What’s Happening To America?

  Our forefathers fought and died to deliver a free republic into the hands of their posterity. Though some of them called themselves Christians and others did not, there was unity among them concerning the necessity of biblical principles upon which a nation could be founded and sustained. History, when it is presented accurately, bears out the fact that these biblical principles were deeply rooted in the hearts of our founding fathers. They often consulted the Bible in weaving the warp and weft of the fabric we call America.

  It was the stated desire of the first patriots that these principles be maintained by each succeeding generation. But rather than maintain them, we have allowed them to be reinterpreted for us by men with corrupt minds, so that the principles, and our unity, have vastly faded. I’m confident that the signers of our constitution and those who ratified our bill of rights, did not wish to protect those who by lewdness and greed would undermine the very principles upon which our republic stands.

  Though examples abound, let it suffice to name these few: The first amendment was intended to free the hands of the people and loosen their tongues so that they might freely promote new ideas or express grievances with government, neighboring states or just someone on the neighboring farm. The intent was never to protect those who with debauched minds would pollute the morals of masses with pornography. There was no desire among the founders to shield those who would desecrate our flag. The church and state issue did not mandate a removal of all traces of scripture from the public eye. Our founding fathers would have noticed the word “illegal” in the phrase “illegal immigrants.” Etc.

  Have you read the textbook that was dear to the architects of our nation? Many of our forefathers have vouched for the fact that God can be known. Do you know Him yet? They agree that the Word of God contains the critical elements for building and sustaining a great nation. Let’s read the book!
