It is a good day to celebrate: we took liberty in a responsible way. Not with rebellion, but based on agreed upon Biblical priniciples. Yes! it has been said that the Battle of Concord was won at Hasting. In other words, Englishmen had to respect the principles that the American were fighting upon because both were Christian.
It is a foundational understanding that liberty, freedom, and prosperity came along with adherence to Biblical Christianity. No other culture thru time and space has brought us such. Only the gospel. It is the goodness of God that leads people to repentance. Non-Christians, by contrast are socialized into bad behavior or simply revert to it. Stealing, murder, rape, slavery — these things are either winked at or else directly taught by other religions.
A well-educated young man from well-intentioned parents wrote me that he thought a Christian government would be repressive! I was shocked to tears all day. So, his favored secular communism would be less repressive? Since when has that ever happened? Or maybe the Jihadi one that is just about to come in on top of what we have now? (As if an open border was just the usual cheap labor and not an invitation to sleeper cells!)
Look, how could a Christian government be repressive? To whom would be be repressive? Only to the worst more unrepentant criminals.
And he said this in relation to …. just a moderate candidate…. maybe conservative but really only against crime and sex slavery. How can one slip from that to …. Christian government? Well, I know his family. He goes to an Episcopal church that fences the table against Christians. LIterally. They say if you believe that Jesus in the only way to salvation or right living, you may not come to communion. Lord help us, we are infiltrated by traitors. Let’s get back to our roots.
So today, we talk about the New England Primer. It taught students to read better and faster and cheaper than any method we have today. But the content!!!!
