Palin, What sayeth the Scriptures?

I’m almost done with The Second Mayflower. Kevin has this quote from John Jay, first chief justice of the United States on page 249 “God has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers”


Question: has anyone seen a contrary exegetical work, making an affirmative case for women magistrates? I bring it up because Einwechter has added to what he wrote on women magistrates in a Response to Al Mohler and David Kotter. (???) Its here on Doug Phillips Blog.I do like how Sarah Palin is just sand in the teeth of the liberal elites. Its hard not to take delight when they act like there little heads are just gonna explode. They truly don’t know what to be outraged over more. Guns, allowing a down syndrome baby to live, a Christian, how she doesn’t kow tow to them… her betters, how she smiles and seems to enjoy herself as they try to destroy her, her daughter having unprotected sex, and then not aborting the baby! Well I never!

God is at work. But we don’t know how. So you cannot second guess but must revert back to the word as our compass and guide.

Heard RC Sproul Jr on his basement tape called “some dance to forget” while on the road. Sproul makes the point that as we live as God has directed it will highlight the hollowness of those who are living for the here and now. It resonated also how it can even cause a check in believers who are living for less than what God wants.

While away I was able to share with my insurance agent who is a believer that I have to be obedient to God and vote in a manner that complies with his word rather than what used to seem like the obvious thing to do. I do think we will be like sand in the teeth of believers. “I would love to vote for her! But I must obey God and his word” also the phrase from the Bradleys about ”if you think this is wrong, is it because you believe the word of God teaches something else?” We are to be his witness. We must obey God rather than men.
