We just celebrated The United States of America which is still the
greatest country in the world, despite its many serious problems. We spend a significant amount of money aiding
and rescuing the world’s poor and less fortunate i.e. children who are exploited
for the sex trade. No other country does
that. Many of our Founding Fathers were
God fearing men and have made it abundantly clear:
“Instant to be observed [Friday 17, 1776] as a day of fasting,
humiliation and prayer, humbly to supplicate the mercy of Almighty God, that it
would please him to pardon all our manifold sins and transgression, and to
prosper the Arms of the United Colonies, and finally establish the peace and freedom
of America, upon a solid and lasting foundation.” –George Washington
“We will
win this war because the grand artist will utilize the elements.” –John Witherspoon
“But I must submit all my Hopes and
Fears, to an overruling Providence, in which, unfashionable as the Faith may
be, I firmly believe.” –John Adams
Perhaps that’s the reason government officials don’t talk like that
anymore. We have perverted what the
Founders meant by “separation of church and state.” They did not mean
separation of God and State.
Some say the Lord made a covenant with us and our nation (just as He did
with ancient Israel) and that we must repent in order for Him to bless and
protect us.
D&C 89: 18 And
all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to
the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow
to their bones;
21 And I, the Lord, give
unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by
them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.
Sounds like covenant language to me.
On the lighter side:
Do
they have a 4th of July in England?
Yes. That’s how they get from the 3rd to the 5th.
