BEAR ARMS WITH LAWFUL INTENT AND GOOD PURPOSES! Re: Virginia Governor's Infringement of The People's God-Ordained Duty & Gross Violation of U.S. Constitution & of Holy Writ (Zechariah 8:16-17) The following quotations are instructive as they are timely for us all in these perilous days. May our Judge, Lawgiver & King JESUS be exalted and His people encouraged. U.S. Chief Justice Marshall: “ All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” -Marbury vs. Madison 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803 A.D.). "A legislature must not obstruct our obedience to Him from whose punishment they cannot protect us. All human laws which contradict His laws we are in conscience bound to disobey." -George Mason "But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason." -Scottish preacher John Knox, c. 16th century ...

“ Humility is a strange flower; it grows best in winter weather and under storms of affliction.” -preacher Samuel Rutherford

“ Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept (regarded, taken heed to) Thy Word” (Psalm 119:67) . “ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Thy statutes” (Psalm 119:71) . “ I know, O LORD, that Thy judgments are right, and that Thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me” (Psalm 119:75) .

O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God, and to God alone! When a man is so poor, so friendless, so helpless that he has nowhere else to turn, he flies into his Father’s arms, and is blessedly clasped therein!

"Jesus Christ H imself being the chief corner stone; in W hom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord." -E PHESIANS 2:20, 21 [KJV]   Christ is the Head of every member individually, as He is the Head of the whole body collectively. Growth of the body, from babyhood to manhood, is the growth of individual members in the body. If, then, I am a member of the mystical body of Christ Jesus, I shall grow. My growth may be so slow and gradual as to be scarcely perceptible; but it will be growth still. If I have union with Christ, I shall be supplied, at least in some measure, out of His fulness. He is my life, and He has promised, because He lives, I shall live also; and if I live by Him, I shall live upon and unto Him. Paul could say, "The life which I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God;" and also, "And that H e died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, ...
