Religion is the tipping point in America. Many people espouse a no belief policy. Some pick-up on the latest religeo concept of out outsmarting our creator. After all it's so smart when chiding the existence of God, or smartly speaking about the Big Bang Theory in quantitative terms. Its all so simple to freely choose something other than what the pilgrims thought. It is also easy to forget or ignore why they came to this land. It is more popular to think freedom of Religion means you can believe the proverbial "whatever". After-all that's what this nation is about. The freedom to believe in whatever. However, you are in this religion class at UWTP. Even if you don't believe in any supreme creator that is Okay, just keep it on the down low until after the finals are graded.
America was founded by believers, or pilgrims who believed in God. The people in that time of history, just knew if they didn't escape religious persecution they would perish by staying in Europe. They put this young country into an experiment. The pilgrims knew if they were going to survive they must put their "Trust in God" or "In God We Trust". Sounds reasonable lets put it on the currency. Nations come and go. Cultures die and failure is the norm for budding nations. In this case a nation building miracle happened, as most or all settlers believed in the freedom to worship the creator of the Universe without royal decree making only one church acceptable. As was the case of a one church policy in Europe. The whatever you believe was the norm of the day with the colonies. Clear from Boston to Florida was a unified belief in God. The colonies where also on God's mind, as it was foretold in Revelations several thousand years ago by John the Revelator.
I hope I haven't lost anybody yet, because I mentioned Revelation in the same context of nation building on the North American Continent. This is important for you to know in spite of any bias towards religion you may carry. There will be a homework assignment at the end of this blog. No test but taking notes will be worthy for your own edification of understanding America and the Bible. God is watching us and already knows the outcome.
I am Taking a leap of faith that you remain reading, I will continue plowing a course under his skin (of Dr. Carson), and discovering what makes Dr. Carson so special. What is presented in the "Homework session' is an hour long presentation on Bible Prophecy specifically with the USA. It fits like a key in a lock, that it opens a vast understanding so clearly, as to where we are in history. Importantly, where we are going into the future. God partnered with this country from the beginning (1776), and he will see us through to the end. Hang on everybody, this journey is about to begin. It's time to do your second homework assignment if you choose to watch, you won't be disappointed.The lesson may go against everything you ever experienced, and may change your life away from all the foolishness you have encounter to date. You may want to invite your friends to do this assignment with you!
