Media's Assault on Godly Laws and Principles
Mike Johnson, new speaker of the House, is under attack from the Media for “acting” like a Christian. Mike is a Baptist and thus considered a “Christian” in the worldly usage of the word. He is unapologetically pro-life and believes in remaining married. The liberal, anti-God media seems to be obsessed with his 25+ years of marriage to his wife, Kelly. Suzanne Bowley is a writer at The Washington Stand and reports that “Johnson has been savaged from everything from his pro-life views to his marriage. He’s been called a ‘sinister creep,’ ‘MAGA toxicity at its worst,’ a ‘religious fanatic,’ which was tame considering that Bill Maher compared him to the Maine shooter.”
“One of the most fascinating attacks on Johnson is the media’s obsession with his covenant marriage to his wife of 25 years, Kelly. To hear some tell it, it’s a cruel idea that ‘harms women’ and ‘keeps them locked inside their own houses.’” Marriage, fidelity, and most moral matters do not rate very high with liberal, left-leaning ideology. The Creator is mocked and ridiculed while human wisdom and worldly values are in vogue. Woe to a nation who continues to incur the wrath of God!
[Editor’s Note: This was the end of Brother Weir’s brief article, which appeared in the Reno Record on November 5, 2023. But there are some other observations that might prove helpful.]
On October 25, 2023, Mike Johnson became Speaker of the House of Representatives. This writer does not recall even hearing his name before and knows little of his politics, but Johnson immediately became under assault within three weeks, which indicates the level of the current state of politics. The incredible thing, however, is what he is under attack for—being moral. Some have criticized him for openly acknowledging being a “Christian.” Seriously? Would they object if he were a Muslim—who called for the annihilation of Israel? Fortunately, he is accustomed to criticism; he says: “I had my feelings surgically removed back in the 1980s; so they can’t hurt my feelings.” His family has been attacked, also, but they support him.
One of the criticisms involved the fact that he and his wife have a covenant marriage, which is legal in three states: Louisiana (the one Johnson is from), Arkansas, and Arizona. According to Wikipedia a covenant marriage is one in which “spouses agree to premarital counseling and accept more limited grounds for later seeking divorce.” That’s a cause for criticism? Or should it be a type of marriage available throughout the country?
