This morning the City of Cleburne welcomed former Congressman J.C. Watts to the annual Christian Leaders Prayer Breakfast. It was an inspiring morning to say the least and I was honored to be in the room with so many wonderful Christian leaders, many of whom make their home right here in Johnson County. Congressman Watts spoke of the tendency for so many to try to enter through the narrow door of Heaven with so much baggage and a mindset of pushing our lives as far as we can and still get in. We ought to be living far from the point of question and well within the boundaries of the life Christ modeled for us and describes to us in His Word. It occurred to me that too many of our leaders take this same approach to the U.S. Constitution. Why must the next big bill in Congress always have to be pushing the limits of constitutionality and move so many of our freedoms to eventual Supreme Court decisions? If our constitutionally elected leaders respected the document they swear to uphold they would serve us all better by steering clear of its limits and govern with reverence.
