The power of the sword is quickly turning into the power of the trowel. The TG reports today that Ashland City Council is seeking grant money for a new nature preserve.
Our government (at whatever level, city, state, federal) needs to remember that its function is not that of gardening (or providing for someone's transcendental experience for that matter). God instituted the civil magistrate so that it could be the avenger who carries out God's wrath upon the wrongdoer (Rom. 13:4).
In other words: City Council members, you are to buy guns, not land. You are to protect the citizens of Ashland, not its trees.
