Rules by the Fathers

This will be a strange twist on Father's Dad, but here we go anyway:
So, one thing Fathers do is give us rules to abide by...whether for our own good, our protection, or just because.

Our Heavenly Father has given us numerous guidelines found in the Bible. The ironic part of following Christ is that it isn't about the rules, but it is about accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior...and out of the love and worship of Him, we want to obey the rules and laws he has given us. However, through God's word in the Bible...we know what God expects of us, what he warns us of, and what following Him actually looks like. He is the ultimate Father and authority figure...period.

Here on Earth, and in the United States, we have founding fathers. It is crazy to me that hundreds of years ago, these men knew how corrupt and evil human beings could be. Therefore, they created a Constituion or laws...to protect the citizens from the government. They put into place a system of checks and balances...brilliant to say the least, compared to any other country/nation on this earth.

Fathers are important...the ones mentioned above are, and the individual fathers we all have are. Parenting and especially fatherhood, is the most critical job anyone could have.

So what do we do with rule breakers? What do we do when people of authority break rules...rules and guidelines given by our Heavenly Father, and rules given by our founding fathers?
For some reason, this popped in my head today...
Rules are in place to deter chaos, to deter a blurring of lines, to keep things in order...when rules are broken, things are allowed to get crazy and for lines to be blurred.

This is where our current President has slid down a HUGE slippery slope. He is breaking rules left and right, both on a earthly level and heavenly level. This will have consequences in many ways, many of which are probably unseen and not even imagineable yet.
In regards to laws/rules being broken on an earthly level...he is deciding what rules he wants to break or not reinforce...HE IS NOT A KING, AND DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO ACTUALLY DO THIS. Example--> He has decided that illegal immigrants can be granted a path to citizenship (when we have laws that give people opportunity to do this in a legal manner). This is a controversial issue to say the least, but we still have LAWS that he is choosing not to enforce. Want another example, not enforcing DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act). This is a law signed by Bill Clinton, and Obama asked this law not be enforced...he has gone above the law, and decided our military and federal government accept homosexuality and the unnatural marriage associated with it...
that not enough for you, here's another example...Voter fraud and intimidation. Obama and his self appointed Attorney General Holder dismissed obvious, proven bullying at the polls. Remember the Black Panthers set up outside the voting station...this was caught on camera, and they did NOTHING about it. You don't think that's a bid deal...try living in Memphis and realizing how easy this could happen.

As if breaking the laws of our own land were not enough...our Administration is also breaking laws and rules set forth by our God. Now don't get me wrong, we all sin...I realize that. But, this administration has gone against our Lord and Savior, and have condoned homosexuality at a federal level...when the Bible is clear on this issue. Obama's support of condoning abortions with taxpayer funding is another key negative...No, he is not the only one guilty of these things...BUT, as President he is responsible for the rise and fall of this great nation. I do not feel that our Heavenly Father will bless a nation that goes against His very teachings. We have to fear and revere God...and this administration does not do those things.

Rules and Laws are put into place for a reason...Fathers play a crucial role in the discipline and enforcement of these rules. (That includes our Heavenly Father, and founding fathers)
