I meet people every day who defend the constitution which represents their personal freedom, but never mention the Bible. These people have placed the value of the constitution above God's Word.
They will fight verbally to defend this piece of paper by the law of the land, while ignoring the principles of God's Word in conversation. In fact when God's Word is mentioned, there is embarrassment, but there is no embarrassment at the mention of the constitution.
Sort of seems to me that what we speak the most about, is what we revere the most. Or am I missing something?
The constitution of this country is not an inspired work of God, it is the concoction of men who wanted to create a moral environment based on Christian principles without promoting any particular religion. They were happy to include Christianity in that grouping of different faiths, but they were not willing to elevate it above all other religions.
Seems odd to me that a government claiming to be based on Christianity, would welcome and even embrace every other faith too.
Notice the wording in our documents...."for the people and by the people." Seems like it should read "for God and by God", if this were truly a Christian nation.
God says there is only one faith that counts, this faith is spoken of in the Bible, faith toward Christ Jesus. IF we were truly a Christian nation we would need no constitution, all we need is the Bible.
IF we place any measure of hope and faith in the constitution of a country then we are robbing God of the faith we should place in Him.
