The Character Of A Nation (Proverbs 14:34)

I love America. I would not what to live anywhere else. But we all know that America is not well.
The Christians principles and values, that we once held dear, in this nation, we have put aside, to pursue our own selfish interests, and activities.

The words of Proverbs 14:34 could be chiseled on the tombstone of many civilizations, and it really applies to America. "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." 

For a nation to really be at its best, and to be exalted by the God and the world, the pursuit of righteousness (instead of sin) is the key. The words of Alexis De Tocqueville, a french political thinker, and historian, rings true. "America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." 

A son asked his mother if she remembered the vase that had been in their family for three generations? The mother said "Yes!" The son replied; "Well this generation just broke it." The laws that God has laid down in His Word, are for Americans to follow, so that America can be good, and as a result, become great in the eyes of God, and the world.

We must remember that our forefathers established, that we be one nation under God, not under ourselves. We will be blessed as a nation, when our main goal is to please God first and foremost,
and to obey Him by keeping His ten commandments, instead of throwing them out in the street.

"O Lord, you see what's in the heart! There's nothing hid from You.
So Help us live the kind of life, that's honest, good, and true! GP
