Please withdraw the U.S. from NATO and restore a constitutional foreign policy.

The Founding Fathers fiercely opposed foreign entanglements as they contradicted our national interest. George Washington's 1796 farewell address and Thomas Jefferson's 1801 inaugural address both illustrate the importance of avoiding such entanglements.

Our membership in NATO and other international organizations is detestable to the Founders' intentions. The North Atlantic Treaty requires that we come to the aid of any NATO member that's ever attacked -- 29 other countries, and counting.

Now our leaders want NATO to expand to Ukraine. This is unacceptable. Instead of expanding NATO and further entangling our foreign policy, fully (and immediately) withdraw the U.S. from NATO.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts; There is no one who does good. Psalm 14:1 NASB

Heart Problem
Bible in a Year:
Genesis 43–45
Matthew 12:24–50
The Sovereign Lord says: Repent! Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!

Today's Scripture & Insight:

Ezekiel 14:1–8
“Do you see it, brother Tim?” My friend, a Ghanaian pastor, flashed his torchlight on a carved object leaning against a mud hut. Quietly he said, “That is the village idol.” Each Tuesday evening, Pastor Sam traveled into the bush to share the Bible in this remote village.

In the book of Ezekiel, we see how idolatry plagued the people of Judah. When Jerusalem’s leaders came to see the prophet Ezekiel, God told him, “These men have set up idols in their hearts” (14:3). God wasn’t merely warning them against idols carved of wood and stone. He was showing them that idolatry is a problem of the heart. We all struggle with it.

Bible teacher Alistair Begg describes an idol as “anything other than God that we regard as essential to our peace, our self-image, our contentment, or our acceptability.” Even things that have the appearance of being noble can become idols to us. When we seek comfort or self-worth from anything other than the living God, we commit idolatry.

“Repent!” God said. “Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!” (v. 6). Israel proved incapable of doing this. Thankfully, God had the solution. Looking forward to the coming of Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit, He promised, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you” (36:26). We can’t do this alone.

Father, show me the idols in my heart. Then help me destroy them and live in Your love. Amen.
