KNOW they're out there, too. This could leave room to let God move their hearts towards Him. PRAY FOR THEM.
