America, My Home Sweet Home

America; My Home Sweet Home

I love this Country that I call home; where Old Glory proudly waves on every breeze. This United States of America; the home of the free and the brave; a miraculous nation on more fronts that I can begin to count in this article. We are blessed to have had fore-fathers who had the wisdom to write the most amazing political document in all of history; our Constitution. Regardless of what secular progressives and atheists claim, our fore-fathers were for the most part dedicated Christians. Christianity was the closely held cultural consensus of our fore-fathers and the settlers who they represented. Even though our country was not officially founded as a Christian Nation, it was formed to operate by a Christian moral compass; it’s laws based on the Ten Commandments. The educational system was formed primarily for the purpose of teaching children to read the Bible, the government printing and furnishing the Bibles to accomplish this end. Harvard, Yale & Princeton were originally created by the founders as schools of theology. Today, Bibles aren’t even allowed in schools and our universities are hotbeds of liberalism where Christianity is the butt of jokes.Christian symbolism is found on Government Buildings and Government Monuments.

The Christian Bible is used for swearing in and swearing on for all kinds of legal situations, frequently closing with such declarations as “so help me God”.Prayers are still said at the beginning of political and judicial gatherings. There are hundreds of thousands of Christian churches attended by millions of Christian American citizens. This is not my claim. It is borne out by History and statistics. Because of the genius and Christian beliefs of our fore-fathers, we have more freedom, more rights and more opportunity than any country on the planet and religious rights, including Christianity, was at the top of the list of their concerns. They went to great lengths to protect those religious freedoms. We should be on our knees every single day thanking God that by His grace we call this country home. Many of us thank Him, while others take our extraordinary blessings for granted. Unfortunately, and unbelievably, there are those who are blessed to live in this great land that do not love the United States of America and hate the God who created it. They also hate Christians and are doing everything in their power to silence them. Many of them have realized the American dream to an extent that most of us can only imagine, but still they complain. Still they hate.

Our great country is in trouble. The Christian foundation that was laid down by our fore-fathers is being eroded. Secular, atheistic termites are eating away at the freedoms awarded by our Constitution and protected for more than 200 years with the shed blood of our military. And we are allowing it.To a large extent, the “enlightened” of our society are using the first amendment as a club to demolish the Constitution, crush our moral structure and remove Christianity from every aspect of the public square. “Separation of church and State” is their mantra. No matter how erroneous their interpretation of the first amendment, where “separation” is concerned, it has indeed been an effective weapon. Our country trembles at the mention of “Separation of Church and State”. High officials melt into their shoes, clergy gets lockjaw, academia cheers and politicians who should know by memory every jot and tittle of the constitution appear mute and clueless. The “separation” metaphor first uttered forth from Thomas Jefferson’s lips, (per written letter) to the Baptists at Danbury in 1802. He was attempting to assure settlers that here in the new Colonies, there was no need to fear the kind of religious tyranny they had experienced at the hands of King George III of England. He was assuring them that the first amendment protected their religious beliefs and practices from interference from the government; that the government could not tell them what they could or could not do or say; nor where or when they could practice their religion. The first amendment was designed to protect religion from government, NOT to keep religion from having a voice in government or public functions. The word “church” is not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution. The first amendment clearly states; ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”

Deliberate misinterpretation and manipulation of the meaning and intent of the Constitution’s framers has been allowed to systematically and maliciously rob us of freedoms set forth in that Constitution. Chief among the rights that are rapidly diminishing right under our noses are our religious rights. Be assured and be clear, that religion in general is not the target of these malicious groups of secularist, atheist activists. Christianity in particular is the specific target of their hate. They hate Christianity with a vengeance; hate the Judeo Christian basis for the laws of the land and hold Christians in utter disdain.According to them there are no absolutes; No definite rights or wrongs. In other words, morals are for chumps in their view. Thanks to them, prayer, bibles, quoted scripture, the mention of Jesus ’name, (either oral or written), Christmas Carols, the manger scene, the Christian Cross, the Ten Commandments and all other Christian symbolism is banned from public schools and in many cases, from the public square. The theory of Evolution is taught as fact while the very mention of Creationism is banned and will get a teacher, professor, scientist fired from their jobs in one hot second; their careers deliberately and viciously destroyed. They dare not suggest that an intelligent being created the universe and all that is in it.Yet, some schools force students to participate in Islamic customs and religious ceremonies and not a word is heard from the ACLU and other activist groups about “Separation of Church and State”. If parents object, they will be stripped of their parental rights to have a say so in what their children are subjected to in school. Something is so wrong with this picture.Free-for-all sex is encouraged for the sake of sexual enlightenment, Teenage pregnancies, rampant abortion, homosexual agendas, pornography, pedophilia and total abandonment of any kind of moral structure is protected and encouraged by the enemies of Christianity. They feel so enlightened; so on the edge of wisdom; so superior. But they are not. In their arrogance, they believe they’re winning; that they’ve got the world by the tail. But they do not.Jesus Christ, The Lamb of God, The King of the Universe and all that is within it, will, in His own good time, without lifting a finger, smite them into oblivion.

He does not need us to do his work. He does not need our assistance. He is omnipotent. All Powerful. He is also patient, kind and full of grace. He loves us, even those that hate and defile him. He is giving those of us who claim to be his children, the chance to stand up and follow him; to defend His rightful place in our society; our world. He’s giving those who hate him the time and opportunity to see the foolishness of their ways and turn to him before it’s too late. In the meantime, our country that He has so blessed, is crumbling before our eyes. Will we do nothing? Will we not speak up for Him, for this country He has so graciously given us? I pray with all my heart that we will.

Please, SPEAK UP AMERICA!
