There are unlimited ways this "authority" for the three letter agencies can ABUSE it and intrude upon us in our everyday lives. They can track EVERY credit/debit card purchase you make. And lord help you if you use a credit or debit card to purchase a gun or ammo. With this current administration, that could raise all kinds of flags for them to dig into your social media posts. If you use a phrase like "Don't tread on me" or "We the People" in a comment or post, that will push them to do MORE illegal digging to get "probable cause" (I use that term VERY loosely with them) so they can get a warrant to take your guns and possibly lock you up for fear that you could start an "INSURRECTION."
This is just one more shining example of why we need to hit that RESET button on our government.
(Now I KNOW I'm going to be on their watch list for saying that).
When you write “It’s time to step up and let Congress know” what that implies is that you are agreeing to have Congress as your authority. Just like voting, you are stating with deeds that you are willing to submit to the system as you are either assuming or giving them authority. You are asking for a ruler over you. Has that been mentioned before? Well yes, in 1st Samuel 8:5 “Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
How does our Creator respond to this request and I contend those that request it in similar ways today? We see it in the next verse with: “they have rejected me from being king over them.”
But don’t stop there. So many gather as conservative Christians stating that we were founded as a Christian country, not realizing that there is no such thing. They cry out to the Lord seeking His blessing. But what did He say in verse 18? “And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.”
It is not those evil politicians that we need to point out their evil deeds. It is those to follow Christ who need to be encouraged to follow Christ. Trust in the Lord not the state.
