Why America Must Return to the Faith of Our Fathers

Skilled statisticians like George Barna and carefully researched studies from the Pew Reports all show a declining moral climate and a gradual but alarming number of youthful exits from the church in America. Is it chronic, should we be worried?

Any writer, preacher, prophet or ordinary live a day Christian worth their salt is calling for America to come to her senses and return to the faith of our fathers. They are not moved by the rhetoric of socialisms priest and preachers whether found in academia, media, Hollywood or political office. They are driven by the proof shown to them in the fruit of America’s past, but they are not merely driven by common nostalgia.

Faith of our fathers! living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword
Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy
Where'er we hear that glorious word
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death

The English hymn (1849), "Faith of Our Fathers", remains one of the most revered and popular in Christianity. It was played and sung at the funerals of presidents Chester Arthur and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

This hymn reminds us all of the sacrifices and many times, martydom, made by those in every branch of the Christian family who have passed their faith down to us. It's our sacred trust to pass it down to those who follow us.
