Why is government so involved in nearly every aspect of our lives? Because Christians have been disobedient. We weren’t supporting our parents and grandparents, so the government gave us Social Security. We weren’t taking care of education properly, so government gave us public school and so on. Once the government started doing those jobs, we really gave up doing those jobs.
What is the solution? How do we shrink the size of government? We have to start doing those jobs again, and do them better than the government is doing them. Someone on Facebook said that sounds nice, but what are you willing to do? Here is what I told them:
1. I’m willing to homeschool my children in spite of being forced to pay property taxes that are used to educate other people’s children.
2. Lord willing, I’ll be able to rip up my Social Security checks in spite of being forced to pay into it.
3. I’m willing to come when my neighbors call to help to protect them from intruders, so that we don’t have to call the cops.
4. I’m willing to never call the cops/government on Christians because I’d rather be wronged than go to unbelievers to solve disputes as Scripture commands.
5. I’m willing to help my in-laws in their old age so that they might tear up their Social Security checks, as Scripture commands.
6. I’m willing to help orphans, widows and foreigners as Scripture commands.
7. I’m willing to listen to ideas for other ways we can make our antichrist government irrelevant and demonstrate the inferiority of secular humanism to Christianity.
