A Solution for Spiritual Bankruptcy

I was deeply disappointed in both of the Supreme Court rulings that came out yesterday. It appeared to me that while Justice Roberts (I think he was the swing vote) employed all sorts of mental and semantical gymnastics so that He could declare Obama Care constitutional because he didn't want to legislate from the bench, the court yesterday did just the opposite in order to legislate from the bench. The hypocrisy and inconsistency is blatant bold, and dis-heartening. In the case of Obama Care the majority of the people did not think it was beneficial and (in my opinion) there is no way mandating everyone have health insurance or pay a fine, can be constitutionally defended as consistent with the "commerce clause" or be relabeled as a tax. But the court ruled otherwise and against the will of the majority of Americans to avoid "legislating from the bench." Yesterday the court ruled against the will of the overwhelming majority of Americans who supported DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) in 1996. And the Supreme court ruled against the will of the Majority of the people in California who voted for "Proposition 8." So the court had no reservation in "legislating from the bench" on the matter of same-sex marriage. The Supreme court rulings yesterday were a poignant reminder that what ails America is spiritual bankruptcy. The only cure is outlined in Psalm 128:1. "How blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways" (Ps.128:1). For America to survive we need to fear the Lord and walk in His ways. As I think about it, this call to fear and walk uprightly begins with me.
