America & Jesus

O.K. I'll admit that I don't have anything inspiring to write about. I have tried really hard this year to keep things fresh. So what do you do when you aren't "inspired?" You simply talk about what's going on around you.

I'm sure most of you have heard about President Obama and his comment overseas that America isn't a "Christian" nation. Folks...this is just the beginning.

Obama was giving an "economic" speech at Georgetown University this week and it came with all the posturing: American flags & presidential seals. However, something was missing - Jesus. That's right folks! The gold "IHS" monogram inscribed on a pediment in the hall where our president was speaking was covered by a piece of black-painted plywood. CNSNews.com made sure to say that the monogram was still visible in 26 other places in the hall but that those places just weren't as prominent.

It seems as though the president is making a big deal about separating Jesus & America. What's next? Are we going to have a proclamation that America is simply a Deist nation, Muslim nation, or an Agnostic nation?

For the president of the United States to claim that most of the founding fathers were Deists rather than Christians is nothing short of a LIE! All but 2 of the signers of our Constitution were members of an Evangelical church. Each of these men had firm beliefs in the Word of God and used biblical principles to frame the laws of this great nation.

I admit that I'm a realist when it comes to politics and faith. I know that many of the politicians in Washington simply use religion to gain political power. How else can we explain so many "Catholics" in Congress who support abortion? Their "faith" simply makes them warm and fuzzy with the voters but there is no reality of it in their lives.

This is why I've considered doing a political blog that is separate from PBC voice that would address many of these issues. The title (should I create it) would be "gods of our making" because that is how many of these in power act and live. Rather than realizing that there was an electorate of voters who believed these people would make a difference for their state, they simply act as though they have risen to this ranking of power to show their greatness.

I'm not saying that America is a "Christian" nation but I will say without any hesitation that the United States of America was founded upon Christian beliefs, principles, and a firm faith in Jesus Christ. The scary part of all this is that it's not just the president and members of congress that we have to watch. You better pay close attention to that history textbook your child carries home. History is being re-written as we speak. That's why it's so important for you to teach your children even though they attend government schools. Actually, if your child attends government school, YOU BETTER TEACH THEM! Stay involved in their studies because there will come a time when we will be the only bearers of truth.

By the way: Didn't the Bible warn us of these things? Be assured that it will come. However, don't sit by and let it happen without your voice being heard.

May God turn America from this willful separation from Him. Amen.
