From Friday evening at 5 p.m. until Sunday evening at 9 p.m. what are the majority of American's doing?
They are at Synogagoes, Churches, Temples, and Parishes. And if they are not, the television is turned on to at least one Religious program from Joel Osteen to Hour of Power.
America is a Christian nation. And because of America's Christian roots, this nation has a justice system that is overall fair and equitable; a humanitarian system that cares for the poor in this nation and around the world; a military system that liberates rather than conquers; and government that is accountable to the people and to a divine providence that each and every leader has spoken about since George Washington.
Because America is a Christian nation, we see abundance and prosperity in the midst of economic crisis. We open our faucets in the kitchen and clean water pours out! We turn on the TV and even without cable or satellite, we have a hundred stations to choose from. We go to the grocery store and it is always filled to capacity with sales and fresh produce galore.
When we visit a non-Christian nation we see vendors and people selling their produce in the open market. We see ladies carrying large jugs of water from the well to their homes. We see candles and kerosene lamps lighting dimly and sparsely at night homes that have one or two rooms and a basketful of children. We see justice systems that can be bought for $5 dollars US.
We see injustice and discrimination to women and people of a darker color. We see people wearing old clothing and hand me downs. We see disease and filth and hospitals that have little medicine and minimum facilities for patients who cannot afford their treatment anyways.
There is a huge difference in a Christian nation and a non-Christian nation.
Please don't call America secular or a "nation of ideas" only. We have ideas because all good things and breakthroughs come from God. We are a nation that still, thankfully, has printed on our dollar bills, "In God we Trust."
The Ten Commandments which are disdained by some, are the foundation of a civilization that is peaceful prosperous and healthy. Those who would like to eliminate the ten commandments from our society feel that way only because their deeds are evil.
Love God with all your heart. vs Love me first.
Don't worship idols vs Love the things that I can acquire.
Don't take the name of the Lord in Vain vs Nothing is sacred, I curse I swear
Honor your mother and Father vs Honor parents if they please me
Keep one day for God vs Sunday is for me to enjoy forget God
Thou shalt not kill vs I kill because I hate
Thou shalt not steal vs I steal because I can
Thou shalt not lie vs I lie because everyone does it
Thou shalt not commit adultery vs Adultery? What's that
Thou shalt not covet vs I want what I don't have
Living in the first community, you will have peace and safety. Living in the second community you will have chaos and anarchy.
Leaving God out of the picture is a recipe for disaster! Just look at the non-Christian nations.
If you decide to live in a non-Christian nation you need to be rich so that you can live in a big guarded house with a high fence and body guards and enough money to defend yourself.
You also need a escape route in case things get too dangerous.
You just don't appreciate living in America, a Christian nation, until you live in a non-Christian nation.
