Washington, Lincoln,
Reagan and Obama
(Kent Heaton)
It was December
1777 when George Washington marched his beleaguered army into Valley Forge,
Pennsylvania. The winter of that year would almost decimate Washington’s army
and push the limits of hope in a most desperate time. A Valley Forge resident
named Isaac Potts found the general off to himself deep in prayer to God for
deliverance. The first president of the United States would later write, “It is
impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.” He knew the
power of prayer and trusting in the word of God for guidance; unlike president
Obama.
Abraham Lincoln had
a deep respect and knowledge for the Bible. He said, “I have been driven many
times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no other place to
go.” The 16th president of the United States acknowledged the need
of prayer and presence of God. One of Lincoln’s most inspiriting quotes came
when he said, “Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest
concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.” President Obama would
do well to listen to Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln would not stand with Mr. Obama
and approve his presidency. “I must stand with anybody that stands right, and
stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong”
(Abraham Lincoln).
Ronald Reagan
quoted George Washington who said, “Despair my fellow countrymen of ever
teaching citizenship save on the basis of immorality & abandon all hope of
teaching morality on any other foundation than religion for the nation that
forgot God has never been allowed to endure.” President Reagan was a firm
believer in the influence of the word of God. It was not uncommon for Reagan to
quote the Bible, make reference to God and quote Jesus Christ as the source of
true peace. The presidency of Barak Obama is fulfilling the words of the
previous president Reagan who said, “If we ever forget that we are one nation
under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”
Embracing
homosexuality will become the legacy of Obama. He has never held a belief in
God nor the Bible. Our country is being led by an administration that is doing
everything in its power to undermine and destroy the moral fiber of our
country. The Bible clearly teaches the sanctity of marriage between a man and a
woman. Jesus said, “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? So that they are
no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not
man put asunder” (Matthew 19:5-6).
The apostle Paul
described the immoral nature of homosexuality when he wrote, “For this cause
God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use
into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men
working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their
error which was due. And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge,
God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
fitting” (Romans 1:26-28). President Obama is serving the wiles of the devil
and setting on course the downfall of the United States of America. As people
of God we must take a stand against disregard for the purity of the word of
God. If we allow this government to “sow the wind” of ungodliness we all “shall
reap the whirlwind” (Hosea 8:7).
