I would like to say yes–although with “Pride [Shame] Month” only just over, it might get me hassled by Herod’s Men.
But before we completely surrender our heritage to those who would erase it, let’s consider this verse of one of our patriotic anthems, My Country, ‘Tis of Thee:
“Our fathers’ God, to Thee, Author of Liberty, to Thee we sing!
Long may our land be bright, with freedom’s holy light:
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our king!”
Does that sound like a passel of atheists to you?
Our country needs our prayers!
The US, and ancient Israel, have in common, the fact that they were founded by worshippers of the One True God, and were to be places where worship of that One God would be permitted, without interference. So far, we have retained the majority of those rights, and I thank God for that, but I pray for this nation every day.
I would say we are still a Christian nation but no longer a Christian culture. God has been banned from public life, especially the second Person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ. Everything is in place to once again to be a Christian culture if we have a Great Awakening with revival and reformation taking place in every area of life. This is something God must do, and it will be in response to the prayers of His people who put their trust in Him, 2Chronicles 7:14.
I wonder why you didn’t play that hymn? Oversight perhaps or maybe you were saving it for the fourth. No matter, I would like to request it. If you played it everyday this week, it would be alright with me.
I was saving it for Tuesday.
