: my thoughts are simply, "what else would you expect?" We are told that Christians will face persectution. And we are told that as we approach the last days things will get worse. So why do Christians constantly lament the fact that this so-called Christian nation isn't anymore? The truth of the matter was that it never was really. It was merely the political fashion of the day to acknowledge some religiosity when the nation was formed. Just like every president claims some religious affiliation regardless of how they live or what they practice.
.yes, this is very true. it never really was from the beginning...unfortunately, we don't have a history to be all that proud of. however, for those of us who are christians, it remains extremely important to ask him constantly to give us wisdom and strength to live our lives by example daily. this is ONLY accomplished through him, and NEVER through the flesh!!
