I listened to parts of a congressional hearing and was disturbed by what I heard concerning the place of
God in our national laws. A liberal senator said that if we view our rights as coming from God, it would
be the same as the Muslims establishing Sharia law in a nation…even our nation.
I was amazed that a sitting senator did not know the difference in laws based on Christian principles and
Sharia law. In our very constitution we are told that our rights come from God, not government. But
look at the government that was built on Godly principles: Freedom, individuality, love, harmony,
generosity, and peace. Christianity doesn’t force their religion on anyone; it must be a free will decision
by each individual. And…there are no legal or societal repercussions for not being a Christian.
Our nation believed that God would honor our worship, provide for our protection from hostile peoples,
and bless us with wisdom and fortitude. If…if…we tried to live by His Word. Keep in mind that Jesus
didn’t call for wars or force to increase His church. Always, it was the gentle call to accept Him as Savior.
Sharia law, however, does call for violence and war against non-Muslims. It subjugates women and
children as it puts them on a lower level than men and gives them no rights or recourse. If the honorable
Senator compares a Christian nation with a Muslim nation, he is either lying or ignorant.
Say good things about your Savior and His church
