To the editor:
The legacy we leave behind for our children and this great nation is crucial. Much is hanging in the balance, and this election could either be the turning point or the point of no return for our nation.
John Adams, the second president of the United States, wrote "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other ... Free government rests upon public and private morality." It was Christianity, not government, that was the driving force behind true freedom.
Dr. Jedediah Morse said in 1799 "When the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them."
Our nation has been blessed by God more than any other nation. We've lived in years of peace and periods of great prosperity. Sadly, the church was lured to sleep and we have a generation of "baby boomers" obsessed with materialism and freedom from moral restraint.
The problem facing America is not political but spiritual to the core. To win this war and save the political character of this nation is to change the moral character of its people with the gospel. Our Founding Fathers understood that. Dr. Benjamin Franklin Rush said in 1786 "Nothing can be politically right that is morally wrong."
It is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on Biblical principals: To protect the sanity of human life and to support the Biblical definition of marriage between one man and woman.
