America Needs The Truth!

Now I would like to argue that point, because I just told you about our founding fathers. And I don't have to judge them by what historians say about them. I can look at 1 John 3:7, and it says, "He who works righteousness is righteous". And I can tell you that when these men got together and they wrote the Declaration of Independence, and they wrote our constitution, you can see the sacred foundation of those documents, and they're righteous things. The freedom of speech, the right to assemble, the freedom of religion, the opportunity that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator to live life in the pursuit of happiness. These are God themes interwoven in our foundation. And the only reason that we don't know them is not because they're not there: it's because we ignore them. We throw them out the window the second we feel like we've got a new problem to solve.

Oh, the founding fathers knew nothing about COVID. No, they knew all kinds of sicknesses that we don't even want to deal with today. So there arose a Pharaoh who knew not Joseph. How? The previous Pharaoh had made him a prime minister. The previous Pharaoh had built pyramids enshrining the contribution that Joseph had made in Egypt. The previous Pharaoh built silos to store the grain for seven years. Did those silos get torn down? Did the pyramid go away? Did the history books change? Did the school that this Pharaoh was raised in read something different than the way history really was? No! The reality is this Pharaoh chose to ignore the truth. He knew how Egypt got where Egypt was. He knew who was responsible for making them great. He knew why they were the most prosperous nation in the world. And he said, "I know better than that." And in choosing to ignore history, he made a fatal mistake. He imprisoned the people that God said in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you".

As long as Egypt blessed the lineage of Abraham, Egypt was blessed. The second that they began cursing the lineage of Abraham, they began to decline, and they've never returned: the bloated corpse of Pharaoh in the Red Sea is testament that God keeps his word to a thousand generations. So, what do we do in this nation? It's time that we stopped ignoring the truth. It's time that we quit pretending we don't know what to do. It's time that we went back to what the Word of God says. John 17:17, "Thy word is truth". It is this truth that makes us one nation under God. It is this truth that brings every blessing that we possess. It is this truth that has anchored our society and our nation. It is this truth that our past leaders have used to call upon the Lord in hours of trial.

When we were in the days of the civil war, and Abraham Lincoln called for a National Day of Prayer, he asked for those who believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give themselves to a day of fasting and prayer. Who was it that Franklin Delano Roosevelt prayed to on June 7th after D-day when thousands of our soldiers were being buried in the sands of a French seashore? He didn't get on the radio for seven and a half minutes and lead a prayer to a higher power. He didn't call upon the man upstairs. He started a national radio address, without apology, by saying, "Almighty God". When we, as a people, turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: when we turn back to the God of the Bible: when we turn back to the God who says, "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you," then we will see God do great things in this nation again! How do we do it?
