Why is our country in trouble? # 4
September 14, 2022
When I was in public grade school, each student was given a small New Testament including Psalms and Proverbs. Gideons International provided them. Inside the cover was this verse. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” Above that verse was our countries flag.
Our country has changed. Removing indications of faith, the 10 commandments, nativity scenes, and more shows the changing heart of our country. Courts now must defend persons who have been denied the right to personally pray in public.
That verse in another translation states that sin is a disgrace. Our flag at that time was a symbol representing many God honoring truths. To the extent that we deny God as first and foremost in our policies, positions, and principles, our country will experience disgrace. Perhaps not to other countries. But with the only person that matters. God himself.
