Thoughts from Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Ethics:
“The American democracy is not founded upon the emancipated man but, quite on the contrary, upon the kingdom of God and the limitation of all earthly powers by the sovereignty of God.”
We must take care to recognize that building something to “last” cannot happen. We may want democracy to last, or socialism to last, or some other system. They do not. Bonhoeffer thought the Framers of the Constitution recognized this. All things must submit to the sovereignty of God. When HE says it’s over…well, it’s over.
