By Jason Charles on 7/1/2020 (4 years 143 days ago)

Wake the Church |The conflicts that arise in our society and world for that matter are a direct result of people’s inability to discern the nature of lawful authority.Simply look at the debate going on right now due to this COVID-19 plandemic and mask mandates. Some people adamantly refuse to wear one; citing tyrannical overreach, while others feel it is a righteous act to force compliance....

The Fragile Nature of Authority Structures

By Jason Charles on 10/16/2019 (5 years 37 days ago)

We were given two prime examples these past weeks as to how fragile authority structures can truly be in this world. Even the largest governmental and economic systems on the planet, can suddenly implode because confidence and trust erodes in the system.The first example comes to us in the form of mass protests and rebellion in Hong Kong. Without question legitimate abuses have been lamented by protesters. Charges such as official corruption, human rights abuses, ethnic targeting, suppression of religious freedom, civil liberty abuses, one-party totalitarianism, and more. Hong Kong has a unique, dual-system arrangement that affords them a couple liberties in terms of speech than the rest of mainland China, something Chinese president Xi doesn’t seem to care about in the least,“Chinese...

Red Flag Laws, a State of Nature and the Right to Shoot Back

By Jason Charles on 2/27/2019 (5 years 268 days ago)

White-bread Americans are in for a rude awakening as they find themselves at the end of a barrel and being told to disarm under the guise of “Red Flag” gun confiscation laws.The enforcement of Red Flag gun confiscation laws that are currently in place in 14 states now, will statistically impact everyone. In upcoming years as confrontations with law enforcement grows, everyone reading this article will know people impacted by gun confiscation and gun confrontations.Dr. Chuck Baldwin accurately described these laws recently in a column entitled An Open Letter To Our Legislators, Judges And Lawmen, an article I beg everyone to pass along, especially to their law enforcement friends. He writes,The “red flag” laws that are sweeping the country violate every principle of liberty upon which our...

The Greatest Institution

By Jason Charles on 2/6/2019 (5 years 289 days ago)

The family is without question the most fundamental of all human institutions, through which God has instructed humanity in spiritual knowledge since the dawn of creation. The importance of the family dynamic is an obvious truth for most everyone on the planet, unless of course you work at Google.This last month, Google was the subject of an internal barrage by employees simply because they used the word “family friendly” at a unicorn product presentation, as if that wasn’t gay enough.“Google execs dropped the word 'family' from company presentations after employees complained it was 'offensive' and 'homophobic', media reports have claimed. …It reports that one employee walked out of a March 2017 presentation on unicorn products and started an internal thread to complain that it was...

Abortion Violates the Three Cornerstones of Natural Rights

By Jason Charles on 7/6/2018 (6 years 139 days ago)

To begin, people that advocate murder are scary. Viva Ruiz, the founder of the group, Thank God for Abortion was quoted in a video recently saying,“When I had my first abortion, I was like this is not what they said it will be, I did not see my experience in the landscape of the conversation. I wanted to inject joy, and this joy was about autonomy…I have a right to do what I want with this body…abortion is a basic human right.”  This argument has become a staple argument for baby murderers in this country; and those using this argument do so because it provides a clever means to shift the argument from the defensive position of defending baby murder, to the offensive position of accusing others of denying basic human rights.If these murder advocates can frame the argument around their...

The Family Dynamic Refutes Common Anarchist Ideals

By Jason Charles on 4/26/2018 (6 years 210 days ago)

Anarchy has had a resurgence in popularity in recent decades. Especially among the Liberty movement. A movement that just 10 years ago was brought together by the populist Ron Paul. Many people who were originally exposed to the Constitution, the Principles of Liberty and Free Market economics, fail to realize that Ron Paul spent half his lifetime in congress trying to change the system from within, not destroy said system. Where Did the Revolution Go? In an interview with CSPN in 2014 a caller asks Ron Paul about his views on anarchism, Ron Paul says this,“…close Friends of mine think political action is terrible, and worthless. I happen to be one that believes that education is paramount, but political action can be very helpful.” (Mises.org) So, it is important to note, Ron Paul did not...

Christians Taking Jesus' Advice and Arming Up Next Sunday

By Jason Charles on 11/8/2017 (7 years 14 days ago)

In light of the awful tragedy at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas this past Sunday Christians everywhere must enter into a dialog with one another and with their pastors on the issue of self-defense. Ask what are the Christian principles that guide us when developing an operational plan to protect people from increasing violence against church congregations? Mainly heavily armed and armored crazies, with a penchant for shooting children like Devin Kelly. An CBS article quoted a firearm instructor who is teaching pastors and congregational security teams how to properly respond to the threat of active shooters in the church. “The scriptures make it clear that Jesus has issued a very quotable directive that we are to arm ourselves with the tools and machinery of lethal...

Forget Gun-Control We Need People-Control

By Jason Charles on 10/4/2017 (7 years 49 days ago)

While media and politicians clamor for more gun-control in the up-coming weeks, I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that it isn't the guns that are in need of "control," no, it is people that need controlling. I explain below what I mean by "People-Control," so keep reading! The reason being America we have reached peak insanity. We now live in a world where political opponents applaud and cheer violent and murderous acts against one another. "Top legal executive at CBS, Hayley Geftman-Gold, said she “is not even sympathetic” for the victims of the shooting at a country music festival at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas Sunday night.“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs will ever do the right thing,” wrote Geftman-Gold on Facebook,...

The Greatest Achievement of Mankind is the Philosophy of Natural Law

By Jason Charles on 9/28/2016 (8 years 55 days ago)

If you were to ask a crowd what mankind's greatest achievement is, you would get 100 different answers. Many would point to Wilbur and Orville Wright saying our ability to fly, some would say Alan Turing and the advent of modern computing, while others would point to Neil Armstrong and the moon landing as maybe the single greatest achievement ever achieved by mankind. Laughably, some would point to the ability to surgically alter the gender of a 10 year old boy to be a milestone of human achievement, I kid you not. But they would all be wrong.The single greatest achievement ever made by mankind was our ability to recognize and articulate the philosophy of Natural Law. Without the ability to articulate the principles of natural law, there never would have been a society free enough,...

The Most Overlooked Biblical Argument for the God-Given Right of Self-Defense

By Jason Charles on 9/28/2015 (9 years 56 days ago)

The Wake the Church Newsletter is growing be sure to sign-up pastors and friends.Pope Francis, in his address to Congress this last week made a purposefully cryptic statement denouncing the global arms trade,“Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society?” he asked. “Sadly, the answer, as we all know, is simply for money: money that is drenched in blood, often innocent blood. In the face of this shameful and culpable silence, it is our duty to confront the problem and to stop the arms trade.”(Guns.com)Later in this same Guns.com article it notes that almost immediately following the address, the internet was bombarded with a series of memes using Pope Francis' quote above to promote gun control by the anti-gun group the Coalition...
