For what great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our God, is to us whenever we call upon him? Or what great nation has statutes and ordinances that are as just as this whole law which I am setting before you today? - Deuteronomy 4:7-8
It is sad to watch our once-great country slowly abandon the principles on which it was founded, for like it or not, our country with all its laws and statutes was founded on Christian principles and morals. But man-made laws and statutes, without the moral guidance of our Heavenly Father through His Holy Spirit, become nothing more than hollow and onerous burdens which restrict the true freedom which is our right from being children of God. If we abandon our dependence upon God and trust only in our own abilities to govern ourselves, if we ignore the truths taught by our faith and embrace moral relativism, then we risk the fate of the early Israelites - enslavement and loss of happiness. No nation can remain great without the blessing - and the guidance - of God.
