God Expelled

I have long thought the United States Supreme Court ruling in Abington School District v. Schempp, on June 17, 1963, in an 8-1 ruling, has had a catastrophic effect on our country. The godless Supreme Court ruled 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.

Founding Fathers Appalled

While I have not spoken to them, I am sure our Founding Fathers would be appalled to learn of this 1963 decision by the Supreme Court.

Benjamin Rush – Founding Father

“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).

Mental Health Issues

In my opinion this decision has led to a dramatic increase in mass shootings, abortions, suicides, sexual irregularities, drug and alcohol abuse, lying, mental health issues and a just as dramatic, a decrease in plain old civility. Of course, I cannot scientifically prove this nor can anyone prove me wrong.

Psalm 1:1-3

“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.”

We Have Rejected God – Post dated 2-8-2024

You are welcome to search the archives of the Blog page on the MeetTheTruth.net website; look for a May 8, 2024 post entitled: We Have Rejected God. I suspect we will be talking more about the 1963 Supreme Court decision in the future.

CDC Promotes Meditation In Schools

Recently, The Washington Stand published an article dated August 6, 2024 about the Center for Disease Control (CDC) promoting meditation in public schools to enhance ‘Equity.’

Reduce Stress And Improve Focus

The word ‘meditation’ probably brings to mind relaxing, reducing stress and improving focus; what evil could possibly be associated with these goals? 

Psalm 49:1-4

“Hear this, all peoples;  Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, Both low and high, Rich and poor together. My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding. I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will disclose my dark saying on the harp.”

Stand Strong For Jesus

Anything that moves you away from God or Jesus is harmful. Prior to 1963, when prayer was allowed in our public schools, children learned there is a God, He Loves You and He is available to listen to you. I can recall times as a child informally turning to God for advice; for His counsel. Towards the end of high school, I remember going through a phase of looking for the ‘One Mind,’ a secular attempt to reach the ‘Universal Mind.’ It took only a few sessions of this meditation technique to figure out I was being foolish and what I was actually finding was God, by a different name.

God Has Expectations Of Us

You see, we, each human being who has ever lived on planet earth, have been created by God. He has expectations of us; He expects each of us to love God and each other. He expects us to obey Him. As aids to obeying God, each of us are created with a soul, which includes a yearning for God; sometimes called a ‘God-Hole, and a conscience.’ Biblically, this soul and conscience is referred to as our ‘heart.’ He supplied us with this ‘heart’ to aid us in knowing right from wrong; to help us in being obedient to our Creator.

One True God

In 1963, we, as a society, turned our backs on God. We rejected Him and taught  generations of children there is no God and at the very least there is not one true God – one Supreme Being to which we will be held accountable! But that is a lie. The God of the Bible is the One True God; this is an Absolute Truth you can count on.

John Adams, 2nd President & Founding Father

“It is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue.” (John Adams, Second President of the United States; Founding Father)

Sin Starts In The Heart

All those sins I listed in the second paragraph (mass shootings, suicides, etc.) start in the heart, transition to the mind and without a healthy conscience or knowledge of God, nor His Son, Jesus Christ, people are left to themselves to determine right from wrong. All sin starts in the heart; If people are not taught about God, about His Omniscience, Omnipresence and Omnipotence they will not be prepared to turn to God when crisis comes. If we teach people there is no God, we should not be surprised when they act as if there is not God.

Luke 21:14-15

“Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer;  for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist”.

Love And Serve God

Our purpose here on earth is to love and serve God; we do this by accepting His Son, Jesus Christ, as our Lord and personal Savior. Meditating on God’s Word can lead to peace, joy and contentment; It is the only way to achieve lasting, true Peace, Joy and Contentment.

Pray to God And Jesus Christ

Please teach your children and grand-children to believe and to pray to God and His Son Jesus Christ; in fact, give it a try yourself, you might be surprised with the results.
