Generation X-Christian

Following the death of Israel's leader, Joshua, it was lamented, "After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel" (Judg 2:10).

In America, we have reached a generatioal point where nationally, we do not know the Lord.  The powers that be have tried to root out every vestige of our Christian heritage to the point of denying that we even had such a heritage.  They suggest that our founders desired complete seperation from and zero reliance upon the Christian faith of the Bible. 

Really?  Let's ask them.  President Washington?  "To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian" (The Writings of Washington, pp. 342-343).

President Adams?  "Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Biblefor their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the preceptts tthere exihibited...What a Eutopia, what a Paradise this region be" (Diary and Autobiography of John Adams, Vol III, p. 9).

Jefferson?  "I am a real Christian - that is tto say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ" (The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, p. 385).

Hancock?  "Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual..." (History of the United States of America, Vol. II, p. 229).

Though we have reached or are fast approaching Generation X-Christian in our society, our country was absolutely founded on Christian principles, advanced by Christians.  Jus' Sayn.
