[Faith-talk] We want America Back!

[Barbara Hammel]

And while I agree with Greg here, I think what we really need are religious 
values to be taught by all and not the social gospel--aw what do they call 
this new religion?--where naything goes.
While God wishes that none should perish and that we all should believe in 
Him, I think where agreed values are in common, they should be what this 
society is built on.
I don't wish to see Sharia law take over this country but I also think all 
religions should stand together for the sanctity of life and marriage of a 
man and a woman and all the other things like no killing or stealing or 
cheating on your spouse.
Yes, we should be a God-fearing nation again but if that cannot be, at least 
we could live by the principles of social Christianity.
Barbara

any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose 
any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.--John

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.
