A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE ON THE STATE OF AMERICA

Mr Dean Parker started the class by introducing us to his beautiful wife Diane, he told us
about his family and the year of their marriage, told us about places he have travel to around
the world. The teaching was interesting because he make us well comfortable by introducing
himself to us. He introduce the topic and gave a quote by “Winston Churchill “One thing we
have learned from history is that we don’t learn from history” To understand the core values
of a nation, one must simply look to the beliefs set forth during its conception, and, in the
case of America, during the transitional years of the American Revolution. Judge for yourself
how far America have drifted from the original intent of early Americans.

Secondly MR Dean give examples of how America was and where America stand now.
Then: If a proposed article for the Constitution was not supported by, or rooted in the Bible,
it was not considered. In their early writings, many of the Founding Fathers quoted or
referenced the Bible nearly four times more than any other source. Now: The Bible is
mocked, ridiculed, and discarded. Then: Noah Webster, the Founding Father of American
Scholarship and Education, said, “In my view, the Christian religion is the most important
and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government, ought to be
instructed. .”Now: Many students are criticized when they read their Bibles in public, or at
school. Christianity is challenged, mocked, and ridiculed while most other beliefs are
accepted and embraced. Sadly, in order to be politically correct, Noah Webster’s Scripture
references have been withdrawn from recent editions.

Thirdly he gave another example of how laws have change in America Then: “The first and
primary duty of government is to protect innocent human life” (Thomas Jefferson). “Nobody
has the freedom to choose to do what’s morally wrong” (Abraham Lincoln). Now: If the
names of all the babies who have been aborted since the early 1970s were placed on a
monument (much like that of the Vietnam Memorial Wall), it’s been estimated that the
monument would span over 35 miles. Although many protest guns and war, very few speak
out against abortion. The womb is no longer the safest place, but one of the most dangerous.
What a travesty! The teaching was very interesting, see how America was and how it has
change now not for good but bad.

Fourthly Throughout his teaching He never speak against other religious or believe of other
people he made everyone feel comfortable in respective of the religious. But i wonder With
all this things going on in America today accord to what Mr Dean told us if there is still hope
, Mr dean explain that there is still hope according to what the bible say, if my people, who
are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their
land.

His teaching was really interesting and I enjoyed listening to him I hope to listen to his
teaching again .
