Are you one of God’s People called by His name or one of the deceived People who follow the secular teachings of men? Remember that America has been an experiment in government since its inception never publicly acknowledging Christ Jesus or sin. Alluding to “God/One Nation Under God” alone is not Biblically accurate. The overwhelming disfunction of present-day America clearly manifests an unmanageable Union because of its pluralistic, multicultural belief of gods. It is only with empty and deceptive words that “We the People” exists in unity (e.g. “United” States of America; “One Nation under God”). All of the ingenuity, money, and laws in place has not brought people closer together because Jesus alone is the glue that holds everything together (Colossians 1:16-17) and apart from Him, America is nothing. What has been learned from history once for all time and where is God/religion in the experiment? At what point must there be resolve to abort the “experiment?”
