“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

The Ninth Commandment continues to be mocked in spades by the mainstream media with a recent newspaper article equating Alabama Senatorial candidate Judge Roy Moore with disgraced former Vision Forum Ministries President Doug Phillips.
Phillips resigned in disgrace after years-long sexual relationship with a young woman the Phillips family employed as a nanny for the younger of their eight children. In 2008, Phillips and Moore along with Drs. Joseph C. Morecraft and Dr. Paul Jehle collaborated on Law and Government: An Introductory Study Course, a homeschool course. Additionally, Moore served as an instructor for a Vision Forum course for men.
A 3 December 2017 San Antonio Express-News article by Gilbert Garcia titled “Roy Moore Took Inspiration from Disgraced [San Antonio] Pastor” reports that Moore and Phillips collaborated on the above described project in 2008, then implies that Moore’s evidence-challenged and unproven alleged sexual misbehavior is morally equivalent to Phillips’ admitted sexual misconduct.
Additionally, the article makes a gratuitous reference to Elder William Einwechter of the Immanuel Free Reformed Church in Stevens, Pennsylvania, who contributed a lecture to the book described above, calling Einwechter a “teacher elder” and leaving the word “Free” out of the name of the church.
