Christmas Eve, 2008<\/p>\n
Dear family, friends and fellow Americans:<\/p>\n
In watching \u201cMary, mother of Jesus\u201d on TBN tonight I reflected on how America, a nation founded on Christian principles, has morphed into one of the most ungodly nations in history. America\u2019s motto is \u201cIn God We Trust.\u201d Our national hymn is \u201cGod of Our Fathers.\u201d We pledge an allegiance to \u201cone nation, under God\u2026,\u201dMoses symbolically presides over Congress from his location across from the Speaker of the House. The Ten Commandments are displayed above the chair of the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s Chief Justice, and the 97th Congress declared the Bible to be the word of God in Public Law 97-280.<\/p>\n
Today, it\u2019s clear America is morally, philosophically, institutionally, and financially broke. Was this by accident? NO! Even a superficial look at today\u2019s America will show a silent counter revolution has transformed America into a nation-state of a global government operating in accordance with the godless Communist Manifesto. On 2\/1\/1992, President George Herbert Walker Bush announced America\u2019s demise by saying: \u201cit is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nation\u2019s Charter to which we will henceforth pledge our allegiance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Could it be America\u2019s condition is the result of America being under judgment? And if it is, what has America done to deserve God\u2019s wrath? Let us look at just a few possible reasons.
\u00a0> We are told in Gal. 5:1 to \u201cStand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.\u201d Have we complied? NO!
\u00a0> In Deut. 28:1-13, God told us of the blessings we could expect if we \u201c\u2026hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God\u201d and gave us some instructions. Have we complied with them? NO!
\u00a0> In Deut. 28:15-44, we find the price we would pay by failing to \u201c\u2026hearken unto the voice of the Lord\u201d and that we\u2019d be \u201ccursed\u201d in many ways. Can it be argued we aren\u2019t! NO!
\u00a0> Deut. 28:43-44 reads: \u201c The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; …He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him; he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.\u201d Is this why we owe over $60 trillion in public and private debt and face another $55 trillion plus in unfunded obligations with only about $7.3 trillion in our money supply leaving us no way to pay our debts under current monetary policy? Is this why \u201cthe stranger\u201d cannot be stopped from taking title to all real wealth (homes, farms, etc.) of his choice, holding a mortgage on the remainder and a claim on all future production meaning bondage for this and future generations? The answer is YES!
\u00a0> Perhaps most importantly, the first Commandment says \u201cThou shalt have no other Gods before me.\u201d (Exodus 20:3) Do we? Another unequivocal YES! In the interest of mammon, over 99.7% of our so called \u2019churches\u2019 are incorporated businesses created by the state. Since a created cannot be greater than its creator, it\u2019s self-evident the state is the god of these churches.
\u00a0> Could America\u2019s breakdown be the result of America being a nation of sinners and hypocrites? I suggest it\u2019s not only possible but factual. I further suggest our problem, when distilled to its lowest common denominator, is that America has overlooked the importance of James 4:17 saying \u201cto him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.\u201d People are creatures of habit. So while we know change is needed, we continue doing the same thing over and over while praying for a different result. By definition, this is insanity.<\/p>\n
Though a more knowledgeable Biblical scholar could provide many more reasons as to why America has come under judgment, I accept that we are and pray you do for the question then becomes: what can and should we, as individuals, do in an effort to return America to its moral mooring so it can again enjoy God\u2018s blessings?<\/p>\n
Step 1 is to accept the truth of the thirty Republican governors who said: \u201cFederal action has exceeded the clear bounds of its jurisdiction under the Constitution and thus violated rights guaranteed to the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Step 2 is individual repentance. We must truly regret our sins, earnestly seek deliverance, discard the strange Gods so prominent within our culture, and choose to honor and serve the living God.<\/p>\n
Step 3 is to acknowledge that \u201cFaith without works is dead\u201d (James 2:20) and make a commitment to practice our faith through action; the first act being to demand any \u2018churches\u2019 (businesses) we support un incorporate and preach the full Gospel if they hope to continue to receive our support.<\/p>\n
Step 4 is to accept the \u201cFederal Action\u201d alluded to by the Republican governors would be impossible if those in government believed in God. They don\u2019t! This was made clear on 11\/12\/2003 by Alabama Attorney General Pryor when questioning Alabama\u2019s former Chief Justice Roy Moore before the Court Of The Judiciary. AG Pryor asked Justice Moore: “And your understanding is that the Federal Court ordered that you could not acknowledge God; isn\u2019t that right?\u201d Judge Moore said, \u201cYes.\u201d AG Pryor continued, \u201cAnd if you resume your duties as Chief Justice after this proceeding, you will continue to acknowledge God as you have testified that you would today?\u201d Judge Moore replied: \u201cThat\u2019s right.\u201d AG Pryor continued: \u201cNo matter what any other official says?\u201d Judge Moore replied \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the basis of his testimony, the Alabama Court of the Judiciary removed Chief Justice Moore from office and had the Ten Commandments Monument removed from the Alabama Supreme Court Building. And while God may continue to live in the hearts and minds of some of us, we are being denied the right to openly practice our faith and to live under the biblical principles reflected in our Constitution; principles that are the foundation of liberty.<\/p>\n
Step 5 is to recognize the bad news and act on the good news. Our nation\u2019s founders left us the tools with which to peacefully put a stop to this criminal “Federal action” and Take America Back to its lawful, biblically inspired foundation. Our need is to use them!<\/p>\n
The effective use of these tools demands unity of spirit and action by millions of people! None are in a better position to foster unity than pastors and veterans. They are geographically dispersed, have the numbers, needed facilities, and most importantly, the obligation. We can improve the probability of realizing our goal if we follow Medori Severi\u2019s advise saying: “until we abandon our manifold private agendas and unite, we will merely be hapless observers standing at the bottom of a dark, deep pit, wistfully hoping to save the world, but really doing little more than breaking the fall of compatriots who are pushed in on top of us\u2026. Only by uniting in a common effort devoid of subjective paradigms will we be able to mold the human spirit upon which we may ascend to freedom…..”<\/p>\n
