Land of the Free

Written by Joyce C. Lock


"God Bless America" is a well-known phrase throughoutrepparttar land. The Bible tells us how to receive His blessings. Yet, America is running inrepparttar 132482 opposite direction.

By their example, our forefathers taught how to make America great. Our nation was founded "Under God" forrepparttar 132483 purpose of freedom in worship (a privilege that brings God's blessings every time). Our coins are a reminder of their heart, "In God We Trust" (where God always looks first). The Ten Commandments were their moral guideline (the system set up by God for a better way of life). Men believed so strongly that they fought and died forrepparttar 132484 cause of America and Pilgrims risked their lives to be a part of it.

Yet, today, we see a new breed of ‘would be’ forefathers who; vote their wallet instead of their conscience, dictate what we should believe to justify their lifestyle, lookrepparttar 132485 other way rather than stand for Godly values, wear as many faces as it takes to reach prominent positions, and attend church only for special occasions while having no intentions of worship.
