The Pilgrims and colonists, who came to this country, were fleeing religious oppression. They came, as the Mayflower Compact said, “for the Glory of God and the establishment of the Christian faith.” The New England Confederation said, “Whereas we all came into these parts of America with one and the same end and aim, namely, to advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and to insure the liberties of the Gospel, in purities with peace.”
Our founding fathers all declared, as well as wrote in their memorials, that this was a Christian nation.
In 1892, the U.S. Supreme Court said: “Our law and our institutions must be necessarily based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of Mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise, and in this sense and that our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian…this is a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single voice making this affirmation…we find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth…THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION.”
But now, there have arisen “principalities and powers” that are at war with everything that lends itself to Christianity in our nation. We saw it with the removal of God, the Bible and prayer, from our public schools. There are many social organizations with tremendous financial backing, which gives them great political clout, along with liberal judges, etc., who use the powers of their office to wage war against Christianity.
Some examples: In North Carolina, the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United For Separation of Church and State, obtained a U.S. Circuit Court decision that states even “a solitary reference to Jesus Christ” in invocations before the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners’ meetings could do “violence to the pluralistic and inclusive values…of American public life.” In Texas, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs continues to censor citizens. At the Houston National Cemetery, the word “God” is banned at funerals for veterans. Families are required to submit prayers or religious messages for government approval. The Bible and cross, once placed in the cemetery chapel, are hidden. Funerals are monitored by government officials…AND THE BEAT GOES ON!
