[Faith-talk] We want America Back!

[Greg Aikens]

Putting your hope in any governmental system is foolishness.  The only reason we can lament the loss of governmental support of christian ideals is because we were spoiled by having them for a while.  If you truly want America back and want to make an impact on American culture, legislating morality isn't the way to go.  I'm not saying that Christians shouldn't be active and involved in the political process, but changing laws doesn't change hearts.  I'm sad that the song doesn't even mention the need for personal evangelism, introducing people to Jesus etc.  Those things should be the Church's primary tools for changing the world.  Instead, the song puts out the vibe that God's army is going to take over the government so we can have control, and we don't care who we offend or alienate from Christ in the process.  

Sorry Joshua, but I can't say I'm a fan.  I usually don't weigh in on this stuff but I guess it just struck a chord.
