Ban Truth - Reap Tyranny
by: Berit Kjos

"It is a sad day in our country when the moral foundation of our law and the acknowledgment of God has to be hidden from public view to appease a federal judge." Alabama's former Chief Justice Roy Moore

"Whereas... both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God... I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be...." George Washington, Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1789

"If we will not be governed by God, then we will be ruled by tyrants." William Penn, January 3, 1701

"My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water." Jeremiah 2:12-13

Once again history repeats itself. Like ancient Israel, America has gradually been turning its back to God. Nothing will undermine American values, freedom and sovereignty faster than reframing our Constitution by the dimming light of European values and a global socialist ideology. Notice the "new" views of right and wrong. Our world can't tolerate Biblical laws that identify certain behaviors as sin and certain beliefs as incompatible with Christian faith. Offended by the truth, it bans convictions that once gave rise to social order and prosperity.

Do you wonder why US leaders would ban God's universal guidelines for law and order, then choose social philosophies that turn our God-given personal "rights" into the impersonal "rights" of the "greater whole"? Why would they trade our heritage of freedom for oppressive restrictions and unconstitutional limitations on free speech, gun control and...?

In light of history, these paradoxes make sense. As our nation bans truth and forgets God's Word, it weakens both discernment and resistance to the flood of spiritual and social alternatives. Craving thrills more than truth, the majority will barely notice the change.

Do not doubt that this will happen, for if you do, we and our country will be taken over from within with neither whimper nor moan.

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.... “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face.... The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail.... if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 28:1-14
