“Is America on Life-Support?” (Part One)
From the beginning of time, every nation has had its challenges, struggles, and even times when complete failure was emanate. America has encountered its share of tribulation since our founding, yet the past few years have deteriorated the health of our nation to a “critical condition.” And, if something isn’t done soon, the prognosis could be fatal.
It seems that every aspect of our society is experiencing some sort of malady. What is the underlying cause? Short answer: We have removed God from every facet of our society and nation. Our Founding Fathers, and those who were influential during those times, had a great deal to warn us about if we, as a nation, veered from the fact that our country was established as “one nation under God.” Clergyman, geographer, and author of educational text books, Jedediah Morse, stated in a sermon on April 25, 1799: “To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness, which mankind now enjoys…Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government—and all blessings which flow from them—must fall with them.”
Well Mr. Morse, it looks like that is exactly what has happened in America today. Since we have put God on a shelf, so to speak, that only opens the door wider for satanic influence. Here’s just a glimpse of the issues and problems our nation is now facing as a result of removing God from every aspect of our lives.
Election Integrity: True liberty in the United States depends on supporting our system of government through free and fair elections at all levels. Despite the deniers on the left, voter-fraud is very real and pervasive. Sadly, the disdain for our nation has infiltrated the justice system when they refuse to even hear cases of blatant voter-fraud, which is amply supported by volumes of evidence. How easy it would be to fix this problem through voter ID, same-day elections, cleaned-up voter rolls, and paper ballots. But, Satan certainly doesn’t want that now, does he! Too often we fail to look back at history and glean valuable lessons to apply to our current times. In biblical times, the Israelites repeatedly turned their back on God. As a result, God would punish them. Is He about to punish America? With God’s help, we can restore integrity to our ailing election process.
“Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.” Proverbs 28:5
Socialist Education System: First the Supreme Court removed prayer from schools in 1962, then they ruled in 1977 that removing “paddles” (corporal punishment) from public schools was to be left up to the states. Today, seventeen states still view it as a legal practice in public schools, whereas, it is allowed in private schools in every state except New Jersey. Now, this is not to infer that paddling is the best practice, but it sure beats (excuse the pun) having no disciplinary measures at all—to the point of the “inmates running the asylum.” Most school districts in America today are losing teachers by very high percentages due to the untamed and unmanaged violence on the part of undisciplined students. I bet some of those teachers are praying in schools each day, that they can return to their families without harm.
Do you think we would have curriculums littered with CRT, DEI, gender studies and other socialist nonsense that totally ignores basics like reading, writing, math, science, and civics if prayer were still a mainstay of the school day? If teacher-lead prayer and appropriate disciplinary action is no longer allowed in schools, it is certainly allowed in the home and ought to utilized to the fullest.
This socialist agenda has its hooks in the most vulnerable target—our children! And it is being fueled by the most powerful and corrupt union in America—the Teachers Union! So, this article first focused on election integrity because it is vital that we get that piece of the puzzle healed up so that we can take on the Teachers Union through congressional means or executive order; but first we need to elect the right people to those positions! We need a “political transfusion” to have America go from “critical” to “stable” condition.
And, let’s not forget that education begins at home. Parents have a great deal to consider regarding their children’s education: what’s really being taught in the classroom, is it a safe environment, the level and type of peer pressure, and most importantly are the possible challenges to their children’s faith, values, and even gender. Sadly, our public schools have declined to this level. Yet, we can still do our part. The priority is that the home is the first place from which to learn about God.
“Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Deuteronomy 11:18-19 ~~~~
