Apparently, churches across the nation are being asked to re-dedicate America to God in a national covenant prayer on July 3 as an affirmation of God’s sovereignty over the U.S and to remind us of the founding fathers.
The prayer being distributed is:
Father,
As Your Christian nation, we affirm our covenant: You, the LORD, are the God of the USA and we are Your people. Jesus is our King. We obey what You say in the Holy Bible. We love You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We love one another as Jesus loved us. We ask You to forgive our sins by Jesus’ sacrifice.
In Jesus’ name. Amen. (Psalm 33:12, Mark 12:30, John 13:34, 2 Chronicles 15:12)
There are quite a few problems with this prayer, the primary one being that it simply is not true.
And which founding fathers are we to be reminded of? Thomas Jefferson, who called the gospels defective and portions of Scripture a dunghill, then cut up the Bible to remove all evidence of divinity? Or John Adams, who in the Treaty of Tripoli declared that America was not founded on the Christian religion?
You see, God doesn’t have a covenant with America. He has a covenant with Christ and those in Him, the Church. America is not a Christian nation, and the only hope for anyone living here, as elsewhere, is to repent and believe the Gospel of the Lord Jesus for salvation.
This latest stunt by idolatrous worshippers of patriotic America is little more than a national red, white and blue altar call.
“Yes, America, I see that hand……anyone else?….”
Very well said Joel!
Uh oh, you just smote the image of Uncle Sam in his crown. Wait for his servants to unload their fury on you in 5…4…3…2…
>>We obey what You say in the Holy Bible. We love You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We love one another as Jesus loved us.<<
…So, as You can see, Lord, we keep all the Law perfectly and are without sin. Please forgive the sins of the tiny minority of unbelievers here in the US of Christotopian A, even if you never get around to convincing them to make a decision for You, Lord; after all, we know that with You, all things are possible, and love wins. It would also be really sweet if You would forgive the apostates, namely, those who don't support the State of Israel; however, all we ask is that You don't destroy our otherwise kosher Nation for their sin, nor rain fire on them while we're around. Glad we had this talk, Amen.
Do I detect sarcasm?
From moi?!?
I am sad to say that America cannot say to the LORD that he is our God when we have effectiviely thrown Christ out of every area of government, our schools and universities and even our churches! I never dreamed I would live in a time when the precious name of Jesus would be mocked as Christianity is labeled intolerant!
Christ was never in our government to be thrown out of in the first place. (Did you know that the Statue of Liberty is an image of the Roman goddess Libertas?)
Joel, even without the evidence that you correctly point out from the past, presently we have this:
Abortion
What have true believers been doing, individually, for their whole lives?
Have they been standing for morality? Or giving into the cultures downward spiral?
Abortion souldn’t even be an issue today.
But it is because it’s the fruit of our spiritually dead culture.
If every confessing Christian was a true believer back int he early ’70s then there SHOULD have been a ground swell of protests from every believer on the very DAY of the passing of the law to legalize the murder of babies in our ‘Christian’ land.
But there wasn’t.
That alone is all I need to know that we are not a Christian nation.
The fruit is simply not there.
In spite of our country having the most compassionate hearts and giving to causes of every kind. Including to the causes of third world countries in the form of missionary aid, medical aid, food aid.
These works are of no value without a personal saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
This is not a Christian nation. We are a humanitarian nation.
But good works will not save.
Abortion is the big clue that we are living in an immoral spiritually dead culture.
As giving as many in our country are, the fact is that our country is still in danger of God’s wrath for not actively protecting the unborn.
see Proverbs 24:11-12
i urge everyone to watch this 3 hr video on “The Hidden Faith of Our Founding Fathers”. It tells the truth about the “Founders” and that they were not Christians
