Common Law Revelations

Connecting the Dots

Every case filed through Faith Frontier raises legal questions — but beneath those questions are deeper truths about how power should be exercised, how contracts should be honored, and how government must serve rather than exploit the people.

This page reveals the common threads that run through all these matters: principles that transcend any single docket and point toward God's purpose for law, governance, and human relationships.

Five Core Revelations

Across criminal, civil, federal, and administrative cases, five timeless principles emerge with remarkable consistency. These are the revelations that God has used these trials to teach and to witness:

1. The Public Trust Doctrine

Principle: Government agencies are fiduciaries, not owners. They must administer public resources for the benefit of the people, not as revenue-generating enterprises.

Scripture: "The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." — Psalm 24:1

Revealed in these cases:

Why it matters: When public servants forget they are stewards, they become tyrants. The public trust doctrine reminds every agency and officer that their authority is borrowed from the people and must be used for the people's benefit.

2. Proportionality in Commerce

Principle: Penalties and fees must be proportional to the offense and actual costs. A 24-to-1 ratio of fees to tolls is not justice — it is exploitation.

Scripture: "Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity. Use honest scales and honest weights." — Leviticus 19:35–36

Revealed in these cases:

  • NJTA v. Barber — $204 in tolls, $4,905 in fees = excessive and punitive

Why it matters: Commerce without conscience becomes predation. The law must protect citizens from disproportionate penalties that punish poverty and enrich bureaucracy. This principle applies to toll fees, court costs, and any government-imposed financial burden.

3. Due Process & Conscience

Principle: Fair process is not a technicality — it is a sacred right. Due process means notice, opportunity to be heard, and decisions based on evidence, not assumptions or convenience.

Scripture: "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." — Proverbs 31:8–9

Revealed in these cases:

Why it matters: God's justice is not arbitrary. It requires truth, transparency, and the opportunity to be heard. When courts deny process, they deny the image of God in each person — the capacity for reason, response, and redemption.

4. Fiduciary Duty & Good Faith

Principle: Those entrusted with power — whether attorneys, judges, or public officials — must exercise that power in good faith, serving the interests of those they are sworn to protect.

Scripture: "Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful." — 1 Corinthians 4:2

Revealed in these cases:

  • Barber v. Tumelty — Attorney's duty to investigate, preserve defenses, and communicate honestly
  • NJTA v. Barber — Public agency's duty to serve, not exploit, the traveling public

Why it matters: Betrayal of trust is not just a legal violation — it is a moral corruption that undermines the entire system of justice. When those with power act in bad faith, the vulnerable have nowhere to turn.

5. Stewardship Over Exploitation

Principle: Government exists to serve and steward, not to dominate and extract. Every law, fee, and enforcement action must be measured against this foundational purpose.

Scripture: "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all." — Mark 10:43–44

Revealed in these cases:

  • NJTA v. Barber — Toll enforcement as stewardship vs. revenue extraction
  • All PCR cases — Criminal justice system must serve rehabilitation, not merely punishment

Why it matters: When government forgets it is a steward, it becomes a predator. The principle of stewardship demands that every exercise of power be justified by service to the common good, not by the convenience or profit of the state.

How the Cases Connect

These are not random legal disputes. They are interconnected challenges to the same systemic problems: government overreach, professional betrayal, and the erosion of conscience in public and private institutions.

The Criminal Justice Thread

  • State v. Barber (ATL-22-002292, ATL-22-002313, ATL-24-001934) — Original criminal cases and post-conviction challenges
  • Barber v. Tumelty (ATL-L-002794-25) — Legal malpractice stemming from ineffective representation in criminal matters
  • Federal Civil Rights (1:22-cv-06206, 1:25-cv-15641) — Constitutional violations during arrest, detention, and prosecution

Common theme: When the system fails to protect the accused, every subsequent proceeding is tainted. Justice requires accountability at every level — from arrest to trial to post-conviction review.

The Public Trust Thread

  • NJTA v. Barber (ATL-DC-007956-25) — Toll authority overreach and disproportionate fees
  • Appeals (A-000313-25) — Procedural fairness and access to appellate review

Common theme: Public agencies must act as fiduciaries, not revenue collectors. The same principle that limits toll fees also limits court costs, probation conditions, and any government-imposed burden on citizens.

Timeline of Revelation

God reveals truth progressively. The cases documented here span multiple years and touch multiple areas of law, but they all converge on the same core principles:

  1. 2022–2024: Criminal prosecutions expose systemic due-process failures
  2. 2025 (early): Post-conviction petitions reveal ineffective counsel and withheld evidence
  3. 2025 (mid): Federal civil rights actions assert constitutional violations
  4. 2025 (late): Civil malpractice and toll cases connect public-trust failures across systems

Each case builds on the last, revealing a pattern of institutional failure that cannot be dismissed as individual error. This is systemic — and the remedy must be systemic as well.

God's Purpose Revealed

Why has God allowed one tradesman to face so many legal battles? Not for punishment, but for purpose. Not to destroy, but to reveal and to teach.

To Witness Truth

Every filing, every brief, every discovery request is an act of witness — bearing testimony to how the system actually works, not how it claims to work. God uses these cases to document injustice so that others may learn and reform.

To Teach Stewardship

The principles revealed in these cases are not new. They echo ancient law: the Year of Jubilee, the prohibition on usury, the command to use honest weights. God is teaching that stewardship, not exploitation, must govern both commerce and government.

To Build Faith

Legal battles test faith like few other trials. They demand patience, endurance, and trust in God's justice even when human courts fail. Through these cases, God builds character and reveals His faithfulness in the midst of adversity.

To Serve Others

Every precedent set, every principle clarified, every document published serves not just one litigant but countless others who face similar injustices. God uses one man's trials to create a roadmap for many.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

— Romans 8:28

These cases are not accidents. They are appointments — divine opportunities to reveal truth, to challenge injustice, and to point both courts and citizens back toward the timeless principles of conscience, commerce, and common law that reflect God's own character: just, merciful, and faithful.

Pray for Justice

Systemic change requires more than legal filings. It requires divine intervention, spiritual warfare, and fervent prayer for judges, attorneys, and officials to act with conscience.

"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." — James 5:16
