Were We Ever A Christian Nation

We have been raised to believe we are a Christian nation and that our roots were in Christianity. I believe that we as a nation took some basic Christian principles from the Bible to form our country, but as a people we have not honored God most of the way along. We were more focused on our freedom than we were on Christ himself. We are not now nor ever have been a country that honors God in our lives as a whole. Of course there have always been the remnant as in any country. Those who are faithful but remain the minority. If we had truly been a Christian nation we would have been ruled by a group of elders who seek God everyday. Christ would have been our leader. That will not happen until the millennium. If we had been a Christian nation we would never have had the civil war which was started because of the evil of slavery and greed of many people. We would never have had the "Roaring 20's." We would never have legalized the killing of millions of unborn babies. We would not have passed legislation allowing for the open and free practice of homosexuality. We would never have taken the Ten Commandments out of our schools, or the Bible or prayer out of our centers of learning. We would not have established a public school system, because parents would have been educating their own children. If we were a Christian nation our people as a whole would have gone to their knees the first time God's standards were violated. Pockets of people, the remnant, did pray but most people did not. If we were a Christian nation we would have never taught self esteem to our children, or tolerated and endorsed our young people dressing like sluts and living together out side of marriage. Marriage is becoming rare in our culture. The movies we watch are deplorable and an abomination before God. If we were a Christian nation we would have never softened the laws on divorce and remarriage. We would have executed child molesters and murderers, rapists and drug dealers. God removed the Ten Commandments from our public places because we were not following them anyway. Christian nation....not a lick. Our churches are superficial and un-Biblical and irreverent toward the Lord. They are full of silly trivial preaching, full of marketing techniques, foolish jesting and evil meaningless music. We fail to preach convicting messages that lead people to sorrow over their sin. We are in this condition in our churches because we have failed to pass on to our children the deeper teaching of Christ and the principles of the Holy Word. Shame on us!!! We are under judgement for our pride. God never said that we must be politically free. Our freedom in Christ is in who we become because of Who He is. We can be free and yet in prison for His sake. We need to stop preaching freedom for our country and begin preaching repentance. Our people need to get on their knees and weep for their wickedness. There should be weeping in every congregation, weeping for all we have tolerated, all we have neglected to obey and all that we have endorsed by our silence. God is offended, our nation is in dire trouble. Repentance is what we need, the greater blessing that God could bring is our repentance, not more stuff and more pleasure and more freedom.
