Weekend, July 3, 2021 Our Nation's Two Choices "What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance" (Psalm 33:12 NLT). The 75th Anniversary issue of Forbes magazine featured the theme "Why we feel so bad when we have it so good."

We have all these things that citizens of other countries dream about, yet we still have a sense of emptiness. Why? I think Abraham Lincoln answered it well when he said, "We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own." President Lincoln was right. We have forgotten God. And it's even truer today than when he made that proclamation in 1863. We've tried to push God out of the courtroom, out of the classroom, and, for all practical purposes, out of our culture.   CONTINUE READING →
