Our Representative Democracy: a “Christian Thing”
The current policy of the US government treats our Democratic Republic as something that we did
for ourselves. While our founders certainly played their parts, they almost universally also acknowledged a deep dependence upon the God and wisdom of the Bible. And they assumed that only like-minded people could be successfully governed by our Democracy. As John Adams said quite well:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
We abandon these truths to our very great peril!
But the Palestinian people under Hamas are likely to soon make this point for Adams. Let us pray that the Iraqi people will not do the same.
