Fourth of July

There's a sad, but growing animosity in our country toward the Christian beliefs our nation was founded upon. The liberal leaders of this great nation have launced all out war on the name of Jesus.

We're right here at the Fourth of July, and we're not the same country we were just a few short years ago. We're on a downhill slope headed for hell, and Satan is busy greasing the slope for us.

The problem, it seems, is that the Great Deceiver has lived up to his name all too well. He's convinced people across our great nation that America was not founded on the Holy Word of God. I assure you, folks, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

This nation was absolutely founded upon God's word, and a study of history proves it. Stop listening to the liberal propaganda machine and start listening instead to the Holy Bible.

There have been two nations in the history of this world that were given to their inhabitants by God Himself: America and Israel. If you study your Bible, you cannot keep from drawing the obvious parallells between Israel of the Old Testament and America today.

Israel, as you will recall, chose not to follow after God. Instead, they followed their own ideas, paths and ideals, and you see where they ended up: without a home of their own until May 1948. Do you remember who cast the deciding vote in the United Nations to allow Israel to have its own country again? The United States, against internal opposition, recognized Israel's right to live freely.

In Biblical times, however, Israel chose to follow a destiny without God. In Judges 21:25 the Bible says --In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

Here in America, we've forgotten that our King is still God. We've forgotten the words of George Washington: "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible."

Washington also said America has but one King, and his name is Jesus Christ. It's the job of the President to watch over the nation until his return.

“ God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel."--Benjamin Franklin, a man considered the least religious of all the Founding Fathers.

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, let us not forget the soldiers who died to defend this nation, which still stands, as one nation under God. At least for now, anyway....
