I am reminded of what Proverbs 22:28 says. It says, “Do not remove an ancient boundary stone set up by your forefathers.” I know this is written in a religious context for it comes from God’s Word, but if this country is founded on biblical principles, could it apply to some of our culture today?
I believe it does in many areas. One, reversing its own 2002 ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rule that the phrase “under God” can remain in the Pledge of Allegiance because the phrase is religious but does not represent a prayer. The court issued a similar ruling about the motto “In God We Trust” on currency, saying the use of “God” is ceremonial and patriotic, not religious. In 2002 the Court ruled that “under God” was unconstitutional. All three lawsuits were filed by Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow, who says the phrase alienates nonreligious people in U.S.
I ask you, Is this not moving ancient boundaries? Stay alert! We are seeing many of our ancient boundaries challenged and changed.
Help us if our country is not “under God”, and if we don’t “trust in Him”.
Never has there been a more powerful display of the ‘tail wagging the dog’! A disenfranchised being dictating the law(s) of the land… it would be laughable if it weren’t true. Sadly we sleepwalk while people like this undermine our Constitution and mock the brilliant minds of the believers that penned it. Yes, stay alert church, lest our core values get marginalized by squeaky wheels like Mr. Newdow.
