Country has drifted from biblical teaching
Thursday July 2, 2009
In anticipation of experiencing another day commemorating our independence, I looked up the definition of patriotic. I found it as follows: "One who loves his country and jealously guards its welfare." I love our country and appreciate the many freedoms we enjoy, particularly our freedom to worship, and I am reminded that 52 of the 55 men who signed our Constitution were so claimed orthodox evangelical Christians. When I think of how our country has drifted from the many biblical beliefs/teachings that were practiced at that time, I am dismayed.
The Bible was considered to be God's Word and a guide for living, and was the basis for our laws. Today the Bible is made fun of and is no longer taught to our children. Consequently our morals have deteriorated to such an extent that I think our country is in danger of self-destruction.
