Wake Up America!

Wake up America! No longer can we be silent as our liberties are dwindling in our country. Dr. Jedidiah Morse in an election sermon delivered on April 23, 1799 said, "Our dangers are of two kinds, those which affect our religion, and those which affect our government. They are, however, so closely allied that they cannot, without propriety, be seperated. The foundations which support the interests of Christianity, are also necessary to support a free and equal government like our own. In all those countries where there is little or no religion, or a very grosss and corrupt one, as in Mahometan and Pagan countries, there you will find, with scarcely a single exception, arbitrary and tyrannical governments, gross ignorance and wickedness, and deplorable wretchedness among the people. To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoy. In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation, either through unbelief, or the corruption of its doctrines, or the neglect of its institutions; in the same proportion will the people of that nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom, and approximatethe miseries of complete despotism. I hold this to be a truth confirmed by experience. If so, it follows, that all efforts made to destroy the foundations of our holy religion, ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness. Whenever the pillars of Christianity shalll be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them." ( The Chritian History of the Constitution of the United States of America,pIV) Dr. Morse was right. He recognized Jehovah God as the author of our liberty and the influence of Christianity as the preserving foundation for our liberties. As I read of the "Buyout", I mean, bailout of the American economy, the increased intervention, confiscation and control of our property by the government, the promotion of abortion, "alternative" lifestyles, embryonic stem cell research, proposed nationalization of health care and industry, I am amazed at what is happening. But I understand that these things are happening because we, as a nation, have turned away from the absolute truth of God's Word and embraced all religions. It simply won't work. Learn us return to the truth of the Holy Scriptures. Let us return with humble hearts to the Lord. Let us relearn our American Christian history and principles of government that our forefathers held based upon the Word of God. Let us wake up and reclaim that which has been given to us by God and not the government. This blog is dedicated to educating in the principles of history and government taught from God's Word. Why? I guess it's time for me to wake up.
