British Prime Minister David Cameron will go down in history as the only known national leader to publicly acknowledge and declare his country as a christian nation. During a speech commemorating the 400th anniversary year of the King James' Bible at the Christ's Church of Christ, Oxford, he is said to have declared, "We are a Christian country". He explained that the Bible has given Britain a set of values and morals which it should actively defended!
I hope the rest of the West, and indeed, the world, can learn something from this. Here we are in America not wanting to hear anything about God or Jesus Christ, having removed prayers from public life! We have forsaken the very God who has so much blessed us as a nation,a superpower to reckon with like none other in human history! Jesus said in John 15:5..."for without me, ye can do nothing!"In Deuteronomy 32:15-22, we read of how Israel forsook God: "But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.And the LORD saw, and spurned, Because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters.And He said: `I will hide My face from them,I will see what their end shall be; For they are a very froward generation,Children in whom is no faithfulness.They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god;They have provoked Me with their vanities; And I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people;
I will provoke them with a vile nation."
In 2 Chronicles 26:16, we also read about King Uzziah who forsook God: "But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.
America must learn from history. Our founding fathers were devoted to God and trusted in Jesus Christ to lead them. The result of that trust is this our superpower nation! Do we now turn away from the hand that made us, claiming we can do without God? Is the moral decadence and evil in Britain that prompted David Cameron to declare Britain a christian nation a few days ago not happening in America? The homicides, the missing persons, the manipulation of others, the moral decline and fast-disappearing values that make for the wholesomeness and respect of a nation? The Scriptures declare it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
I am not ashamed to declare my faith in God through Jesus Christ, by His grace. David Cameron's bold declaration of the faith should serve as a powerful encouragement to Christians all over the world, to stand up for their faith and trust in our GOD!
It must be noted that despite all our technological advances as a first world nation, we have not been able to change the foundational settings of God in Genesis 8: 22: While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, heat and cold; winter and summer; day and night, shall not cease. We have also not been able to change the order of God in Ecclesiastes 3.. a time to be born, and a time to die! We can never be stronger than the God who made us and all these things. We must not allow strangers to dictate our stand on the solid rock-Christ Jesus!
AMERICA MUST RETURN TO HER GOD!
