Isaiah 58

Scripture:
Proverbs 22:2
God is great, kind, loving. He is the
ultimate of everything we love about Fatherhood. He never falsely accuses us,
ever. He knows what is best for us, what brings us the most happiness and
peace. Yet He never forces us to make the right decision. It has been said that
our government was miraculously woven together by several highly enlightened
men.
While the miracle of America is absolutely
true, the persuasion of these men was undoubtedly this notion of a kind and
benevolent Heavenly Father who blesses those who obey His commandments. Also,
they ardently held to the belief of a just God whose 'judgments will not sleep
forever.' as Abe Lincoln believed was our Civil war... God's punishment on this
country for the sin of slavery.
When our country started to veer off the
course laid out by these Godly founders, we lost our way. We Forgot our blessing came from loving God.
In
the confusion and chaos of the women's movement and civil rights movement,
Christians panicked and did not want to appear backward or bigoted, so, we
caved. We caved when Creation was replaced by a set of theories still yet unproven
and changing every minute. We caved when a woman's body was inseparable from
her baby and thus abortion became the name for legalized infanticide.
No different than Pharaoh killing off all of
the new born babes. We caved, and this one is the most laughable, when prayer
was taken out of schools and not just prayer but every form or mention of God.
What is incredibly ludicrous about this one is that the very book the founders
quoted most was now not legal to be quoted in schools.? Congress has always opened with prayer but
schools cannot? One single Book being banned, censorship of one book.
Jefferson had Bibles printed and given to
Native Americans. He even had the government pay for a minister to preach the
Gospel to them. Congress printed Bibles as their strained relationship with
English printing presses led to fewer books in the US, and they did not want
the American people without the #1.book that led them.
Several presidents and
governors issued serious declarations for unified prayer and fasting to the God
of the Bible and Jesus Christ our Lord. Try issuing one today as student
council president. :) Should schools be held to a different standard then
Congress, the Supreme Court or the president?
Absolutely not. Yet they are.
Why? Christians bought into the lie that it was mean to tell the truth about
God's Word, his form of rewards and punishments. But it is not, it is a
kindness. Let the righteous strike me, it shall be a reward, David says.
What
he means is, we need to be good children in order to receive good things from
our Father and if we do wrong, we will be punished. A country with God as their
Lord will flourish and prosper. A country who ignores His Word, will suffer
avid wrath. Our founding fathers desperately wanted the following generations
to stay the Christ centered course for they knew our republic would be overrun
with dictators and bullies like king George if they strayed. You see, while
imperfect as they were, they knew the rights given to them to overthrow England
were from God and only time could see them through to a brighter day.
The
founding Fathers fasted and prayed like the Israelites before them, for God’s
Divine protection and aid. And what it seemed that the Constitution was at an
impasse, it was Ben Franklin who said, men we have got to pray! We prayed when
lives were on the line, when the fight was most intense, now, at this great
moment in history we need to pray to the God of the Bible once more. Men were
crying, George Washington was humbly on his knees.
This is the scene that
should be played out in every home/classroom in America, this is the scene that
should go before every piece of governmental debate. It doesn't matter that a
Humanist religion has taken over the lawmakers in this country. Do not be
surprised. But go to the only one who
moves on the hearts of men and women and children and He will again revive thus
nation, punish the wicked, and restore the righteous to power so the people can
rejoice!. Love God again!
Proverbs :2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But
when a wicked man rules,
the people groan.
