Politics & Religion
Government has replaced God
As Christianity is driven from the public square, what is replacing it?
As the American people turn away from God, where do they look for their salvation?
As they abandon their churches, where will they look for guidance to help them become the kind of people they should be?
They look to government. And, as the faith of people in government as the source of their salvation and redemption grows, the government becomes an increasingly jealous god, trying to drive any competing religions from the market square.
Between the onslaught of atheism and Progressive Socialism, will the United States of America survive as a nation guided by the values embodied in the Ten Commandments? Or will they redefine them as Ten Suggestions and succumb to the seductive voices of socialism and turn the powerful engine of Capitalism into a tandem bicycle where there is one free loading rider for every person pedaling? Godvernment both warns of this swirling collision as the worship of government replaces the worship of God and prescribes the challenging course to true salvation, both personal and societal.
In 1832 in Kirtland, Ohio, the American Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr taught seven lectures on faith. His is the authoritative work on the subject.
What it is
What is it based on
What effects come from it
If you have ever struggled to gain a meaningful understanding of the concept of faith, this book is exactly what you need.
As a young missionary, far from home in Ecuador, I struggled to understand the concept of faith and how I could use it in my life.
I read in the Bible of how Moses parted the Red Sea by faith in God. Samson defeated with Philistines with only the jawbone of an ass for a weapon. How Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were saved from the fiery furnace by their faith in God, and Daniel was delivered from the den of lions.
Faith, it seemed, was a source of power. But one I did not understand what it really was and how to use it.
Studying the Lectures on Faith gave me the understanding of faith I needed to be able to make it a power in my life everyday.
I am confident it will help you in like manner.
