“ A message for all Americans today ” Excellent and insightful as always. It's amazing today how the states are part of the problem and actually throw their citizens to the dogs or, in this case, to the feds. We as Christians need to wake up and reinstate these historical and biblical truths.
By the way, J. Mendez, you should check out John Weaver's "Where We Are and How We Got Here" series. Slavery is not inherently evil, contrary to popular belief. It can be abused, of course, just like anything else in life. Slavery IS biblical. Denying this is admission to ignorance of the Bible. What's more is that I would say that the South was about the least of the guilty parties for slavery in America. Just check out his messages on these issues. (Also, check out: "The Confederate Flag: A Symbol of Hate?")

“ Great Sermon! ” Mr. Weaver touched on some very important themes here but I would have liked him to engage with the notion that the Civil War (or the War Of Northern Aggression) settled the state's rights issue.
Regrettably, the state's rights position has been forever intertwined with a hollow excuse for justifying slavery and later Jim Crow laws in the South. Also regrettable has been the history of some preachers who actually used the Bible to sanction the institution slavery--an institution that had more to do with economics and lees with any genuine support from the Bible.
This is regrettable because I believe with Mr. Weaver that state's rights is a marvelous mechanism by which to check the coercive power of the state. The Founders were indeed very wise in this matter. However, we need to extricate it from all the excess baggage it has accumulated over the years and I am not sure the Biblical route Mr. Weaver has chosen is the best way.
The Founders spoke about "nature and nature's laws" as a way of buttressing their arguments for liberty. In using this phrase the Founders were appealing to Natural Law which applies equally to all men and women regardless of race or religion.
In a pluralistic society like ours this may be more persuasive and less subject to the old baggage.

“ Pay attention to these words! ” Why has your great country become odious in the eyes of other peoples is because of what it has become under the tyranny of federalism that exerts its will internationally as a tool in the hands of an invisable elite. The press which is controlled by these people will no longer speak up. You must put this address in the hands of your citizens, your neighbours yourselves. Secondly you must weep, pray, and repent like Nehemiah that you may once again be a light in this lost world of despotic governments.
