Stand In The Gap For America

PRESIDENTIAL QUOTE

No man can study the movement of modern civilization from an impartial standpoint and not realize that Christianity and the spread of Christianity are the basis of hope of modern civilization in the growth of popular self-government. The spirit of Christianity is pure democracy. It is equality of man before God—the equality of man before the law, which is, as I understand it, the most God-like manifestation that man has been able to make.
William Howard Taft, in an address to a missionary gathering in 1908

William Howard Taft, one of a long line of believing Christian Presidents, has succinctly stated that the foundational and fundamental belief system for a democracy to work is Christianity -- a belief system based on the Scripture and the Ten Commandments.

It's funny then, if that is true, that the ACLU and others are making every effort to remove from the public consciousness any vestige of the Ten Commandments and to stop every vibration of the Christian voice in society at large. The truth is that when a society no longer embraces the morality and virtue set forth in the Scripture, democracy breaks down, rule of law turns into rule of special interests, corruption invades big business and eventually big business rules the government. A bribe, today, can buy the OK for a dangerous chemical substance to be marketed and used in food, a bribe can buy the OK for dangerous drugs to be sold to the public, a bribe in the form of lobby money and favor can buy the votes of Senators and Representatives. In a nation that is determined to remove every shred of Christianity out of politics and the public square, a moral void develops whose vacuous domain eventually will lead to the downfall of that nation.

We must stand in the gap for America. Relentless efforts are being made to marginalize and ultimately expunge all Christian influence from society. The Fairness Doctrine, which applies only to conservative and Christian programming, if passed would shut down many Christian programs. See previous blogs for details. Hate Crimes legislation is aimed at stopping the Christian voice on gay marriage and homosexuality. It also creates a more than equal group of people and is unconstitutional. That doesn't seem to matter to many Senators and Representatives. They have been brainwashed by lies or bought by lobbyists. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) would force Christian business owners, Christian ministries and Christian Churches to hire homosexuals and lesbians or be sued. We are being inundated by hostile, anti-Christian legislation. We can and we must wake up to the consequences of continued silence and acquiescence.

Fast and Pray
Now is the time for Christians to stand up and fight. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. Satan has a strong hold on our government and on our media. I challenge every Christian who reads this blog entry to fast and pray for America. Pray for our government and our government officials. Ask God for mercy. Ask Him to cleanse us and to heal our land.

Be strong in the Lord!!!
