I was twenty-seven years old before I ever had the privilege of hearing the song, God Bless America. It became a joy to me, and my prayer. In fact, I first heard the song at a business meeting. I wonder why I had never heard it before that time, in either school or church? It is such a powerful song of devotion directed to our nation under God that one would think that either in church or in the public school I would have heard it, but before that time, at that business meeting I had not ever heard it. The words are: God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her, though the night with your light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam. God bless America, my home sweet home.

American people, do you know that the Christian faith was so prevalent at the time of the Revolutionary War that the slogan of the days was, “We have no king save Jesus”? As a point of fact, that is the greatest part of the reasoning behind our national fathers revolting from King George’s England. They were convicted that they could not abide under his ungodly rule and sincerely serve Christ at the same time. That is the reason why with the declaration of Independence there was submitted to King George a list of 60 plus long standing grievances that the first American colonies held against him.

Let us now fast forward in time some 230 years. Do we now think we can continue as a nation and overcome the incredible vices that grip us, such as crime, the murder of our unborn (abortion – 40 million plus now “legally” killed), oppressive taxation, pornography, the sewage-that the great bulk of modern television programing has become, fornication among our youth, the growing oppressive inclusion and dominance of various levels of government in every walk of life, divorce, the rebellion of our youth, a government that covers up the reality that the 911 destruction of the New York Twin Towers was obviously a preplanned, well executed demolition job that could have in no way been done by any foreigner, the depletion and corruption of our foods leading to a nation wide health crisis, etc., without sincerely turning to God? Apparently our national father-George Washington, did not think this nation could be run without turning to, and obeying God. For after the Revolutionary War he wrote to each of the governors of the thirteen states and said, “I now make it my earnest prayer that God….would incline the hearts of the citizens….to entertain a brotherly affection for one another, particularly for their brethren who have served in the field. And finally, that He would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation.” Read the rest of this entry »
