Very true. The replacement of God by nihilism or excessive rationalism has left a huge gap in our nation's spiritual consciousness. Whenever societies allow those cultural gaps to grow unchecked, we get the totalitarian excesses of a Hitler, Stalin or Mao.

I believe we need a return to foundational principles or this nation is lost permanently. Trump has given us a temporary stopgap, but what we are doing is much larger than Trump or any secular movement. We have to reclaim our Judeo-Christian heritage that has been under assault for the last 70 years.

A lesson might be had from an anecdote about the constitutional drafting effort and Ben Franklin, who suggested prayer to break the impasse that the effort had hit, reasoning that if a sparrow cannot fall apart from the Father’s will, how much less could we expect an empire to rise without His aid. And it appeared to help.

Donald Trump is doing the best he can when invoking “God bless America.” It is now up to America to say Amen and accept a blessing, which will necessarily entail leaving curses behind. And curses are found in attempts at self-actualization as opposed to God-actualization. Refuse God’s love and you’re left with naught but the devil’s hate. And he’s tickled to drag fools to hell, where hate will exist between them and God forever.

Amen.

"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
