I’ve said many times that our government constantly and consciously tries to distance our nation from
God. The reason is simple, as stated in Proverbs 29:18, “Where there is no vision, the people cast off
restraint.” When a nation, at the least, acknowledges God, the laws and culture reflect His words. If
there is no God, then there is no restraint…no call for moral-centered self-control. Anything goes.
Senator Jerry Nadler declared that God has no place in Congress. That was revealing and disappointing,
but, no, Senator Tim Kaine claimed in a congressional hearing: “The notion that rights don’t come from
laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian
government believes,” he said. “It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Shia (sic) law and targets
Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities. They do it because they believe that
they understand what natural rights are from their Creator. So, the statement that our rights do not
come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.” That is a complete dismantling of our
wonderful Declaration of Independence which says, in part: “We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. –That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
It clearly states that our unalienable rights come from God and that the government exists to protect
those rights. Yet, here is a public government official who says that we should keep God out of our
government, our morals, our laws, and our culture. I’ll tell you what is “extremely troubling” for our
nation…the line of thought from government officials as vocalized by Senator Tim Kaine. How will God
bless a nation that seeks to govern without Him?
Say good things about your church and about your Savior.
