Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. — Jeremiah 2:2
When I was younger, I always felt as though our nation’s history was so much more. the older I get, the more I realize that all of the stories I learned about were not so long ago. In it’s almost 250 years, our nation has gone through a lot of things.
Since our nation was formed, it has continued to transform year after year. Once from a fragile, humble beginning, we became what most regard as the greatest nation to ever exist. I would agree that our nation is great, blessed by God who was the centerpiece of our nation’s creation. But the nation that used to be united under One God is no longer the nation it used to be.
The nation of Israel was no stranger to change and transformation either. They experienced turmoil and growth like any other nation. There was always something they had that others didn’t: the favor of God. I believe the same could be said for the United States as well.
But our nation has been at an interesting point for many years. What used to be a nation united under one God is now a nation divided beyond measure. A nation that continues down a path where God is almost a non-existent part of it.
We can think back of all the many blessings that God has bestowed on our nation. I wonder if God thinks of our nation the way He talked of Israel here. That He remembered when they walked with Him, followed Him, and lived for Him?
Our nation needs God now more than ever. God has blessed us for many years, but our nation has changed. Many no longer want God as part of it. If the United States doesn’t turn back to God, we may soon be a nation without God. Today, take a moment to pray that God continue to bless our nation and guide the hearts of the people to turn back to Him once again!
The world has a way of forming around your thoughts. Just like a police officer that sees a traffic violation where you just glance and shake your head. If the majority don't have some form of God in their heads then that gives rise to no accountability in the minds of weak people. Believing in a person or force who you will be reporting too after this life is all said and done seems to be necessary for our current state of evolution. Kind of like having a police officer in your head quietly whispering "hey, maybe don't do that".
...checks and balances...
For those that say the US was founded as a Christian nation, what principles were the US founded on that is exclusive to Christianity?
What exactly does it mean for the US to be a Christian nation? Should only Christians be allowed to live here, or be citizens? Should Christians get preferential treatment? And if so, who will decide that age old debate of whether or not Catholics are Christians?
America was never founded as a Christian nation.
You’re quite wrong about that. Maybe learn some real history. https://www.khouse.tv/videos/sp2017-e11-william-federer-kings-governments-and-power
You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Watch "Belly of the Beast" - all the evidence is there, just to name a few:
Use discernment instead of getting indoctrinated in "history".
Clearly you fell down a hole and have no idea of how the colonies were formed, who the people were who made up those colonies and why they came to the new world.
I can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink.
If you even study a little bit of the map and architecture of DC you'd know all this "independence" talk is nothing but a fairy tale. I'm glad you mentioned the colonies - 13 colonies represent the 13 body parts of Osiris. Take a look at your US dollar bill - if there's anything Christian about an all seeing eye on top of a pyramid I got a bridge to sell you.
You’re talking about buildings and money, all that came AFTER the forming of the United States. There were more than 13 colonies firmed, those were just the ones that survived. I’m talking about the PEOPLE who came to the new world and the reasons why they came.
Ok let's talk about the people. A few of the "founding fathers":
I can go on and on. Let me know if you want to hear more, but if you just refute the above by regurgitating the official narrative then I can't help you.
You’re not really helping anyone by suggesting that Christians had nothing to do with the founding of this nation. You sound a lot like Barack Obama.
