Our Rights Follow Responsibilities—Or Else We Lose Them

PRAY WITH US about rights follow responsibilities: Father God, You created us to rule the earth with You. And You will not make a new earth or heaven until we do. But we confess we have fallen short of even ruling ourselves. And so the earth has fallen with us. But we thank You for giving all authority in heaven on earth to Jesus, who will redeem us.

So turn the hearts of parents to children, and the hearts of children to parents. Love wants the best for loved ones, and will take responsibility to do the best for them. Let that love extend from family to community to nation to the world, by the good news of Jesus Christ. With Him we can overcome the world despite all tribulation. That is our greatest right and responsibility. So give us the grace to complete with Him every good work You have started. In Jesus’ name, amen.

PRAYER ALERT: Our Rights Follow Responsibilities—Or Else We Lose Them

At the Dec. 14 public meeting in Belize City on our Constitution, we learned how rights are lost. Maria Paz de Madrid from Chile agreed with our Preamble that only our Creator can grant rights. Not the government.

Last year Chile rejected by a 62% vote a new constitution which added woke rights not given by God. Now Chile is considering a more conservative constitution which preserves God-given rights. They include rights to life, liberty, protection of the law, assembly, and religion.

But if parents don’t instill in children the responsibility to use those rights well, they can lose them. The government can reduce their rights and replace them with control. So we need to add parental rights to the Constitution, and promote parental responsibilities too.

If families fail, communities and nations fail, and global government takes over. We see in the Antichrist the ultimate expression of global tyranny. Already foreign global agendas are pushing us in that direction. They want to redefine sex and family and, in that way, control the nations and and their communities…
