Ep. 80: Restoring Morality and Faith: America's Challenge

How The Bible Reveals and Protects Our Constitutional Rights

Summary:

In this episode, we confront the changing landscape of America and the challenges it faces in preserving its moral and religious values. The episode begins by quoting John Adams, who emphasized that the Constitution was designed for a moral and religious people, indicating its inadequacy for any other form of governance. Benjamin Franklin's words are also invoked, emphasizing that only virtuous people can truly appreciate and safeguard freedom.

While the host expresses love for America, concerns are voiced regarding the nation's moral decay, increasing corruption in government, and the influence of political correctness on societal conversations. The discussion touches upon the development of laws that sometimes conflict with God's laws, prompting the host to call upon the church in America to fulfill its duty to God by doing what is right, regardless of potential backlash.

The episode draws upon Deuteronomy 28:1-14 to highlight the blessings that come from obedience to God. It specifically mentions a promise in verse seven, where the Lord ensures the defeat of enemies who rise against the faithful. The contrast is stark when Deuteronomy 28:15-68 is explored, detailing the chilling curses resulting from disobedience. These curses include wasting disease, military defeat, and prolonged disasters.

Drawing parallels between America's current state and the historical punishment of Israel and Judah, the host underscores the consequences of moral decay and disobedience. Jeremiah 2:13 is referenced to illustrate how forsaking God leads to spiritual drought and the creation of broken cisterns.

Listeners are encouraged to take up the challenge of introspection, including confessing sins, repentance, living a pure life, daily engagement with God's word, and an active prayer life. The importance of fellowship within a grounded Bible-teaching church is also stressed.

Ephesians 6:10-20 is cited as a source of guidance, urging individuals to put on the full armor of God to withstand the devil's schemes. The episode underscores that by obeying God and doing what is right, individuals can play a part in restoring America to its moral and religious roots.

In conclusion, listeners are invited to join Liberty Christian Fellowship to be part of a community dedicated to reforming lives and renewing the nation's spiritual foundation, echoing Jeremiah's plea: "Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may return, renew our days as of old."
