Benjamin Franklin, Signer of the Declaration of Independence
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
This is an amazing quote and absolutely true. Without Christ as the standard for operations of a government, it is doomed to become evil and corrupt.
Since Christ has become an embarrassing Name these days, even among those who claim to be Christian, it is a short time before we are overrun with evil as the standard and wicked people as our leaders.
For those of you who think we can "take back America", you must be living in a fantasy land. I look around me and everywhere I look I see most people whose face turns a shade of red when the name of Christ is mentioned or anyone in the room is corrected for their erroneous beliefs based on humanism.
I don't know about you, but I no longer care even in the slightest if anyone likes me anymore. If we tell the truth, standing by it without wavering, we WILL be mocked, maligned and demeaned much of the time. So let it be, we either stand with God or we stand with the world, we cannot do both.
John 15:18-20 "18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. 20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.…"
