Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people Whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. (Psalm 33:12) If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3)
I agree with McGee who said: "This is still a good question to ask. Today the authority of the Word of God is being challenged on every hand. As I write, we have the "new morality," which is sin that the Bible has condemned from the very beginning. The problem is, What can the righteous do? I will tell you what they can do. [they can] Listen to the psalmist:"
And here is what the psalmist said:
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. (Psa 11:4-7)
God is going to have the last word. He will decide what "righteous and wicked" are. The popular thing today is to gather the opinions of books and media and entertainment and drunken parties and declare that we have pulled God off His throne. We will be God! We will tell God what to be if He wants people to follow Him. We are doing this individually, socially, educationally and politically.
We are on a political kick of rewriting the U. S. Constitution and inserting the myth of separation of church and state and through this we can put God things in a box and keep His ideas out of public schools and the public arena. Not so fast! I have read the Constitution many times and that doctrine is not in the Constitution. Former Supreme Court Chief Justice: William Rehnquist has said it is not there.
The Constitution is as un-read as the Bible is un-read. There is a separation of government out of churches in the Constitution but there is not one word about separation of churches out of government. It is simply not there. The idea of separation of church and state today as preached by the Supreme Court is to disavow our historical heritage and the basis of morality of the country.
All laws are about morality—without exception. They're about promoting good things and forbidding bad things by somebody's definition and that's the stuff of morality. It is for sure that morality is not pure science or applied science. What is good? What is bad? We're redefining morality that is enforced by government. Almost nothing is known today about the Founding Fathers or the Founding Documents of the United States which is the valid blueprint of all law and order.
But the politicians are only one group of society that is trying to do away with God. You, my friend, are part of the picture. Are you part of the problem or are you part of the solution?
God is not only the God of individuals—He is also the God of nations. The wages of sin is death and that holds true for individuals and holds true for nations. When you have the death of God, you also have the death of the nation. It is as certain as the law of gravity and Einstein's law of relativity. Let's face it! We cannot break the law of gravity nor can we break God's established laws of morality. Breaking God's laws will break us and break our nation. God is patient but His patience will not endure forever. God's people should remember the following ancient and up-to-date message from the Lord:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2Ch 7:14)
