In our contemporary culture justice depends on self-interest and profit.
Current example: Quote: |
Pro-family attorney Pat Trueman says hard-core pornography isn't free speech and should be prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice.
| The majority understand that this is wrong and the apex of unrighteousness but no senator, congressman or judge can stand against an 8 billion dollar industry.
We recognize that we are different than Kenya and Chad because we recognize the 'rule of law' yet we permit and encourage murder of babies from the highest offices.
I shudder to consider how our Holy God views our rampant injustice and what lies in store for a nation that withholds justice and mocks righteousness. |
Rushdoony in his book
Larceny of the Heart which is retitled from his original work
Roots of Inflation, ties together how fiat currency
requires fiat Justice and necessarily wars against righteousness. It's easy to condemn elected officials and others in civil government, but the real problem is all of us. When economics becomes corrupted it really affects everything and everyone else and everybody becomes a part of the problem.
Where your treasure is there will your heart be also.
