The U.S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself – attributed to Benjamin Franklin
There is no doubt America is being assaulted by an administration that is tyrannical, attempting to rule through policy – not law – only because the American people have become rebels against their own foundational principles and have eaten the fruit of their own ways.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
The front: homosexual marriage. The end: schoolchildren. And no State better illustrates that fact this week than does Minnesota.
I intended to write about the ghoulish Dr. Kermit Gosnell. (Who, by the way, waits for a jury to come in.) But then the reality set in: Kermit Gosnell is only the symptom of an increasingly amoral America. So this piece took a different turn. Years ago Ruth Graham, wife of Billy Graham, made a statement that I thought was a bit over the top: “If God doesn’t soon bring judgment upon America, He’ll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!” Back when Mrs. Graham made this statement, I hardly winced. After all, no one was knocking on my door to have sexual relations with any of my attractive visitors. However, the handwriting was on the wall. We were well on our way to becoming as arrogant, hedonistic, and morally defunct as Sodom – we just didn’t know it.
Earlier, J. Andrew Reid asked whether the soul of our nation was in jeopardy. He really was talking about military religious cleansing – in the United States Armed Forces. The last twenty-four hours have seen fresh proof of precisely the kind of military religious cleansing Reid warned about.
I do not know how many of you have been following the Obama administration’s systematic removal of religion, primarily Christianity, from the military but it is something that you should be aware of and concerned about. It is one more means by which they intend to deconstruct our society’s foundations. Religious values are what make our soldiers who they are. If you think I am wrong on this, if you think that removing God from the military will make no difference to our great society, I offer the following evidence substantiated by history to change your mind.
It is said that one out of every three Americans are Christian. These statistics may mean less than at any other time in our history. Recently one source reported that in fact it may be only 15 percent of Americans are actually professing and practicing Christians. We can hope this is not an accurate statistic, but with so many believers going rogue, liberal and licentious, perhaps, sadly – it is!
A new organization of conservative pastors held its charter meeting in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, last Wednesday. They evoked a term dating from the American Revolution: the Black Robed Regiment.
One man with God is always in the majority. – John Knox
When I ponder the history of the heroes of the faith – Moses confronting the Pharaoh, David confronting Goliath, Gideon and his small army of 300 standing against the oppressive Midianites and King Hezekiah confronted with Sennacherib (the king of Assyria) – I remember that the odds were set against them. When observing their circumstances, I see they had every reason in the world to think that defeat was on the horizon.
