What America was Built on

-


 Today (in the United States), we are celebrating our nation's birthday, July 4th, 1776. On this day, the Declaration of Independence was signed, and our nation was born.


Many historians are baffled by America's success. They wonder, what made America so great? And I will say this to you: American democracy succeeded because it was built upon the principals of government found in the Bible, God's Holy Word.   

Where did we get the idea for 3 branches of government? The Bible. where did we get the drive to protect natural rights, and promote equality for all peoples? The Bible. Where did the idea of government by consent of the governed come from? You guessed it. The Bible. Without God's Word, America never would have existed. I could talk about this forever, but I can't. There is a book and website I would recommend: "The Institute on the Constitution" website,  

 Institute on the Constitution 

And the book I would recommend is put out by MasterBooks: "Civics and the Constitution".

  Firstly, one thing must be said. The King James Only Movement is among the greatest mistakes in the history of the Church.       Christians today are getting harassed, bullied, lectured, and most importantly, divided in the work of Jesus Christ because of the Bible translation they use. Does that make sense to you? It certainly does not make sense to me.   There are many examples I could give where the King James translators mistranslated certain words or phrases, and there is even some slight paraphrasing in some areas. This will be dealt with in greater detail in a future article, but let me give you just one example to show you what I mean. In the book of Romans, the phrase 'God forbid!' appears many times throughout the text. But what many people don’t know is that that phrase does not appear in the original Greek. Seriously, the word 'God', and the word 'Forbid' are not there. A literal translation would be 'may it not be so!' The Translators para

The Scroll Saga: the greatest Christian book series you have probably never heard of

       I first got acquainted with the Scroll Saga when it was recommended to me by a friend. I was skeptical at first, but once I got through the first few chapters, I couldn't put it down. After I finished book 1, I was so desperate to read the next book in the series that I purchased it immediately. And... It was even better than the first one! (That's saying something). The third book in the Scroll Saga is geared more towards young ladies, but it is still valuable and entertaining.      This series is SPECTACULAR. It has the perfect mix of drama, humor, and sometimes  startling truth. It really makes you think about the world, the Church, and the Christian life differently. The author, through clever allegorical scenes, displays societal problems that we often miss.      The Castle represents the modern  Church. The Oasis is the true Church that is aligned with God's will. The Scroll is the Bible. Dragons are sin. And warriors who fight them are Christians fighting the
