So Help Me God

The battle for American liberty is the battle for American Christianity. Christians largely don't get it. They are locked into a religious viewpoint, oblivious of the greater battle being waged against them and the word of God. 

In order for the new socialist order to be completed in the United States, they must not only defeat the forces of liberty, but also the forces of Christianity. It is actually the religious zeal that they fear more than a few dedicated patriots. I suggest that the Marxist bureaucracy thirsts for the rebellion of the patriots, to kill off the last few hold-outs of Constitutional authority and to forever brand "patriots" as lunatics who should be disarmed and exterminated.

THE 10 ABSOLUTE WORST PLACES IN THE WORLD TO BE A CHRISTIAN

January 8, 2014, The Blaze

Open Doors USA, an organization that monitors and exposes Christian persecution around the globe, has released its “2014 World Watch List” — a report that highlights and ranks the worst nations in the world to be a Christian.

Topping the list this year are countries known for brutal government crackdowns or for the uncontrolled and murderous tactics of extremist groups within their borders.

The absolute worst places to be a Christian this year are: North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The below graphic shows the top 10 most brutal countries for believers; the 2013 results are also present to the right, so you can see where these nations placed last year (for a full explanation on the 2013 results, read our previous coverage):

Alan L. Keys: Americans without God- No Longer a nation?

In a recent WND article Bill Federer cites Barack Obama's emphatic proclamation, back in 2006: "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation." Mr. Federer then proceeds to detail the fact that prove incontrovertibly that, when the American people ratified the U.S. Constitution, Christianity was the formally declared basis for public service in 9 of the 13 original States; and that conformity with tenets or practices consistent with the Christian religion were declared or required in the Constitutions of the others....

Throughout its history, certain features of American life have been critically important, not only to people born and raised in the United States, but even more to others who heard about them. Many came to America. Many more longed to come because what they heard about America inspired them with a strong desire to live the American way....

How Education, Literacy & the University Came From Christianity & Are Dying Without It

How Education, Literacy & the University Came From Christianity & Are Dying Without It

As incredible as it may now seem, the entire history of Western education is steeped in the Christian faith. In fact, it is quite likely that without the foundational work of the Church, the modern world would not exist.

Without exemplary Christians like Charlemagne, Christian missionaries, and their worldview, there would be no modern university. Further, schools for the poor, or literacy programs would probably not have been launched without belief that each person needed to be able to read to access God’s Word.

Ironically, after helping establish the modern world, the formerly Christian-created university systems have been co-opted to be used as a relentless battering ram against faith, church and God. Yet, at the same time intellectual standards have utterly fallen, the West appears on the brink of lapsing into a new Dark Age. If America is to last into the new millennium, we must repent of this move towards darkness, reject our spiritual coma and once again embrace the light of intellectual rigor and the search for truth.

How liberalism became our state religion

By Benjamin Wiker

March 25, 2013

As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against gay marriage we might stand back from the whole judicial fracas and ask ourselves a larger and hopefully more startling question: “What is the government doing deciding what marriage is?” 

This is really two questions in one. First, how did it come to be that we, as a culture, are in a position where something seemingly so natural, something that existed long before any governments were around, is now up for debate? Second, why is it that we would look to a branch of the government to settle that debate?  The answer to the first question is rather complex. For centuries (not just decades) liberalism has been picking away at the Christian foundations of Western culture. Liberalism is, in essence, a secular and secularizing movement; it is historically defined by its opposition to Christianity. Wherever secular liberalism spreads, Christianity recedes. Look at Europe.

Christianity defined marriage by what we might call radical monogamy: a life-long, entirely exclusive union of one man and one woman. No sex before marriage. No concubines. No polygamy. No divorce (except for infidelity). No homosexuality. No fiddling with little boys.

The pagan Roman culture into which Christianity was born smiled on sex wherever, whenever, and with whomever it occurred. Marriage was an important social institution in Rome, but it was not defined by radical monogamy. Concubines? No problem. Sex with your male and female slaves? No big deal. Divorce? Happens all the time. Got a favorite boy? Don’t we all. Like pornography? We’ll paint the walls of your villa next week.   Homosexuality was as widespread in Rome as it was in Greece, and, yes, in Rome there was gay marriage. Right at the top of society. The emperor Nero married one Pythagoras, and we have reports of other such unions.

That was the marital, sexual status quo of the society into which Christianity was born. As Rome fell, and Christianity rose, the Christian understanding of sexuality and marriage transformed the Roman Empire—proto-Europe, we might call it. With that transformation the radical monogamy of Christianity became the social, moral, legal standard, so normal that it was regarded as natural.

It is only because Christianity won out over pagan Rome that we are having arguments about marriage today. If Christians had been summarily extinguished by imperial Rome, radical monogamy would have disappeared with it, along with opposition to homosexuality.

Clash of Faith and Tyranny

Sharon Sebastian: Clash of Faith and Tyranny
February 8, 2013

Tyrants in-the-making initially display the veneer of compassion for “their people.” They make irrational promises of a utopian existence to garner support of the masses. Their power often emanates from public adulation. Such adulation, combined with a tyrant’s narcissistic inability to be self-critical, imbues a superiority that progresses into self-worship. The greater their power, the more tyrants succumb to self-glorification even to the point of challenging the laws of God. Progressively, they enforce an aberrant legal system with fines, penalties and punishments to force compliance to their will. Those who disagree, pay severe retributions. Devaluing life is key, in that it allows for mistreatment or eventual eradication of selected groups whether they are in opposition or indefensible numbers. Absolute control comes with the power to decide the death of citizens without legal oversight. It is the way of tyrants.

The foundation for modern despotism was laid in mid-1800 when the false scientific justification to deny God as Creator started with a man named Charles Darwin. Darwin’s theory of evolution divided humans into superior and inferior status. Darwin, in his own writings, labeled people of color, in particular black people, as sub-par and sub-human. The theory was eventually applied to poor, white Europeans. The appeal of such a theory held great appeal to men who both denied the existence of God and sought personal and political superiority. Among them was Karl Marx, the father of Communism, who was so pleased with Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution that he sent him gifts, including a signed copy of Das Kapital in 1873 inscribed: “From a devoted admirer to Charles Darwin, Karl Marx.“ Equally grateful to Darwin were mass murderers Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler. All wrote of Darwin’s influence on them and their policies to oppress masses of people. (For more on Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler’s views on evolution, see Chapter 5 of Darwin’s Racists – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, (www.DarwinsRacists.com).

Socialism seeks to diminish God in society. Marxism’s goal is to ultimately rid society of God. Exposure of both ideologies occurs when the tyrant’s diktats openly collide with God given rights and laws. Christian Purge: The Hitler Factor states: Adolf Hitler allowed religions. Early in his political career, he praised Catholicism. Initially, he also was favorably inclined toward Christianity. In time, as he garnered power, Hitler came to find Christianity particularly troublesome when Christian pastors spoke out against his systematic annihilation of Germany’s Jews. Hitler set out to wash the veneer of Christian beliefs from German society. He sought a new religion that would spring from the Nazi party with the pagan Swastika as its symbol to replace the Cross as he sought to transform Germany into a new nation. In time, Hitler allowed comment that: “You can be German or you can be Christian, but you can’t be both.” Hitler declared, “Evolution was the natural order of things,” allowing him to debase Jewish people, homosexuals and the disabled to a lower evolutionary scale and send them to death camps for extermination. He allowed that, “National Socialism and Christianity cannot co-exist together.” Historians record that Hitler’s religious views vacillated as his power grew until it became difficult to discern if the god Hitler actually worshipped was himself.

Hitler created the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis) and surrounded himself with men who were atheists or occultists who shared the desire to replace Christianity with a religion that did not require conscience. Men like Hitler’s Deputy Chancellor of the Reich, Rudolph Hess, and Heinrich Himmler, who oversaw the Nazi death camps, were occultists. Himmler stated a preference for the faith of anti-Semitic Muslims who were willing to die for the German cause to attain a reward in their heaven. German school children were indoctrinated to sing praise songs, “Hitler is our Savior, Hitler is our Lord.” Hitler made his memoir, Mein Kampf, the official bible of Nazism.

Letter to the Editor: Sunday Voting Craven County

I have just learned that the NC State Board of Elections (NCBOE) has agreed to allow citizens to vote on two Sundays during the month of October.

I was extremely disappointed at the ruling, especially after our county board by majority, had voted against the measure.

Sunday voting is just one more stab at Christianity period. As it now stands we have several voting options for those who find it difficult to vote on Election Day.

Option 1) For those who are unable to leave their home or place of residence, they can request an absentee ballot that can be filled out, signed by a witness and sent in. No travel necessary all done through our postal service from the comforts of home.

Option 2) For those that can travel but are handicapped, you can go to the drive up area for voting. A poll member will come to you in your vehicle bringing a ballot and then return your ballot in to the polling station.

Option 3) For those who can not vote on Election Day, early voting is done throughout the counties offering many different voting opportunities and times.

Option 4) Election Day itself, for those who don’t mind the lines and prefer to vote on the big day.

With that said there is NEVER a reason for an individual not to vote due to voting inability.

As I write this, we have men and women overseas literally fighting and dying so that those in other countries can have the right to a free country. Some of those countries, Iraq for example, have just allowed their citizen’s to vote for the first time in their lives. These people WALKED to polling locations in extreme weather, risking their own lives and the lives of their families, some were actually killed trying to exercise their new freedom. But the ones who survived were proudly showing their purple fingers to the cameras with enormous smiles on their faces professing freedom.

What is wrong with Americans who have so many opportunities yet take every one of them for granted!?

“And on the 7th day thou shalt rest”. “Remember the Sabbath, to keep it Holy”, “A Holy day, a Sabbath rest to the Lord”, “You shall keep My Sabbath’s and reverence My sanctuary; I am the Lord”,

I could go on for entire pages about what Scripture says about the Sabbath and the rest on it, the Holiness of it and the adherence to it. When we eat at restaurants on Sunday’s we promote business on that day, when we shop on Sunday’s we promote business on that day, when we do anything but rest and enjoy our families on Sunday’s we are going against what He told us, so now government entities are allowing political endeavors on Sunday’s. Is there any wonder why?

We, myself included, are to blame.  I pray not a single sole shows up to vote on Sunday’s. I pray individuals who claim the title of Christian will see the truth behind this as with the no prayer in Christ’s name at public meetings, no prayer at educational sports or other events, no public building displaying the 10 Commandments and so on. I also pray that Christian’s will read God’s word for themselves, not taking anyone’s word for it, including mine, seeing for themselves what He requires of us, “If you love me, keep my commandments…”

If Jesus Had Never Been Born

by Tim Wildmon, December 22, 2011

If Jesus Christ had never been born, there would be no United States of America.

After Jesus left this earth, Christianity spread from the Holy Land to modern-day Turkey to Greece and Italy and then covered the rest of Europe. In fact, Christopher Columbus wrote that his discovery of the New World was inspired by "...the Holy Spirit, because he comforted me with rays of marvelous inspiration from the Holy Scriptures." Indeed, if it were not for Christmas, we would not be living in the greatest country and most generous country in the history of mankind.

In 1950, President Harry Truman gave a speech to the Attorney General's conference. This is what he said: "The fundamental basis of this nation's laws was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and Saint Matthew, from Isaiah and Saint Paul. I don't think we emphasize that enough these days...."

Truman's message reminds me that there was a day that many reading this can remember, when the Christian value system was the common value system that governed our country. It fostered self-control and served as the basis of our laws. It was understood. It did not matter if you were a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, Christian or not (Truman was a Democrat, by the way).

Today, if a President of the United States were to say the very same thing Truman said in 1950, he would be called a member of the "religious right" and publicly ridiculed for trying to mix church and state.

If Jesus Christ had never been born, obviously, there would be no Christmas celebration or even a "holiday season." Think about it. Thanksgiving Day is based in America's Christian roots. New Year's Day is based on a calendar that measures time from the birth of Jesus Christ. Or, as our Founding Fathers wrote: "In the Year of Our Lord."The American economy depends heavily on people buying other people Christmas gifts each year. That is why the idea of "holiday" shopping is so ridiculous. No one buys gifts to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The kids don't run downstairs at 5:00 a.m. on New Year's morning. Overwhelmingly, Americans exchange gifts with friends and family precisely because it is Christmas. Ask American retailers and they will tell you -- it's the most wonderful time of the year.

AMERICAN MINUTE: Alexis de Tocqueville

 July 29   (Add this to your Constitutional Studies!)


Alexis de Tocqueville was born JULY 29, 1805.A French social scientist, he traveled the United States in 1831, and wrote a two-part work, Democracy in America (1835, 1840), which has been described as:  "the most comprehensive and penetrating analysis of the relationship between character and society in America that has ever been written."

In it, de Tocqueville wrote:   "Upon my arrival in the United States the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention; and the longer I stayed there, the more I perceived the great political consequences resulting from this new state of things, to which I was unaccustomed.

In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in opposite directions. But in America I found they were intimately united and that they reigned in common over the same country..."

De Tocqueville continued:  "They brought with them...a form of Christianity, which I cannot better describe, than by styling it a democratic and republican religion...From the earliest settlement of the emigrants, politics and religion contracted an alliance which has never been dissolved."

De Tocqueville wrote:  "Religion in America...must be regarded as the foremost of the political institutions of that country; for if it does not impart a taste for freedom, it facilitates the use of it...This opinion is not peculiar to a class of citizens or a party, but it belongs to the whole nation."

De Tocqueville observed:  "The sects that exist in the United States are innumerable. They all differ in respect to the worship which is due to the Creator; but they all agree in respect to the duties which are due from man to man. Each sect adores the Deity in its own peculiar manner, but all sects preach the same moral law in the name of God...


Moreover, all the sects of the United States are comprised within the great unity of Christianity, and Christian morality is everywhere the same."

De Tocqueville added:  "In the United States the sovereign authority is religious...There is no country in the whole world where the Christian religion retains a greater influence than in America...


America is still the place where the Christian religion has kept the greatest real power over men's souls; and nothing better demonstrates how useful and natural it is to man, since the country where it now has the widest sway is both the most enlightened and the freest."

De Tocqueville continued:  "In the United States the influence of religion is not confined to the manners, but it extends to the intelligence of the people...Christianity, therefore reigns without obstacle, by universal consent..."

De Tocqueville continued:  "The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other; and with them this conviction does not spring from that barren traditionary faith which seems to vegetate in the soul rather than to live."


In Book Two of Democracy in America, de Tocqueville wrote:  "Christianity has therefore retained a strong hold on the public mind in America...In the United States...Christianity itself is a fact so irresistibly established, that no one undertakes either to attack or to defend it."

In August of 1831, while traveling through Chester County, New York, Alexis de Tocqueville observed a court case:  "While I was in America, a witness, who happened to be called at the assizes of the county of Chester, declared that he did not believe in the existence of God or in the immortality of the soul. The judge refused to admit his evidence, on the ground that the witness had destroyed beforehand all confidence of the court in what he was about to say...


The New York Spectator of August 23d, 1831, relates the fact in the following terms:  'The court of common pleas of Chester county (New York), a few days since rejected a witness who declared his disbelief in the existence of God. The presiding judge remarked, that he had not before been aware that there was a man living who did not believe in the existence of God; that this belief constituted the sanction of all testimony in a court of justice: and that he knew of no case in a Christian country, where a witness had been permitted to testify without such belief.'"

Rep. Clyburn Targets Christians Who Support GOP Medicare Plan: ‘Immoral’ and ‘Un-American’

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) has a bone to pick with Republicans who claim allegiance to Christianity, yet support the GOP Medicare plan. In an appearance on MSNBC yesterday, the congressman believes that these individuals are acting contrary to Christian doctrine, as they continue to make life more difficult for the poor and those in need. He said:


“I always find it very interesting that people talk all about their from Christianity and all these other religions that teach love. All that teach taking care of the poor. All of which talk about doing for the least of these. Yet, they continue to heap burden upon burden upon people who can stand it the least.”

Lloyd Marcus: Liberal vs Conservative: A Spiritual Battle.

Liberal vs Conservative: A Spiritual Battle.
Posted by Lloyd Marcus on June 5, 2011


Without beating around the bush, I believe the battle being fought in America today goes beyond politics; right vs left. It is a spiritual battle; good vs evil.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”  Ephesians 6:12

The mindset of the American left is a spirit of Antichrist which is man making himself God.

Before writing me off as a Bible nut, please hear me out. Understanding this reality will explain much of the left's behavior. Because they believe man is God, in their insane arrogance, the left think they can fix everything; legislate equal outcomes and even save or destroy the planet.

Make no mistake about it folks, we are in a spiritual battle. Ask yourself. Specifically, what about Sarah Palin inspires such visceral hatred from the left? The word is “wholesome”.


For the most part, Palin promotes love for God, family and country. She is passionately determined to thwart Obama's plan to “fundamentally transform America”.

While realizing Palin is human and does not walk on water, Palin epitomizes heartland principles and values embraced by most Americans. Thus, we are Palin and Palin is us.


The large number of Christians in the tea party believe in right and wrong. The left has a huge problem with the concept of right and wrong. Their religion of Liberalism embraces Moral Relativism.

For these reasons, Palin and tea party are as repulsive to liberals as showing Dracula the cross.

There is definitely an anti-wholesome, anti-goodness vibe coming out of Hollywood. Hollywood leftists are vehemently anti death penalty. They rally around convicted murderers. They think anyone harming a puppy should be beaten within any inch of their life. These Hollywood libs pride themselves as being Lords of Compassion and Tolerance.


And yet, these same libs have a cow whenever someone merely suggests to a woman that she think twice before aborting her baby. Tell me there “ain't” something spiritually wrong with such a mindset.


Because liberal elitists think man is God, they assume moral authority to confiscate as much control over our lives we simple minded god fearing peons will allow, including procreation.


I picked up a government funded brochure at my local library which basically said birthing babies is an irresponsible abuse of the planet.


Folks, this is leftist control freak hogwash! The seven billion people who live on the planet could fit in Texas enjoying about the same amount of living space as residents of New York.

God said be fruitful and multiply. But then, what the heck does God know?

In her book, “Godless”, Ann Coulter said, “If a Martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is Liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law”.

I concur with Ms Coulter. The mainstream media is controlled by zealots of Liberalism who I believe are driven by a spirit of Antichrist; man is God. Thus, only man can and will fix everything.

Why does the left aggressively demand that we show utmost respect for every religion under the sun except Christianity? Remember when libs Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar stormed off the set of The View TV program when they concluded Bill O'Reilly dissed Muslims?

And yet, Rosie O'Donnell outrageously stated “Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America”. Not one peep of disagreement or disapproval from the left.

Islam suppresses women. And yet, liberal self proclaimed feminists Goldberg, Behar and O'Donnell illogically defend Islam. These three feminists despise the extraordinarily successful Christian liberated woman, Sarah Palin. Rosie O'Donnell even lamented that Osama bin Laden did not get a fair trial.


Unquestionably, these women have issues with America and Christians; a spirit of Antichrist. At the center of Christianity is a divine Jesus. If Jesus is God, the left is not.

Even our most liberal president ever, Obama, dissed heartland Americans for “bitterly clinging to their god and guns”. Would a true Christian berate folks for finding security in trusting God?

Like an episode of Star Trek, the left believes universal peace can be achieved via America apologizing and admitting to the world that “we suck”, surrendering our power, signing treaties and singing a few verses of “Kumbaya”.

They believe the greatest source of evil in the world is warmongering Christian white guys like George Bush. If only Bush had, “Given peace a chance”.

Liberals always cater to man's lowest base instincts. They hate standards for behavior, labeling all rebuke of bad behavior as being intolerant and judgmental. And yet, they believe without divine influence, man is capable of someday achieving universal peace. Totally absurd.


Christians believe that though we strive to do the right thing, the heart of man is critically flawed which is why we were in need of a savior, Jesus Christ.


Obama's promise to “fundamentally transform America” is a spiritual attack on our freedom, liberty and culture.

Despite the left's relentless attempts to ban God from America's public square, the emergence and power of the tea party tells me God is still on our side.


Mr. Obama, though your liberal zealots perceive you to be “the messiah”, God is still on the throne. Come November 2012, you're fired!

De Facto Shariah Law in America

Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally

Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally & American Obedience to God
By Jared Law -- Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Glenn Beck's 8.28: Restoring Honor Rally and the leadup thereto, including America's Divine Destiny, Glenn Beck's program the night before at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which is available on Glenn Beck's Insider Extreme, along with many 8.28-related video clips (and Beck University, which includes Faith 101, 102, 103; Hope 101, 102, 103, and Charity 101, 102, & 103, in addition to many history lesson-video clips), constitute the greatest assortment of exhortations to do the right thing, to turn to God, to be righteous, outside of any official church function or event, that I have ever witnessed, not to mention a great honoring of America's military heroes. It is a cultural masterpiece, reminding us of the role that Christianity played in the founding of this nation, while at the same time, applying the principles embodied in Natural Law and Nature's God to our current state of affairs in 21st Century America.

The United States of America is the greatest nation on Earth, and no rational, unbiased observer can effectively dispute this fact. We have contributed more to mankind's liberty, to human comfort and actual progress, than any other nation on Earth. Obviously, credit for this goes to God, since HE blessed us with such an inspired form of government as that outlined in The Constitution of the United States of America. God is the One who embedded the Principles of Freedom which are enshrined in the Constitution of the United States of America therein. True, our Founding Fathers share the credit, since they obeyed God, and did what they were inspired to do, but it all goes back to God.

But back to America; I agree with all who argue that Glenn Beck has been inspired by God; he has, by listening to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit, organized something that the enemies of freedom, embodied and otherwise, simply cannot dismiss, nor can they criticize it, not without condemning themselves as being in open rebellion against God and The United States of America.

Now, after having a few days to ponder what Glenn Beck has accomplished, with Providential Aid, I have come to the conclusion that the Restoring Honor rally an absolute miracle (in this day and age, what Glenn Beck was able to pull off, both in terms of our attendance, the program, the symbolic/historic location and the symbolic/historic date, was unquestionably a miracle). However, it was short-lived if the only thing that happens was a good time had by all, some tears shed, the spirit felt, and a great sigh of relief that we're restoring America.

We MUST continue to work at self-control (self-government), we must continue to become a more truthful nation, we must continue to be more honest with ourselves and our families, our friends, neighbors, and other peers. We must be loyal to our oaths, and more true to our covenants. We must pray more, and for those of us not praying, we must begin to pray multiple times a day. Never eat without blessing your meal, even if it's at Wendy's, In-N-Out, Ruth's Chris, or a local Mexican or Chinese restaurant. Don't be afraid to pray, even in public.

We must do our best to attend our church, if we have one, and if we don't have one, find one. If we attend a church, pay a full tithe. If we don't find one. When you pray at home, with or without your family, pray on your knees. Humble yourselves before your creator. Turn to God, America! If we fail to do so, we will fail to qualify for the Providential Aid we so desperately need!

Remember, we must act as if it all depends on us, and pray as if it all depends on God!

And if we can make the Restoring Honor rally the BEGINNING of a real, deep, broad, complete Third Great American Awakening, then we will have God on our side, and we will have won the battle, on the way to doing our part to win the war. Let's be on God's side; He's on ours if we will let him in!

Now some of you (very few of you, based upon what I've seen so far on our network) don't believe in God. Some of you tolerate us religious folk, and you just don't understand why we choose to believe in a God we cannot see. The answer is Faith. Faith is:

Heb. 11: 1

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

What that means is that faith is something we hope for, that we cannot see evidence for. In other words, faith is a choice. It's as simple as choosing to believe that you are more than the product of evolution, more than a descendant of apes and an evolutionary accident, and that there is life after death, and that God does, in fact, exist, and he created the heavens and the Earth, and that you he created your spirit body, and there's more to life than mere accumulation of money and power.

It also means that our Heavenly Father loves us, just as all good Fathers here on Earth do, and that he expects us to do good, he wants us to be happy, and that his commandments are more than a bunch of aphorisms; we will actually be judged based upon how we live our lives, how we strive to keep His commandments, and if we choose to repent and ask to be forgiven our sins, so we can be clean at the Judgment Bar of God after this life.

And since he wants us to be happy, it stands to reason he wants us to be free. It means the Constitution of the United States of America is an inspired document, and it was meant for the protection of ALL MANKIND. Meaning that it was created not only for us, but for all, if their country will, as a nation, choose to adopt a written constitution something like ours, to guarantee their freedoms, as ours are guaranteed.

Our Founding Fathers knew, also, that only a righteous people can be governed by such a Constitution. In fact, John Adams said, on October 11, 1798, that:

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

And so it is.

The more a nation's people refuse to govern themselves (self control), the more need they have of tyrannical constraints. That is why it is best if we are a moral and a religious people; if we have the constraints that religion and morality place upon us, the Constitution is perfect. If not, more laws, regulations, etc. are required to preserve the rights of potential victims, but then the liberty of all is constrained. Eventually that leads us to where we are now. We never would have allowed ourselves to get in it so deep had we been a more righteous nation before now.

Thank the Lord Almighty for repentance! Now if only...if only every American who had heard of the 8.28 Rally would hold this sacred: Restoring Honor Starts With Me!

May America Turn Back to God, and may God Continue to Bless The United States of America!
