America was founded on Judeo-Christian
principles, by moral leaders, many of whom were strong Christians themselves.
The first settlers were committed Christians seeking refuge from religious
persecution abroad. In the last hundred years, America has been on a slippery
slope, moving away from its founding principles, and in large part with little
resistance from the Church. Is it
a time for action? If so, is there a simple underlying message? For Christians,
Jesus Christ should be the foundation of the lives they build and they should
be active in making a difference in the world around them. In practical terms,
that means we should strive for a free society that respects each of God’s
children; we should embrace the Judeo-Christian values of love, joy, and peace;
and we should seek a relationship with the living God. It means people of faith
should actively participate in the political process in order to combat the
debilitating and deceptive progressive mantra that there should be a separation
of church and state.
