America’s Culture War
There is a culture war raging in America today, for the very heart and soul of what the United States has represented from our very beginning. Being aware of all the enemies seeking the destruction of America, both external and internal, not the least of which is the expansionist and violet pursuits of Islam (through Jihad) against all non-Islamic people, a proper response is required - demanded.
My challenge to Christians is simple: Act now, boldly and courageously, not out of Party loyalty or pragmatism, but strictly from a principled Biblical perspective. This will enable America to return to its Biblical foundation and heritage and to once again secure the blessings and protection of Almighty God upon our nation and families.
If your Christian faith is not the determining factor in what (or who) you stand for and/or against - Your faith is a fraud.
Many battles are being fought in this war, on many fronts, but the one battle that will tip the balance is the current battle against Almighty God and the ability to rightly acknowledge Him and our total dependence upon Him. From our founding the United States has been recognized, and rightfully so, to be a Christian nation. As John Quincy Adams put it "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this; it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."
James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: "We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."
In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."
Many today, history revisionists, would call Mr. Adams, Mr. Madison and Mr. Coolidge liars. They are appalled by the action of the 1782 Congress and decry, condemn and disparage Congress’s endorsement of the Holy Bible. To their shame the revisionists are living examples of Proverbs 18:2 "A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his personal opinions and himself." They reveal themselves to be God hating, God mocking, anti-Christian bigots bent on removing any meaningful reference to Almighty God or the Lord Jesus Christ from within our civil government, despite that still remaining "indissoluble bond" referred to by John Quincy Adams and many other of our nation's Founders.
That bond has most recently been under attack in the State of Alabama where a display of the Ten Commandments was ordered to be removed from the State Supreme Court Building. I had hoped, and prayed that with the courageous leadership being provided by the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Judge Roy Moore in defending that proper display, that other political leaders would also step forward. To their great shame, they did not. Instead, they were exposed as the hypocritical, politically correct, get re-elected at all cost, cowardly politicians they are.
The shear magnitude of this single issue escapes the Christian multitudes.
Christian complacency, neglect and hypocrisy must stop, or our children, grandchildren and their children's children will live in a un-blessed, Godless, excrementitious shadow of what America once was.
In founding this nation "...with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence," courageous Christian men pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Many others throughout our history have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve for us that which was first founded. It is now our time to step forward.
Will we be faithful? Will YOU be faithful?
Is Almighty God real? Is the Bible the written Word of God? Does the Bible reveal timeless and absolute truths about mans responsibility and accountability before Almighty God? Is there an obligation to openly and freely acknowledge Almighty God and the Lord Jesus Christ contained in the laws of the United States? Is the obligation to obey Almighty God greater than that to obey government? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes!
I am now willing to fight for, not just talk about, these things. Are you?
"Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." - Alexis de Tocqueville
Would (could) Tocqueville make the same statement (observation) today? Ask your pastor.
