As Christianity goes, so goes government
The following was written by Jedediah Morse in 1799. Morse, a minister, was keenly interested in geography and earned the informal title of the “father of geography” in the United States. His son, Samuel F.B. Morse, invented the telegraph and Morse code. These words may open your hearts as to what is happening to the United States of America:
“To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation, either through unbelief, or the corruption of its doctrines, or the neglect of its institutions; in the same proportion will the people of that nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom, and approximate the miseries of complete despotism.”
“All efforts to destroy the foundations of our holy religion, ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness.”
“Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them.”
These words are my sentiments exactly. May God make straight our path of the United States for His glory. Not a nation above God, but one nation humbled and under God.
