Faith in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ, has played an integral role in the formation and the continuation of the United States of America. To believe otherwise, is to be ignorant of the historical facts. One small example is our representative form of government. Knowing how evil the human heart can be (Jeremiah 17:9), our forefathers chose to give different responsibilities to three separate branches of government, rather than trusting any one human being or any one group of people with all the power. Isaiah 33:22 reads, "For the Lord is our judge (judicial branch), our lawgiver (legislative branch), and our king (executive branch). He will care for us and save us." Our nation's founders wisely delegated governmental responsibility to many different people with the understanding that all of us are ultimately dependent upon God for being our judge, lawgiver, and king.
That dependence upon God has worked well during times when America truly trusted Him to lead and guide us; whether it was through war, natural disasters, economic collapse, and more. There is currently a war of values and ideas taking place in our country. On the one side are those who believe "God is still involved in human affairs" (Benjamin Franklin), and on the other side are those who do not believe in God, period. Secularists have diligently, methodically, and passionately been trying to remove God from our history books, our government, our courtrooms, our education, and more, with great success. Rather than blaming Christians for the problems plaguing our country, intelligent people recognize our problems are a direct consequence of ridding ourselves of God (John 15:5).
The time has come to bring God back to the CENTER of American life. Join with us as as New Hope Christian Church (3901 South Center in Marshalltown) and 200 other churches host a live simulcast event called, "Rediscover God in America."
