LAW

A great deal of confusion exists in the church over the definition of legalism. There are those who conclude that a legalist is someone who "keeps the commandments." This cannot be legalism since the Bible commends those who keep God’s commandments. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15). Others imagine that a legalist is a person who works at keeping God’s law. Such a person is not a legalist since the psalmist extols the beauty and necessity of a love for God’s law (Psalm 119)....

The nomination of Judge John Roberts to sit on the Supreme Court has reopened a bitter cultural divide in America, and the Senate confirmation hearings in September may exhibit more of the partisan rancor that characterized the Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas hearings.

It’s sad that so many Americans see their freedoms as dependent on a single Supreme Court justice. Federal judges were never meant to wield the tremendous power that they do in modern America.

At least that's what the Founding Fathers believed. Which is why they would not ratify the U.S. Constitution -- and thus establish a centralized national government -- without including in that same document a list of limitations on centralized power. That list of limitations is called the Bill of Rights, and it consists of the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution.

The First Amendment to the Constitution has always been the shining jewel in the Founders' crown. The freedoms guaranteed there, especially regarding religion and the press, have been an example to humankind for over 200 years.

This should be a simple lesson in civics. But over the last 60 years or so the U.S. Supreme Court has issued rulings in one particular area -- church-state cases -- that have so muddled the simplicity of the First Amendment as to cause ordinary Americans to despair of understanding its meaning. The most recent high court rulings on public displays of the Ten Commandments -- which some even consider to be contradictory -- manifested this legal confusion...
