What is a Constitution
when it's all said and done?
00:00:01.96\00:00:05.83
On our health, we
know that the Constitution
00:00:05.87\00:00:07.87
is sort of the inner strength
00:00:07.90\00:00:10.24
that upholds our
daily activities.
00:00:10.27\00:00:13.48
And if we have a
strong Constitution,
00:00:13.51\00:00:15.54
we will walk and talk
and function adequately,
00:00:15.58\00:00:18.91
perhaps a long time.
00:00:18.95\00:00:20.72
US has a well
thought out Constitution
00:00:20.75\00:00:23.02
that owes a lot
00:00:23.05\00:00:24.39
to those that went before,
00:00:24.42\00:00:25.75
it owes a lot to
the British system,
00:00:25.79\00:00:27.96
that even though they separated
by a war of independence,
00:00:27.99\00:00:31.26
there was a continuum there.
00:00:31.29\00:00:32.83
It's a well
thought out Constitution
00:00:32.86\00:00:34.90
that above all,
00:00:34.93\00:00:36.26
holds up high
00:00:36.30\00:00:37.63
the rights of the individual,
the power of the people,
00:00:37.67\00:00:40.50
empowering a
government for their own good.
00:00:40.54\00:00:43.04
It holds up
00:00:43.07\00:00:44.41
the principle of a
separation of church and state,
00:00:44.44\00:00:46.54
respect for religion,
00:00:46.57\00:00:48.28
but it is not Holy Writ,
00:00:48.31\00:00:51.41
and many religionists
working with the Constitution
00:00:51.45\00:00:54.02
get a little
confused between the two.
00:00:54.05\00:00:56.25
It is not infallible.
00:00:56.28\00:00:58.15
It is well intentioned
00:00:58.19\00:00:59.52
and well-functioning
at its best, at its best,
00:00:59.55\00:01:02.39
but ultimately
our loyalties to God
00:01:02.42\00:01:05.56
and the best
Constitution upholds
00:01:05.59\00:01:08.46
and corresponds
with the law of God.
