A friendly Reminder

How does same-sex marriage impact your marriage? By morphing acceptance into extortion. Can government force private agencies they work with to promote a government message? Do the recent orders from the District Court in the case New Hope v. Poole show a restoration of religious liberty in America? I hear this question all the time: “How does homosexual marriage impact your marriage?” This platitude has a small grain of truth, but it only works if you ignore the rest of real

How much of your money does the federal government spend on things not authorized by the Constitution. Beyond the money, what are the other costs of the fact most Americans don’t know what the Constitution actually says. How would your life be different if you spent some time learning more about the supreme law of the land? Here at the Constitution Study, we spend a lot of time discussing the legal and societal cost of ignoring the Constitution. Have you ever considered the f

Author: Mike Sonneveldt A rush of consecration seems to be making its way through the church realm, and I find it a breath of fresh air. I've recognized in many people, within my own circle, the deep desire to consecrate themselves for the Lord. That word, “consecration” tends to get a bad wrap. Images of monks tearing their backs apart with flogs, and people fasting for 40 days and nights bounce around our heads at the mere mention of the word. Our hearts recoil at the thoug

Does the Respect for Marriage defend marriage or is it an attempt to change it? Does Congress have the constitutional authority to define marriage? What can We the People and the states do in the face of this legislation? There is legislation working its way through Congress called the Respect for Marriage Act. Does this act truly respect marriage? Let’s face it, the definition of marriage has been changing for centuries. Marriages used to include polygamy and other relations

We know the Constitution has a Bill of Rights. But do you know the man most responsible for that document? After writing about the Virginia Bill of Rights, I wanted to learn more about the man who brought us that document. Learning about the struggles George Mason went through to give us that document, I see he has earned the title Father of the Bill of Rights . While writing my last two articles about the Virginia Bill of Rights, I became more and more impressed by the perso

Author: Self-Evident Supporter During last convention season, we built a relationship with an amazing couple, who shared some deep truths that astounded us. It revolutionized how we saw judgment and God's wrath on the world. I asked the husband if he would be willing to write down his story in a blog post to share with our faithful listeners and supporters. This is his story, and his own teaching on the topic.    At World's End? In the early months of 2021 I was looking on in

It’s time to look at the rest of the Virginia Declaration of Independence. The last eight sections of this document include some of our most favored rights. Let’s see what else we can learn from this predecessor to the Bill of Rights. Last week we looked at the first eight sections of the Virginia Declaration of Rights. This predecessor to the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights not only gives us some ideas about what Thomas Jefferson was thinking when he wrote the

Author: Mike Sonneveldt It's done. It's over. You can take a deep breath, and now you can relax. Or, if weeping and gnashing your teeth is more your thing, then go for it. But, for the next year and a half or so, you can rest and keep your mind on other things than a mid-term election. I'm glad it's over. I've been waiting for this moment. I understand the importance of an election, and the absolute necessity of getting involved in the whole process, but it brings out the wor

There was document that preceded our Declaration of Independence. How did it influence it? How did this document from George Mason influence not only Thomas Jefferson, but the drafters of the Bill of Rights? What can we learn from Virginia’s declaration of rights to help us today? Prior to the Declaration of Independence being adopted, Virginia adopted their Declaration of Rights. A Declaration of Rights Is made by the representatives of the good people of Virginia, assembled

NASHVILLE, TN – October 31, 2022 [The Constitution Study] — The Constitution Study is proud to announce the release of draft legislation designed to help states protect our children from medical experimentation, especially when promoted by the federal bureaucracy. The recent actions by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adding the mRNA based COVID-19 “vaccines” to their child and adolescent immunization schedule is not only medically unsound, but a violatio

Most Americans believe that governments will protect their children. But what happens when a government bureaucracy wants to perform medical experiments on your children? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have added an experimental treatment for COVID-19 to their schedule for routine childhood vaccinations.
