Our national identity is defined by our Christian believes and heritage. Our founding fathers and the reasoning behind people moving to this land was for religious freedoms. Christianity has brought with it the faith of one creator, free will, moral responsibility, freedom, and a spiritual connection to our creator through Jesus Christ. We can not continue to be America if we do not uphold these beliefs and teach our children these moral values.
Our educational system was founded on the idea that all citizens should be able to read, the Bible, and understand the political system of the country because they were active participants in the governing of this country, from the town level up to the federal level. We have shifted our attention away from this and are now focused on preparing students for a college experience at the expense of losing our moral compass.
We need to get back to having a spiritual Christian foundation. This is why we are are here, we need to teach our children these values to help them understand our history so that the mistakes that have taken place do not repeat themselves, so that they have an understanding of what is important in life.
We talk about what is import yet we continue to follow, we need to make a difference in the world in how we live. We have been blessed with abundance, we need to stop living up to that abundance, and give back to the world. Stop raising the standard of living, and living within our means.
Christian values provide hope, love, and peace for this country and the world.
