Bethany wanted me to post this article that I wrote about a year or so ago:
I like to read Mr. Doug Phillips blog on the Vision Forum website. I have learned much from what I have read there. In the first half of 2007, much of what he was writing was about our nations history and what our nation is now considering our nations history.
It is a sad day when our nation rejects God’s hand as a blessing in our history. When they call the early settlers “invaders”. When they say that Pocahontas was forced to become a Christian and was actually murdered! (That is not all they say about her.) When they call Captain John Smith (a true Christian) a liar. It is sad that all these things are happening, but they are true. When all these happen one begins to ask “why”.
Why are they making up these horrible stories? Why are they trying to rewrite history? I think it is because they want to get rid of the memory of God in in history as much as possible.
They have already done their best to take the LORD’s hand out of the beginning of the earth and our creation. Now they want to take His hand out of our nations history as well. Our country does not want to admit that an omnipotent God exists. If they can rewrite history without Him, they will feel more comfortable. They will not be confronted with what the LORD has done if they erase it from the history books.
Our nation needs prayer. Our world needs prayer. We as Christians must pray for our fellow man and not only must we pray – we must shine. We must be a “light” to “the world.” We must be like the city on the that “cannot be hid.” (Matthew 5:14) We must shine for our King. We must show the world that He does exist. He created our world and us. He does have a hand in history. He created history. History is His Story!
Praise the LORD for what He has done in HIS-story!
To the KING be all the glory!
Amen.
