Title of Liberty

~Title of Liberty

Lord how I mourn for my brothers and sisters that have given their lives in the service of protecting our liberties and values.  As Captain Moroni in ages past petitioned his government for provisions and support for his Army; actively engaging the enemy in the protection of His people’s liberties… I see similarities in our dispensation. 

The Kingsmen have taken over our Government, it is ripe with iniquity.  I embrace Truth and Righteousness but I can not sit idle and let the corruption go unchallenged.  Wars are now engaged, not for the sake of protecting freedoms but in underlying causes of the politicians who play God and toy with the lives of innocents.  Our service men and women are being sent to fight battles all across the Globe without the full support that they should expect from their Nation when battling tyranny and oppression.  Congress cuts their salaries, lessens their benefits while they endure hardships abroad and their families receive less than what they should for their support at home. 

I fear that the People’s Militia will not stand by and watch their Liberties and their right to bear arms be taken from them by a weak and selfish Government that grows fat on the backs of it’s taxpayers.  Corruption and secret combinations abound in the once Sacred Halls of our Highest Courts.  Who shall stand and have the courage to Raise the Title of Liberty once again?  Do we sit by idle and content to watch our country crumble and die a death from within?  Lord how can we ask for Divine intervention when we have removed thy Holy Name and stricken it from being uttered in our public offices and places where our young ones are taught and indoctrinated? 

Father have mercy upon this thy chosen People, the Adversary is among us…his minions wallow in our midst, and we feel the sting of his fiery darts.  Men of Valor come forth and speak with boldness in support of truth and righteousness.  Take action and fear not for God is on our side, we have been preserved for this moment in time.  We have been prepared since before the World was, to come and do battle against the sin that abounds around us.  Remember who ye are!  Sound the trump of warning to the four corners of the Earth and stay faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord.  His Arm encircles us with protection and we shall stand firm in our resolve to do what is Right. 

Israel cries to be remembered O’ Lord, the promises made shall come to pass.  How can we let our Secretary of State insult thy covenant children, our only allies and hope for Democracy in the Middle East?  I strain to hear the cry of our modern day Pahoran who has been cast out and replaced by wicked men and women in our political seats of power.  Where is the call to our good Generals to gather our troops and cleanse the cesspool of corruption that abounds within our government?  How long do we sit idle and watch the Kingmen run their secret combinations and broker deals with our enemies?  Father…They have already weakened us from within by demoralizing our society and allowing Carnal and Temporal ideals to be taught and sought after as an acceptable reward.  How can we receive guidance O Lord when we are kept from praying and our children grow up thinking that it is wrong to recognize thy hand in all we do? 

Our hearts have been broken and our will hangs by a thread as society reels in sin and corruption, Socialist ideals have crept into every facet of our lives and the moral decay of our country is almost complete.  Lord have we learned nothing from History?  It truly does repeat itself.  I call upon all the Moroni Men and Women as well as Helaman’s Warriors to step forth and take our country back, let us stand together and beat back the tide of filth that has crippled our country.  Fear not to speak,  there will be many that say our words are Harsh, but they ring of truth and righteousness and the Righteous embrace  truth in all it’s forms.  Open thy mouths and the Lord will place within them the very thing which ye should speak in that very moment.   Keep faith alive in thy Hearts that this is still the chosen land and as long as we remain righteous it shall receive our Lord’s blessing.  Even so, Amen.
