Thought For The Day

Whose Got the Power

There’s a game we play at Church called “whose got the power.” If you know anything about how the Church works, you understand the rules. . .or lack thereof. I am glad we are not the only ones playing the game. Watching our Government struggle with the same issues gives me a sense of hope that one day we will understand God’s role and ours. Somebody needs to check the Scriptures to get the answer.

Associated Press writer Laurie Kellman said, in part, that certain events are “inflaming an intense battle between Democrats and (sic – President) Bush over his use of executive power. There was relatively high tension on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.” In other words, Congress wants the power to control the Executive Branch of Government (the President must answer to us), and the Executive Branch wants its freedom to work independently of the Legislative Branch (you’re not going to tell us what to do) and the Judical Branch is salivating over the prospects that they will get to exercise ultimate power. Somebody needs to check the Constitution to get the answer.

What ever happened to “of the people, by the people, for the people?”
