The curse of comfortable Christians
July 2 marks the 233rd anniversary of our legal separation from Great Britain. It was on this day in 1776, that the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence.
The next day, John Adams, the man who would become our second president, wrote to his wife Abigail:
I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore.
As it turned out, Adams' timing was off by a couple of days. July 4, the day the formal document was approved, became the nation's official birthday, but the die was cast on the day our Founding Fathers, "with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence," mutually pledged to each other their "Lives, Fortunes and sacred Honor" to establish and defend the United States of America.
Are you and your church being decieved? Take defensive action – read "Seduction of the Saints: Staying Pure in a World of Deception"
Adams proudly put his name on that document. He was a Christian, as were the overwhelming majority of the signers of Declaration of Independence, and for some 200 years, the laws of our nation were a reflection of the moral laws God set forth in the Bible. As a result, the hand of Providence remained over this country, allowing us to become the most affluent, influential and powerful nation on earth.
