| "...the democracy of the US hinged on the Christian ethics and morals. If they disappear the democracy will collapse." ..... Early on in the Operation Iraqi Freedom campaign, our military leaders in the theater of operation predicted that Baghdad would fall from within, not from without. That is what happened. The leadership ran like scared rabbits and the Iraqi military essentially threw in the towel. Both the Greek Empire and Roman Empire crumbled from within, a fall precipated by the moral and spiritual decay of its citizenry. Our nation was conceived and founded on solid ground, the solid ground of belief in and dedication to Christian beliefs and ethics. Today the one Book from which these teachings are derived is banned in the classrooms of our public schools. The lilting poetry of the Psalms and Christ's incomparable Sermon on the Mount have been replaced by the adventures of Harry Potter and the atheistic theory of Charles Darwin. We murder a million and more babies a year and call it pro choice; we endorse sexual perversion and call it an alternative lifestyle. Yet we continue to sing "God Bless America" and retain still the motto "In God we trust" on the face of our coins. We call bigoted and right-wing extremists those who are brave enough to defend their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We severely chastize those who would dare voice their belief that Christianity is true and that pagan religions are false. So, will God keep His hedge of protection forever around a country and a people who make every attempt to shut Him out and shut Him up? Or is America speeding on a crash course to collapse and destruction? "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." [Psalm 127:1] --Hank | ||||||
| 2 | dictatorship superior to democracy? | Dan 2:37 | Just Read Mark | 82392 | ||
| "Church" and "America" are not the same thing. We are called to be very active in the public sphere, shaping the world in which we live. Faith is not just a private, "in the safety of my home" thing. But it is also dangerous when the church panders to be the "State Religion". I have been reading an interesting book: "A Peculiar People", by Rodney Clapp. He shows how the church needs to think more broadly about shaping a culture of justice, in the image of God, that can critique the larger culture. The culture-shaping power of the church has been denied by both the evangelicals and the liberals, by wistfully wishing to turn back the clock. Look at how radical, and political, the early church was! Before compromising with the Roman Empire. Now there is a model to follow. |
