Scripture reference?
God's Word says basically the opposite. Trust in HIM, and obey... It worked when the Hebrews had to cross the Red Sea, and it worked when Jehoshaphat and the people of Jerusalem were besieged by the Hagarites, Ammonites, and Moabites, and they just went out singing praises to the LORD - and the LORD delivered them (2 Chronicles 20)...
HE has said:
Psalms 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Just throwing up your hands and saying "It's all up to Jesus" isn't going to help one bit.
'Judges Gone Wild' really didn't say that... He said 'Jesus holds our lives in HIS hands'.
I'm sure the founders of this country believed and knew the same thing. The point is not to be focused on any idolatry - be it political parties, or whatever. Service to HIM who saved us ('For God so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life), and eternal life are in Jesus' hands alone...
That said, there is a time to live, and a time to die. A time of peace, a time of war. A great number of our forefathers were believers. There came a time for them to fight tyranny... We will see what the LORD has in store for us. But however it plays out, our lives are in HIS hands. Praise the LORD!
Well put, El Cid. Knowing that God is in control ultimately, gives me hope. God takes no pleasure in seeing lives destroyed. There is a greater issue at stake than this country, and that is the kingdom of heaven, and the souls of people. Those that are hellbent on “calling good evil and evil good” will destroy themselves. “Greater is He who is in you than he that is in the world.”
