Life From Death

This article from the American Renewal Project News is well worth the read for any thinking person. It was sent to me as an email and I was asked to forward it so feel at liberty to include it on my blog in its entirety. Our Country is at risk and we need to wake up and take the individual responsibility of rescuing Her.

God specializes in causing lifeless things to come alive, to resurrect. Aaron's rod matured through the production cycle: sprouted, budded, blossomed and produced almonds.* America is clearly positioned for a resurrection moment, the Living God is looking for a man or woman who will stand. "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him."** War is generally understood as an actual, intentional, widespread armed conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of political violence. Spiritually the Apostle Paul analyzed, "This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world."***  Having removed prayer and the Bible from public schools in 1963, it's becoming increasingly difficult to make the case to a biblically illiterate polity of the growing threat to the nation. Secularism -- a religion, a carcinogenic -- established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963 has failed disastrously. Since the calamitous 8-1 majority ruling, i.e.,"...if portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could be, and had been, psychologically harmful to the child." Christianity has retreated from the public square with the false god of Secularism filling the void. Let's be clear, the secularists worship an ideology, a belief system -- a religion -- that requires a secular liturgy that demands and devours the whole man. What emerged in America from the U.S. Supreme Court's horrifying decision in 1963 was not religious neutrality -- with respect to religion -- but a ruling that established and embedded a false religion in the State that is anti-Christ. The false god -- Secularism -- promotes faith in reason and science, a sort of heretical individualism, a secular sacrament of "Looking out for Number 1" instead of Biblical knowledge and wisdom that asserts that a nation "is established by righteousness".**** Secularism's pastors and evangelists -- public education, higher learning, Hollywood and the Media elite -- must be confronted. For freedom requires virtue and God declares that the glory of a nation lies in its righteousness. It was Christians that established America by emphasizing Christian wisdom, thought, and Christian education, which in turn produced a Christian culture, the by-product being American Exceptionalism. Simply consider Early Americans vision for America, particularly Robert Hunt and the English settlers landing at Jamestown in 1607, "We do hereby Dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains..." Thirteen years later -- The Mayflower Compact, 1620 -- ''Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith..." The revolution spawned by the secular U.S. Supreme Court in 1963 drove wedges through a Christian nation that endure to this day. This revolution involved the repudiation of America's Christian heritage as: "...racist, sexist, imperialist, and genocidal in its treatment of women, Indians, Africans, and all peoples of color. This revolution involved the rejection and overthrow of traditional Christian morality and Christianity itself as bigoted and repressive, and the conversion of the young to a sensuality, self-indulgence, and promiscuity condemned by all Christian faiths. This revolution involved the overturning of all laws rooted in Christian doctrine regarding divorce, homosexuality, abortion and the purge of all Christian symbols, books, and practices from public schools. This revolution was about de-Christianizing and secularizing America."****** What has happened to America is not amazing, Nero attempted to overthrow His rule, "But the One who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them." *******    Thomas Adams observed --  "The prose Shakespeare of Puritan theologians" -- "He permitted His temple to be sacked and rifled, the holy vessels to be profaned and caroused in; but did not God's smile make Belshazzer to tremble at the handwriting on the wall? Oh, what are his frowns, if His smiles be so terrible?" Will a Gideon or Rahab the Harlot to please stand.
