Constitution of the Michigan Pastors Alliance
Preamble & Mission Statement
We the allied pastors of Michigan, in order to protect and defend our great state from tyrannical governments and or godless organizations wishing to propagate debased ideals which will do harm to the biblical framework of our society, stand united as a brotherhood of divinely called ministers in arms to ensure the continued establishment of justice and domestic peace, while promoting and defending the general welfare and God-given liberties secured to us by both the Michigan and the United States Constitutions to all residents of the state of Michigan, do establish this Constitution for the Michigan Pastors Alliance.
We, the allied pastors of Michigan, do declare our loyalty to the Holy and Triune God of the universe. Our unwavering allegiance is to our Lord, Savior, God, and King - Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. As a result, we affirm and adhere to all that He handed down by Divine Revelation, namely His Holy, infallible and inerrant Word, the Bible. The Bible is the ultimate authority in all matters of life. This authority extends to but is not limited to: life (which begins at conception) and liberty for all as an inalienable right, the right to own private property, gender as defined by God, and marriage which is a covenantal union between God and one biological male and one biological female. All the aforementioned subjects are addressed with remarkable and undeniable clarity in the Bible.
We also declare that this nation was established on the “general principles of Christianity.” We affirm our loyalty and commitment to the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the Michigan Constitution and Michigan law. However, if any executive or bureaucratic action, if any law passed at any level of government, or if any decision rendered by any court declares that which God calls sin to be a “human right” that must be affirmed, such governmental mandates violate the Bible, Natural Law, the teachings of the Christian Church for the past 1900 years, and the very foundation of our Republic. Therefore, we hereby declare that when such coercion is applied, we will obey God rather than man.
