God has showered America with more than 200 years of blessings. As she acknowledged and obeyed her creator, God elevated her from infancy to a place of world leadership. He has allowed her to enjoy unprecedented wealth, freedom and influence.
America has led the world in medical and technological advancement. The nation has pioneered in space, pushed back the frontiers of science, and given its citizens the world's highest standard of living.
With grateful and humble hearts, Americans once honored the God who granted her blessings and freedoms. But slowly she began to attribute her blessings not so much to God, but to man.
It seems she has a fatal lapse of memory. When God fades from a nation's conscience, one can justify anything.
God says, "Thou shalt not kill." Americans gave murder a new name having aborted millions of unborn babies. New American meanings for old words:
God calls it "drunkenness." We call it "alcoholism-a social disease." God calls it "sodomy." We call it "homosexuality-gay rights, an alternate lifestyle." God calls is "perversion." We call it "pornography-adult entertainment." God calls it "immorality." We call it the "new morality." God calls it "cheating." We call it "abnormal social development."
The great American dream, freedom's call, is turning into a nightmare. We are a nation adrift on a sea of fire as we see not only morals going down the tube, but our liberties, too.
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." - Thomas Jefferson.
The Bible has never threatened America, it has helped build it. The Constitution was designed to perpetuate a Christian order. This nation is a republic, not a democracy. Our very political superstructures stand upon the critical bedrock of cherished biblical principals.
When the Constitutional Convention had completed its work, a lady asked old Ben Franklin, "Well, Dr. Franklin, What have you given us?"
He replied, "You have a republic, madame, if you can keep it." Therefore patriots, roll up your sleeves, we have work to do.
