One of my favorite authors is Cleon Skousen! He is a prolific writer on our American freedoms and his love of God! If I can…
“The Lord does not reap down a nation until it is altogether ripe unto destruction. It is not the purpose of God to destroy nations but to build them up. He desires to bless, not punish.
Nevertheless, God will not be mocked, and when any people begin to glory in their wickedness - to subvert and destroy the work of the Lord - then he has no alternative.
As in the case of Rome, the decline begins in that hour when the cross currents of national life begin to ebb and flow with a rapidity wholly baffling to the ingenuity of human leadership; and because a wicked nation will not submit to divine leadership they soon become their own worst enemies.
Because of distrust, jealousy and unholy ambitions among the people themselves, the very structure of their civil government soon threatens to collapse. It is at such a time that the people begin to lose confidence in their system of government. A crisis is precipitated by the populous demanding a change. This is a typical evolution of events in a nation which is sick at heart and will not admit that its growing lethargy is the result of poison issuing from within its own members.
Constitution shall hang by a thread! “Even this nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground, and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin, this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean, and they shall bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction.”
Love of God - respect, love, appreciation and affection for our country!
Samuel Fuller (mayflower) is my 12 great grandfather! On my fathers side, Massasoit (NA chief) is my 10th great grandfather!
Many of us don’t realize what our progenitors sacrificed on our behalf for our freedoms! I’m humbled and in awe by it.
It sickens me where we’re headed— the sweetness of my childhood compared with what today’s children/teens are experiencing is unforgivable! Yet, it has a direct correlation between those who love God - and our country!
Would you believe as a child, our school took a field trip to astronaut John Glenn’s home. Not the home that set up as a museum currently, but his actual home.
There were no individual IEP’s, parental interference, saying that Johnny can’t have nuts, or needs his diaper changed on the bus! Father Manning and Sister Mary Anthony threatened us with our life! And we complied! Lol
I’ll never forget JG wife saying do you wanna know where an astronaut keeps his suit? ..she opened the closet and showed it to us.
That would never happen in this day and age. And we all know why. I’m so grateful for what I experienced as a child.
I’m so grateful for the Lord’s Prayer, and the pledge of allegiance before the start of class!
