I have been writing this blog for almost two
years and I will continue to write it with the singular goal of “Restoring” the
republic to its original purpose. The history of America’s founding has been
rewritten and is, to most people, lost, or more accurately stated was stolen. It
is therefore my goal to help those who read my posts to not only understand
Americas purpose but to help provide the tools necessary to take back what has
been stolen through Progressivism by men whose loyalty to the document’s they
swore an oath to protect has been replaced by greed and a thirst for power.
I do not believe America can be brought back
to her purpose without the restoration of her foundation. Unless people who
understand, respect and honor her history are governing the republic tyranny
will be the result. America was founded by men who had vision and who were
willing to sacrifice all for what they believed in. To follow in their
footsteps we must understand what they believed in and what their vision of
America was.
The following is a Quote by Patrick Henry that
states the beliefs of our founders and the wisdom they had for the governing of
America. It should be stated that this is just one of hundreds of quotes from
our founders that clearly and emphatically establishes the fact that they were
believers in the God of Christianity and that only with the liberty birthed in
man from the heart of God can America fulfill her destiny and facilitate the
spread of the gospel which will produce liberty for all men.
Patrick Henry; "It cannot be emphasized
too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by
religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus
Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum,
prosperity, and freedom of worship here." via ‘The Trumpet Voice of
Freedom: Patrick Henry of Virginia, p. iii.’
Patrick Henry, and every other founder, held
fast to the truths that were it not for men whose intentions were to establish
a nation where God is honored and where men with faith in God governed America
would become a tyrannical state.
Because the founders had studied fervently the
history of the worlds’ governments they understood that if governing was left
to people without the knowledge that liberty is a principle originating with
God and intended for all men, liberty would be rationed only to the elite. It
was for that reason those men wrote the documents we should hold near and dear
to our hearts, second only to the book they studied most fervently; the Bible.
Anyone who studies the origin and founding of
this republic from the writings of the founders themselves can come to no other
conclusion than that America was established on Biblical principles and the
gospel of Jesus Christ and that her purpose is first and foremost protecting
the liberty that will allow for the spreading of that gospel and secure the
liberty of all men.
The gospel cannot be legislated I and do not
presume that it is the governments’ responsibility to have any part in
promoting it. The responsibility of government is to protect the freedom and
liberty of all people to practice and promote freely the faith they hold.
The Apostle Paul wrote, under the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, that ‘where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty’, our
founders recognized the truth of that statement and established our founding
documents accordingly.
Statements such as “We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
creator…” acknowledge their belief in God, yet also that there are differing
beliefs in His identity and involvement with the affairs of man. With that
acknowledgement they set forth to establish a nation where all men are guaranteed
the right to practice their faith and pursue their destiny without government
intrusion. It is that foundational principle that we must fight to protect and
preserve.
This republic was established and maintained with
the sacrifice of blood and treasure for more than 200 years and until recently
has been a beacon of light to the rest of the world. There has been a persistent
whittling away at our foundation by those who seek to control the freedoms guaranteed
us in our founding documents. The assault against liberty has been slow and
methodical but has increased in recent years because of citizen’s trust in the
men they have elected to ‘serve’.
Our founders set up a system of checks and
balances in government because they understood, by their study of history and
the scripture, that the heart of man is inherently evil in nature. They knew
that, if left alone, men with power would thirst for more and use deceitful
measures to acquire it. That truth could not be more evident than it is in the
current political structure in Washington. If left unchallenged the liberty we
have left will be eroded and that which has been surrendered to compromise will
be impossible to regain.
If the grand experiment to self-govern the
melting pot of cultures and ideas is to survive there must be a resurgence of
patriotism and the un-educating of the citizenry and the teaching of truth from
original sources.
Because
I am a Christian I believe the only hope for the restoration of America is for
Christians to call on our God to intervene on her behalf and, like our founders,
recognize that there are patriots with different beliefs whose liberty is
equally sacred. It is equally important for those who do not hold to a belief
in God to recognize that, as Patrick Henry said, this nation was founded by
Christians and for that reason they have been allowed to live as free men. If
the principles those men established are allowed to be removed and replaced the
freedom guaranteed by them will no longer be enjoyed by all, but will be
replaced by an elite and tyrannical ruling class.
I end this message with a challenge to my
fellow Americans, believers in God and those who are not, learn your history,
defend your faith or lack thereof and determine to work together for the
liberty of all. Confront tyranny wherever it is found, even in the smallest
degree and no longer put your trust in men who have the power to legislate your
God given inalienable rights away.
I leave this final charge to those who are
called by the name of God; know your God, call on Him daily to act on behalf of
America, know your enemy and do not fear what he can do but instead speak the
word of God with boldness and faith. Know this; He who began a good work will
be faithful to complete it. I will in the very near future give what I believe
is the founder’s vision of all people as described in the Declaration of
Independence.
