It seems that liberal history revisionists are rewriting U.S. History in the textbooks of our children and youth.
There is the old political saying, "Tell a lie often enough and loud enough and soon everyone will believe it."
Here are some facts from U.S. History:
- Abraham Lincoln was once talking to a farmer and asked how many legs a cow had. The farmer, of course, said four. Abe then asked him how many legs a cow would have if you counted his tail as a leg. The farmer then said five. Lincoln said, "No, it doesn't matter what you call the tail, the cow still only has four legs." The truth is the truth no matter what someone else may say. The Founding Fathers of this nation understood that God had to be in the equation to understand what truth is.
- Do you know what George Washington's first two acts as president were? 1) When sworn into office he kissed the Bible that was used. 2) He held a two hour worship service in the Congressional Hall.
- Congress voted to put the words, "In God We Trust" on our currency.
- In 1776, eleven of the thirteen colonies required that before you could run for political office that you must be a professing Christian.
- In 1777 Congress voted to spend $300,000 to distribute Bibles across American and in every classroom as part of their curriculum.
- President Harry Truman said, "I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount."
- President Ronald Reagan said, "If American ever forgets that we are one nation under God we will be one nation gone under."
The solutions to our problems are not going to be found in the White House, the Court House or the State House. They are going to be found among God's House. As a nation we have got to get our trust back in God, not in government.
The main problem in our country is that we have strayed so very far from God's Word. We live in a society that has watered down the Bible to suit our own desires.
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. -2 Timothy 4:3 (ESV)
For our nation to be "One Nation Under God" you must first be under God yourself. The more of us that are under God the better we can see our nation turn to God. It can happen! It is only through righteousness that a nation is exalted.
So is the U.S.A. "One Nation Under God"?
My answer:
We have been in the past and we can be again!
