THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD TIME TO

CONSIDER THE “STATE OF THE

CHRISTIAN UNION” IN 2006



President Bush has delivered his fifth annual “State of the Union” address, with – as expected – mixed reviews. No one expected the Democrat Liberals to like it – the party of Kennedy and Kerry (two of the wealthiest Senators) doesn’t like anything the president says or does. And they were particularly irked by the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, after their blatant attempts at character assassination failed. But even the ostensibly Conservative columnist Robert Novak wrote, “The consensus on the right was that President Bush’s fifth State of the Union Address was his worst.” And Novak is pretty much correct. There wasn’t much in the president’s speech to encourage Conservatives in our desire for restraint in government growth and spending, and for addressing our domestic problems which seem to be ignored by the heavy emphasis on foreign issues where we appear to be moving toward allowing members of the UN to dictate our course of action. The president’s party is supposedly in power, but it seems almost fearful of offending the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Murtha and Cindy Sheehan, all of whom are fostering an anti-America agenda which can only have disastrous results.



It just may be that we Evangelical Conservative Christians are going to have to go-it-alone, and use the influence which our membership in the millions makes available to us. After all, it is we as American voters who elect the politicians who run this country both at the state and national level. We have a voice in government, and we must no longer let it be muted. Just consider: assume that there are 40 million Evangelicals in this country. It isn’t reasonable to think that 1 out of 2 . . . or 1 out of 10 . . . or 1 out of 25 would be willing to speak up for what we believe. But suppose that just 1 out of 40 would be willing to make just one phone call or send just one email message to their Senators and their Representative. The effect of one million voters contacting their elected representatives in Washington could change the direction of this nation now and well into the future. We have given the phone number before: 1 (202) 224-3121. Ask the operator for your Senator or Representative . . . and tell them what you want them to do. Remember: they are there because we elected them. If they want to stay, they must represent us and the causes in which we believe.



What applies to the national political scene applies also to the local state political scene. You can have even more influence right there at home. So don’t overlook the state politicians.



What is that we want? This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles by men who made no secret of their religious convictions. Patrick Henry, for example, stated the foundational premise very clearly, “It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.” For more than a century this was the prevailing viewpoint for America and Americans, but then the “progress” – now so strongly touted by people like Senators Kennedy and Kerry and Representative Pelosi and Democrat Chairman Howard Dean – began to tear down the principles which had made America great. “Separation of church and state” – a concept never mentioned or implied in the Constitution – opened the doors to fulfill the atheists’ goal of eliminating God from the American way of life . . . Abortion (a practice condemned by God) was legalized, and already some 47 million babies have been legally murdered by their mother’s “choice” . . . Sodomy (another practice condemned by God) was legalized, on the basis of a principle not mentioned or implied in the Constitution . . . now the courts, with judges legislating from the bench, have become part of the Liberals’ “progress” movement and are endorsing homosexuality and legalizing homosexual marriage; again, practices condemned by God.



These violations of moral law are just the proverbial “tip of the iceberg,” but they are the basis for our cry to “restore the old foundations.”



But beyond these serious attacks on America’s Christian heritage, there are other elements in our national way of life which need our attention as American Christians. One tremendously important issue is illegal immigration – the problem of people from another country entering this country in violation of our laws, and living here illegally, costing American taxpayers billions of dollars in providing benefits for them and their children, who, because they are born here, are legally American citizens. This problem has now become one involving literally millions of illegals, and despite all the promises of government to address it, nothing gets done, and the problem continues to grow.



The discovery during the past few weeks of sophisticated tunnels originating in Mexico and extending into Southern California may have awakened Americans to the danger not only of increased illegal entries, but also of easy importation of drugs, and convenient access to anti-American terrorists. Thus, while this is not a religious doctrinal issue, it is an issue which demands the attention of American Christians. This is not an easy issue to resolve, but it is one which must be faced and dealt with – sooner, far better than later. Those who advocate a solution involving the concept of amnesty must remember that borders secure against all forms of incursion cannot be maintained if we attempt to reward lawbreakers who are already illegally present in this country. Yet that is exactly what the Liberals want to do, and preventing them from achieving that goal is step one in the task of solving the illegal immigration problem.



Another issue of major importance is what President Bush called our addiction to oil. Much of our imported oil comes from countries already aligned against us, yet every effort to meet our needs from domestic sources – offshore drilling and tapping the sources in ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Reserve) -- are constantly thwarted by Liberals and Environmentalists whose protective reasoning borders on the ludicrous. They seem more eager to trust our oil supply to Arab countries of the Middle East and to Communist dictators like President Chavez of Venezuela. This, too, is not an easy issue to resolve, but is an urgent one, with effects from failure to solve it touching all Americans.



Being an American has never been easy, and it is not easy today. Being a Christian American is much less easy today than it was when this nation was founded. There are challenges facing us, both of a purely spiritual nature, and of a national “what’s best for America” nature. We can bury our heads in ideological sand and retreat to the ivory towers of fading church significance – or we can speak out and let our voices be heard and reclaim America for the purposes our founding fathers intended.



Quotation of the week . . . the week in which Ronald Reagan’s birthday occurs . . . “The churches of America do not exist by the grace of the state … the churches of America are not mere citizens of the state. The churches of America exist apart, they have their own vantage point, their own authority. Religion is its own realm, it makes its own claims. We establish no religion in this country, or will we ever. We command no worship. We mandate no belief. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave it bereft of belief… The Founding Fathers believed that faith in God was the key to our being a good people and America’s becoming a great nation.” -- President Ronald Reagan
