02. Understanding our Judeo-Christian Heritage

By William J. Dell – 17 September 2011 
Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit ! 

I make no apology for my understanding that God caused this nation to rise and that it was by His providence that it became great, the greatest nation on earth, a beacon of hope and the bulwark of freedom for His children every where. A nation destined to “proclaim liberty throughout all the land [world] unto all the inhabitants thereof,” a nation destined throughout its history, in many conflicts and at the cost of the life’s blood of its citizens, to preserve the liberty and freedom of many nations, tongues and peoples. 

I make no apology for my understanding that it was God in His infinite wisdom that raised up the Founding Fathers to establish our Constitutional Republic. It was through His divine providence and inspiration that its founding documents – The Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution – were written. It is from Him that we receive our unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and Property. It must be understood that ALL human rights come from our Father in Heaven and NOT from earthly governments, because if government has the power and ability to bestow human rights – government has the power to rescind those rights. From 1620 when our Pilgrim Fathers first stepped on Plymouth Rock, through the turbulent establishment of this nation, the terrible crucible of Civil War, and on into the first part of the 20th Century, this nation honored this knowledge and the God who caused it to happen. It was then that We the People, as a nation, enjoyed the blessings of God as they poured down upon us as a nation. 

If you agree with my premise that He established this nation, it necessarily follows that those who would oppose His will to the destruction of this nation are in league with some other power. I will leave it to the reader to decide who or what that power is. 

We the People must look to our past and get back to the basic Constitutional principles granted to us by our Founding Fathers if our Constitutional Republic is going to survive. As the scripture says in 2 Chronicles 7:14. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

We the People must not flag in our resolve to pass the Ideal of America on to our children and grandchildren. To do so is to break faith with our ancestors who gave that Ideal to us as they received it from God. We the People, the patriots of today, must return to the same principles which gave our forefathers their strength of purpose and individual commitment. If we, individually and as a nation, return to that “Power that hath made and preserved us as a nation,” He will then ensure that we can “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Understanding Our Judeo-Christian Heritage – 
This is a Patriot’s Responsibility!
