"We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within
these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations
after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth.
May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this
earth remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelist
to the World. May all who see this Cross, remember what we have
done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this
Covenant and in this most noble work that the
Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled."
-Robert Hunt, First Chaplain at Jamestown
April 29, 1607
The following is a letter written by yours truly to
The Franklin Township Sentinel in April 2009:
"We will convey," said President Barack Obama as he stood before the Turkish
Parliament, "our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much
over the centuries to shape the world...including in my own country."
Could he possibly be referring to that crystal clear September morning eight years ago,
when murderous cowards slammed airplanes into the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon for the glory of Allah?
The president also said that 'arrogant' and 'derisive' America is no longer at war with Islam.
In a way, he is right. The proponents of radical Islam started this unholy war or jihad
against us. They are bound and determine to conquer America, to topple what they call
The Great Satan in the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate...
at the point of the sword...
"Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords, Jihad in Allah's cause."
- the Prophet Muhammad.
Muslim advocacy groups operating on American soil deny this, claiming that the
continual rise of violent Islam against the West is a fairytale, that ever since 9/11
Muslims have suffered the slings and arrows of a cruel, right-wing orchestrated
witch hunt led by conservative commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
If this is the truth, then why are these same groups vigorously pushing for
the passage of federal hate crime legislation by our Congress?
Federal Hate Crime laws are not only unconstitutional, but will decree that any
criticism of Islam is hate speech, punishable by fines or possible imprisonment.
Furthermore, why is the possibility of the future implementation of Sharia,
or Islamic law in America, suddenly a hot topic discussion on
primetime television news shows?
President Obama's belittling remarks about our country before salivating crowds
of socialist Europeans, as well as his insinuation before a predominantly Muslim
audience in Turkey that America is no longer a strong Christian nation
is more than a little disturbing to me.
Why did he feel it necessary to discuss the current state of religion in America
with the Turks in the first place? Why was reassuring them that we are now
an all-inclusive multi-faith society so important?
None of our original founding fathers who drafted the glorious document which
became our Constitution were practicing Muslims. Furthermore, Christianity alone
is the heartbeat of western civilization. Contrary to the politically correct spin that
America is in her Judeo-Christian twilight, the truth still remains that our nation
was founded on the moral principles found in the Holy Bible.
In the year 1607, thirteen years before pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock,
another group of men and women left England and braved storm-tossed seas
to come here and begin a new life. After arriving safely in Cape Henry,
Virginia one of their first acts was to give thanks and praise to God.
They also erected a seven foot wooden cross and dedicated
this land to the Lord Jesus Christ.
This simple act of unswerving faith by our colonial ancestors is the main
reason why America has endured and prospered like no other nation on the
face of the earth. Their deep faith, and the freedom to practice religion
granted to every America under the Constitution is why Christians,
Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and other religions can
openly worship here in peace and safety.
In closing, I would like to encourage my fellow Christians in these
perilous times. Do not let your hearts be troubled nor let it be afraid.
And, in the words of the great Winston Churchill, addressing the
British people during the darkest days of World War II,
"Never, never, give up!"
