If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ~2 Chronicles 7:14
Is America a Godly Nation?
Of course, MOST of us would say "yes", but do we know why? In our Sunday School Class this has been the subject for 10 weeks now. I have to be honest and say, at first I was all but thrilled to do this study. However, I have learned so much! And to beable to teach the kids what I am learning is such a blessing! I love being able to tell them that it is OK to carry their Bible to school or that they CAN pray over thier food or for eachother while at school. But now, not only am I able to tell them that, but I can also tell them why it is OK & that their teachers, principal or even the government CAN NOT tell them otherwise! If our soldiers can pray while at war, why can't we pray while we are in a school building?
Who had to learn the preamble in school?
'We the people, of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.'
Did you know that our Nation's Founding Father's were God Fearing Men? Thomas Jefferson even took the Bible and wrote what people now call the Jefferson Bible or by it's orignial name, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth. Many people believe that Jefferson was a diest and that he "re-wrote" the Bible to fit his needs. However, this is WRONG! Jefferson actually took the time to study God's Holy Word & put the 4 gospels in chronological order. THAT'S ALL! Benjamin Frankin is the one who introduced the practice of DAILY prayer at the Constituational Convention in June of 1787. And we even get our 3 branches of government from scriptures. "For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us." Isaiah 33:22
There is so much more that I want to share and discuss with you all, however, it is time to call it a night. I will pick up on this matter next week sometime. Have a wonderful weekend.
