I appreciate it when leftists get off script, dispatch with the propagandist talking points and say what’s really on their minds. “Progressives” hate natural marriage. And they hate the natural family. But they do so love big government.

If you’re like me, you may have been wondering over the last year or so why Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has started out with such a good conservative voting record, yet as he started unofficially running for president, he also started pandering to the Left with his rhetoric.

Doubters have posed this question forever: “Why do bad things happen to good people?” But if this is a genuine question, then why do they reject the answer? The truth is that the answer can be found in the Bible, and scholars over the centuries have written volumes about it. It’s a question that has been answered, and answered well.

America, before feeling sorry for yourselves, I need to set the record straight. Let me remind you that it is not the ACLU or some other anti-American group or communist organization that is taking away your rights. It is the American people relinquishing and forfeiting the rights that God gave.

The battle is engaged and quite clearly the enemies of God, those who hate His Law are responding as Psalm 2 describes, “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”

Rush Limbaugh recently stated exactly what we’ve been saying for a while now—that the real target of this movement (of the Left, broadly, and homosexualists, specifically)—is Christianity.

On April 22, 2015, my friend and co-worker Anas Jamaleddin brought one of his clients to my office for help. She was a new retiree of the school system in Merrillville, Indiana. Since retiring, her medical bills were not getting paid. She was facing $951 in unpaid bills.

What D.C. politicians are missing is the most elegant and honest solution of them all to the anticipated King v. Burwell conundrum. Keep the federal government’s commitment to provide subsidies for the remainder of 2015 as participants made choices based upon that false promise this year, and then end it. Those who make healthcare decisions for 2016 will do so without the illusion of the federal government offsetting their costs, while making them whole for the current year.

Why in the world would anyone think it is a good idea for a politician to determine what is good science and impose hundreds of billions of dollars in new burdens on American consumers based on speculation about what is going on with the climate?

The Bible contains blessed instruction and spiritual nourishment for the thirsting, passionate disciple of God. It is when we stray in our application and obedience that we grow complacent, proud, frustrated, irritable, overwhelmed, depressed, and ultimately unfaithful.
