Our Christian Foundation

My Mom sent me this video. It is about the Christian heritage of America. Including the founders who loved God. This video is the beginning of a series, in which the first video, defines what it means for America to be a Christian nation. Meaning, that our laws, our values, are Christian.

Its a reminder of things for our nation- and things for me, personally. For one, America needs to turn back to God. Things that are evil, have become the norm. While things that please God, have been spurned. America has made one step in the right direction- by re-electing Trump. But we really need to turn from our (For all have fallen short of the glory of God) wickedness. We need to stop pointing fingers, and repent.

Remember that Jesus is our Master and our Friend. When we call Jesus Lord, I do believe, and have experienced, that He enters our lives. Jesus has experienced all manner of temptation just as we have- and as He put it, “I have overcome the world”. Also Jesus said: “Greater love hath no man, than that he lay down his life for his friends”. Jesus laid down His life on the cross, for us. So, Jesus has gone above and beyond to be not only our Master, but our Friend too.

I am sitting here, listening to Christmas music, as I type this. I listen to Star 102.1, which plays all the Christmas music. They play the music through Christmas day. Hence, why I am probably talking about Jesus- His birthday is coming up. But first, we have Thanksgiving. This day was set aside to thank God for what He has done for our nation, and also to thank each other for the various sacrifices we make for each other. It is an important tradition, and I believe we should stick with it till Jesus returns. Along with Christmas.

So, anyways, I just find it to be a fascinating debate about the historical foundations of America being Christian. I remember reading in Rush Limbaugh’s book about the Pilgrims, how even the “Strangers” didn’t dare step off the ship, without first helping to form the Mayflower compact- and to pray. Before they even set foot on land, they had approached God. It seemed to work, because later they became a successful colony. Even though they didn’t land in Virginia as they had hoped.

This blogpost is about the video- I need to rewatch it so I can discuss the material- and I really think you should take a moment, to watch the introduction of the video to get an idea of what the speaker has to say about America’s Christian Heritage. Another reason I need to watch it, is because I want to return to school, and my major is History.

I really like the introduction. The speaker is Gary DeMar. The Title of the first part, is “Fact Or Fiction”. Gary argues, during the introduction, that you cannot appreciate America’s History, without understanding the Christian foundation of it. Just watch it- and appreciate the wisdom being put forth.

Now, for me personally. I believe things in my life, need to be dedicated to God. I have seen it over and over, when I leave God out- I fail. But when I have put God at the center- I met success. I think it will end up being the same thing for America- and I believe America is a preview of what the Millennium will look like, when Jesus reigns on this Earth. God bless you and thanks for reading my post!
