How far must we as a Nation drift away from the PROVIDENCE OF GOD before we come to OUR
SENSES...???
Just to illustrate my point.......Play a short ‘GAME’ with me...WHO SAID THE FAMOUS QUOTES BELOW (answers to follow in comment section)...!!!
-
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”
-
“Democracy cannot be sustained without morality, and morality cannot be sustained without religion.”
-
“No government on the face of the earth has the capacity to restrain the power of unbridled human passions without the aid of religion.”
-
“Liberty can only endure and flourish among a virtuous people.”
-
“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.”
-
“I call upon the citizens of our Nation to pray, or otherwise give thanks, in accordance with their own faiths and consciences, for our many freedoms and blessings, and I invite all people of faith to join me in asking for God's continued guidance, grace, and protection as we meet the challenges before us.”
-
“...let us remember in our thoughts and prayers those people everywhere who join us in the aspiration for a world that is just, peaceful, free, and respectful of the dignity of every human being.”
VIRTUE AND GOOD GOVERNMENT are opposite sides of the same coin...!!! Isn’t it time we turn back to God and appeal to OUR CREATOR as stated in 2 Chronicles 7:14:
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Let us take advantage of THIS SEASON OF LENT, when REPENTANCE, FAITH, and RECONCILIATION are stressed, to again pray that GOD’S GRACE be manifested in our land...!!!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...!!!
