Is being a Christian and adhering to God a bad thing?
Apparently in our modern culture it is. Our children are growing up in a nation that has a growing disdain for Christianity—and parents need to wake up and realize how bad the situation truly is.
Consider a recent Politico report written by Alexander Ward and Heidi Przybyla who were using fear-mongering tactics about what would happen if the wrong person gets elected. They asserted that a conservative president would implement “Christian nationalism” ideas in this country.
Ward and Przybyla falsely claim this president would increase surveillance at abortion clinics and make abortion pills unavailable. They worry that Christians will want to apply natural marriage laws and abolish same-sex marriage. When asked about it on a weekend MSNBC talk show, Heidi Przybyla responded:
“The one thing that unites them as Christian nationalists — not Christians by the way, because Christian nationalists are very different — is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority; they don’t come from Congress; they don’t come from the Supreme Court — they come from God.”
So apparently anyone who believe our rights come from God is a “Christian nationalist.” This being a reporter who apparently has not read the Declaration of Independence that clearly says, ”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.” In a separate tweet, Przybyla insisted that Christians who support pro-life policies are Christian nationalists.
This lunacy comes on the heels of the recent results released from the Family Research Council which showed attacks against churches doubled in 2023. Kristine Parks observed, “there were 436 hostile incidents against churches in 2023. This is more than double the number tracked in 2022 and more than eight times as many as the group found in 2018.” Americans are getting more and more comfortable persecuting Christians and vandalizing church buildings.
This is exactly what one would expect when God is removed from the classroom and replaced by transgenderism and sexual diversity.
Immorality runs amuck, while at the same time these activists work hard to extinguish the light and goodness from God. Our nation is about to experience a history lesson—one that other nations have experienced. Because God’s longsuffering goes only so far with nations that turn their back on Him.
I would encourage Heidi Przybyla and many others to invest some time in a real civics lesson regarding this country. Allow me to share a small sample of actual quotes from the Founding Fathers of this country:
John Jay: President of Continental Congress 1778-1779
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
John Jay would later become the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and was quoted as saying, “Only one adequate plan has ever appeared in the world, and that is the Christian dispensation.”
Ben Franklin
“God governs in the affairs of man.” Constitutional Convention, Thursday, June 28, 1787
John Adams and John Hancock
“We recognize no Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!” April 18, 1775, on the eve of the Revolutionary War after a British major ordered them to disperse in “the name of George the Sovereign King of England.”
George Washington
“You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ …. Congress will do everything they can to assist you in this wise intention.”
Noah Webster
“The Christian religion, in its purity, is the basis, or rather the source of all genuine freedom in government . . . . and I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable in which the principles of that religion have not a controlling influence.”
