John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Today is Veteran’s Day in America. The day we praise God in gratitude for the men and women who have served our Country to protect our Freedom and Liberty. Many Americans are now wondering what has happened to America. Somehow, America is not the same as it used to be. How could this happen? It has happened over time as we have been lax in paying attention.
America was founded by a core group of 55 men known as our Founding Fathers. These men were the delegates to the Constitutional Convention who shaped the political foundation of our country. They were courageous men with deep convictions anchored in the Word of God. They were not all of the same Christian denomination, but they came together in unity to form the greatest nation on earth: The United States of America!
These delegates consisted of 28 Episcopalians, 8 Presbyterians, 7 Congregationalists, 2 Lutherans, 2 Dutch Reformed, 2 Methodists, 2 Roman Catholics, 1 unknown, and 3 deists (those who believe in a supreme being).
93 percent were of the Christian faith and all were deeply influenced by a biblical view of mankind and government. Take the time to research these men and read their personal writings. You will quickly discover their deep faith, convictions, and courage. They were leaders in their churches and communities and most served in various Bible societies and Christian Ministries.
They sought Freedom for themselves, their families, and the generations to follow. They sought Freedom for us; you and me. They cared about those, not yet born. They loved their great-grandchildren they would never hold in their arms. They were willing to fight for the freedom of people they would never know. These people were America's first veterans.
I would venture to say, there are few Americans like this today. We take our freedom for granted. This is a big mistake on our part, because freedom in America is not at all what it used to be. One reason for this change is that we are no longer teaching our children the truth in school. The American History books have been changed and the Bible has been closed. Consequently, we have at least two generations of people who have been indoctrinated.
The Truth must once again be told and taught in America if we are to survive. Do you care about what America will be like when your grandchildren are adults? Do you care whether they will have the freedom to go to church, assemble together and speak freely? If you do, then you must do your part to save America.
Americans have been asleep for a long time. It’s time for us to wake up and wake our neighbors up. It’s time for the Truth to be taught in public schools, talked about in the streets and from the pulpits across America! It takes strength and courage but most of all it takes FAITH! We must have the faith of our forefathers if we want to see America great again. If we care about the future generations in America, we must be awakened NOW.
America needs a Great Awakening in Jesus Christ; the Truth! Jesus said, “You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free.” He is the Truth and the ONLY source of Freedom in the world.
The Truth will…….…..turn the tide
