Before I had observed that first evening of the 2008 Democratic National Convention – the “DNC” – I heard their motto: “One Nation.”
That’s it, I thought with great concern. Now that’s scary – “One Nation” – not to mention it’s incomplete according to the vision of our Founding Fathers, who established our nation upon their faith and biblical standards. No matter what some may think, or what those revisionists are trying to do to our history, America was founded upon Christian principles. It’s a matter of fact and faith indeed that the whole world was founded upon the Word of God. It was He who brought it all into being in the first place by His spoken command, and it is He who will bring it all to an end in His time.
Yet, America has fallen, and continues falling, far from those standards set by our Fathers, fallen away from those biblical principles established long before the beginning of time. Apart from those standards set forth in the Bible, man’s deeds, thoughts, and words, are prone to be indecent, immoral, and evil. We need to return to those standards – the faith of our Founders. To be simply “One Nation” is a focus merely on humanity. It cannot be denied; there is a spiritual dimension to life, not merely the physical. Our focus therefore needs to be upon God – the Lord Jesus Christ. In Him alone is our hope, for all time and eternity. He is our Provider, and in Him only is our complete satisfaction and joy. Under God, then, and only then, we can truly be “one nation.”
