A BLESSED NATION This entry was posted on 06-26-2008 and is filed under uncategorized. Today is July 4, Independence Day, so I am going to take a break from our current study to wish all of my readers a happy 4th of July!
Psalm 33:12 says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance." In 1892 the U.S. Supreme Court declared, "Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon the teachings of the Redeemer of Mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent, our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian." Just this week the presumptive Democratic nominee, who is running for the highest office in the land, presumptuously declared that America is not a Christian nation but is also a Hindu nation, a Muslim nation, etc. America's founding fathers would never have made such an untrue and uninformed statement. Alexander Hamilton said, "I have a tender reliance on the mercy of the Almighty; through the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am a sinner. I look to Him for mercy." Patrick Henry declared, "This is all the inheritance I give to my dear family. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed." Benjamin Franklin (at the Constitutional Convention, June 28, 1787): "We have been assured, sir, in the Sacred Writings, that 'except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it.' I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel." Is America being led back to Babel? Hymn/Prayer: "Our fathers' God, to Thee, Author of liberty, to Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light; protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King!" (Samuel F. Smith, "America"). |
