It is the hearts of men that determine the course of a nation, not it's idols or it's history. If all our history were wiped away, we are still going to have left in this nation the heart of the people.
If the condition of the heart of man were dependent on physical icons, then we are in a very sad state indeed.
Each individual must determine in their own heart to follow Christ or not to follow Christ, this determines the path of any nation.
If we have placed our trust in the displays of artifacts, we are lost. When our faith is in Christ we have no need of counterfeit strength, plaster saints or cement figurines. Nor should we place our trust in any man to deliver us.
Psalm 146:3 "…2 I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3 Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.…"
Psalm 20:7
"7 Some boast in chariots and some in horses,
But we will boast in the name of the Lord, our God."
