Remedy for the Culturally Nauseous
“We are what we eat.” Okay, I get it. Feeding my body junk food produces an unhealthy body. Conversely, eating healthy food produces a healthier body.
Question, is the brain any different?
In other words, violent video games, sexually explicit content, morally bankrupt movies, talk and comedy shows, dishonest reporting, are, in fact, unhealthy brain food, unhealthy patterns of thinking, producing cankerous logic in those who feed on such mental moonshine, and hence, creating an unhealthy and perverse culture?
Our culture is in trouble and we're too cowardly, callous, or clueless to admit the cause...
America’s founding standards, those that birthed the idea of America, that formed early American Culture, are Judeo-Christian. Early settlers were moored to biblical Truths and principles, as written in the founding documents (see: http://www.faithfacts.org/christ-a…/the-bible-and-government ). This fact alone is what made America great! The emphasis is clearly that God’s Word fed the hearts and minds of our Forefathers/mothers/families. And they wrote these truths into the Mayflower Compact, Declaration, Constitution, and 50 state constitutions. This act of communal agreement around God and his word is reflective of Deuteronomy 28 and Joshua 24.
Even others recognized it and commented on it.
“America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” Alexis de Tocqueville
God’s plan for community has been challenged since before America’s inception, really since the very beginning of time. But recently, we have seen the acceleration of attempts to systematically dismantle America’s foundation. We’re being attacked, on many fronts, all at the same time, while revisionists are busily rewriting history to mislead future generations. This multi-head strategic firestorm of the Anti-American, anti-God dissidents are destabilizing America, for purposes of overthrowing her from within.
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln
So how do we stop and reverse this trend?
We ask God to come back and be the center of our culture - the center of Government, the center of the Justice system, the center of Education and Entertainment, the center of Business, Media, and Religion. And most importantly, the center of our families. While a peace and love generation asked God to leave, our violence tattered, schizophrenic culture must ask Him to come back.
Democracy, self-governance, or governance by the people, is only sustainable in a culture that is unified around a common set of beliefs. Specifically, our Founders trusted implicitly in God. And they dared hope that each successive generation would pass on this Judeo-Christian heritage. America’s Founding Fathers understood that the Bible is the ONLY Truth compass to successfully navigate culture through the rough waters of other failed government experiments - socialism, globalism, communism, totalitarianism, oligarchies, and monarchs…
Read up on, or go see, The National Monument to the Forefathers, formerly known as the Pilgrim Monument, located in Plymouth, Massachusetts (https://en.wikipedia.org/…/National_Monument_to_the_Forefat…). Or watch the Movie, Monumental, with Kirk Cameron and Stephen McDowell for a perspective. This monument can be considered “the granite map of America,” a sculpted storyboard of sorts, from the Pilgrims, how to establish and maintain the ideals upon which Freedom was built....and maintained.
