Have You Turned Your Back On God?
June 17, 1963 the United States Supreme Court decided 8-1, in Abington School District v. Schempp, that school-sponsored Bible reading and the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer in public schools in the United States is unconstitutional. Yes, God was expelled from our public schools after 187 years of faithful attendance.
Death-Blow To USA
I believe this decision was the death-blow to the United States of America, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers. Now, sixty-one years later, the rejection of God and His Law makes us almost unrecognizable.
Prayer Allowed
Most of you probably will not believe that Bible reading and prayer was ever allowed in our schools, but it is true. Before this outrageous decision by the godless Supreme Court, prayer and the reading of Scripture was common, and in most areas required.
Bible Reading In School
“Let the children… be carefully instructed in the principles and obligations of the Christian religion. This is the most essential part of education. The great enemy of the salvation of man, in my opinion, never invented a more effectual means of extirpating (removing) Christianity from the world than by persuading mankind that it was improper to read the Bible at schools.” (Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence and Founding Father)
God’s Expulsion Disastrous
Like death by a thousand cuts, God’s removal from our schools, the public square and our society has had a profound negative effect. If you doubt that statement, please take a look at some televisions shows or movies or the music from the 1960’s and compare it to today’s material.
Give Thought To God
In 1963 approximately over 90 percent of the population identified as Christian; today, that number is about 60 percent. Church attendance has fallen and many (most?) people do not seem to be concerned about God at all; this will have eternal consequences.
Roe v. Wade
The 1963 Supreme Court decision paved the way for Roe v. Wade in 1973; if there is no God, who is to say you should not kill babies?
“The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion“. (Mother Teresa)
Mother Teresa had a lot more to say about abortion – go ahead – look up some of her quotes!
Egregious Same-Sex Marriage Decision
To conclude the trifecta of U. S. Supreme Court decisions that have disrespected God and shown utter disobedience for His Law, let us talk about the Obergefell v. Hodges decision of June 26, 2015, which ruled that same-sex marriage cannot be banned in the United States. This was an egregious decision! Marriage, as instituted by God is between one man and one woman. This decision made immoral sexual activity legal.
Mass Shootings, Suicide & Mental Health
In addition to the Supreme Court decisions we have discussed, the expulsion of God from our schools and public squares have also contributed to:
- The increase in Mass Shootings (Prior to 1960 there was one mass shooting and then one more during the sixties. Since the 1963 Supreme Court Decision, mass shootings have increased each subsequent decade.).
- Increase in Suicides.
- Increase in Mental Health issues.
In future posts we will further discuss some of these issues!
The Great Physician
All this makes perfectly good sense. When you have a good and loving relationship with God, you have someone to talk to; to bring your problems to and someone to help you and guide you. God is the Great Physician and He is ALWAYS available to listen to anyone who wants to talk to Him.
The Lord’s help is not limited to the above issues. Being Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent Jesus is always available.
John Adams Quote
“The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.” (John Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence, Second President of the United States and Founding Father)
