This post is from our pastor, Eld. John Osburn. Good to have you on Bro. John
We must keep in mind
that all world governments have their roots at The Tower of Babel
(Gen 11). All Gentile governments came from this first ungodly
government that was at the building of The Tower of Babel; and now,
as we’re quickly becoming a “one world system”, all the Gentile
governments are returning to their original roots! America is
quickly becoming a Humanist, Socialist, Immoral, and Bible Rejecting
Nation! Even though America was founded upon Biblical principals,
our society has become much like what was at The Tower of Babel -
Godless! Israel is the only other nation besides America that was
founded differently than all the other nations and their governments.
Why was this country
formed? For religious freedom! That is why you never hear in our
public schools since the 1930’s, America’s true history being
taught. The pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts,
came there to have the freedom to worship God according to the
dictates of their hearts and consciences. The Mayflower Compact,
which was the first written document here in America that came from
the people, starts out with these words: “In the name of God,
Amen.”, shows forth immediately why these pilgrims left Europe to
come here - to worship Jesus Christ in freedom! The beginning of the
second paragraph of The Mayflower Compact reads: “Having
undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian
faith,..”.
This Mayflower
Compact which was signed by 41 men on November 11th,
1620, while on The Mayflower ship being anchored off the shore of
Provincetown Harbor, Mass. It was created to form a legal binding of
those who were on that ship to live in a society of law and order.
The Mayflower Compact was only as good as the people’s intentions
were in following it. Had the majority of people began to have no
respect for it, and wanted to do as they pleased, that society would
not have lasted one year! It was the people’s
hearts that were willing to place themselves under this binding, this
contract if you will, that made it work.
The second paragraph
of “The Declaration of Independence” says: “We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness”. Did you read anything that
even suggests what you and I are witnessing with our government today
as to how they’re wanting to control every aspect of our lives?
Listen to what comes right after the first part of this paragraph:
“That to secure these rights, Governments
are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed,…”. Our government was
started by our Founding Fathers to be a help to the American people
while they pursue their desires and happiness through their efforts
and hard work; it’s not supposed to be replacing God by providing
for us from the cradle to the grave!
Why are we here in
America losing our God given freedoms that are written in our
Constitution? Because we have removed God from almost every aspect
of our public sector. John 8:32 says: “And
ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John
8:36 says: “If the Son therefore shall make
you free, ye shall be free indeed.” We’ve
lost much of our freedom because the majority of Americans have
turned away from The Bible, and The God of The Bible - Jesus Christ!

A very good article, Bro. John. You would think they would all be for freedom, but they aren't. I shudder to think what would happen if those founding fathers could see what is happening to the great republic they gave us.
