The Scroll of the prophet Isaiah was

handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place

where it is written: “The Spirit of the LORD is on

me, because He has anointed me to preach good

news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim

freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for

the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the

year of the LORD’s favor.” Luke 4:17-19/Isaiah 61:1-2

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving

be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live

peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Never in my lifetime has our nation been so politically divided as it is today. I remember well the

waning days of “Jim Crow” and the emergence of the civil rights movement. I remember when John

Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. were assassinated. We weren’t as divided

than, as now.

The way I recall, it was during the days of the Viet Nam War, when anarchy ruled on college

campuses and black power riots broke out in the streets of the inner cities of America, that the

political polarization began. Even then, there was more agreement on values and beliefs in America

than we see today. And, believe it or not, less political animosity was evident. I think the change in

civility that we now see reflects a change in our national religious conscience. Today our nation

seems divided over whether or not we are a nation that honors God, “one nation under God with

liberty and justice for all.”

Recently Ann and I visited Washington, DC, with our daughter and her family. We viewed and

considered some important historical documents regarding the establishment of our nation. Clearly,

the birth of our nation was seen by our founding fathers as an act of “divine providence.” For the

most part, our founding fathers believed that we were a free nation because God ordained it to be

so!

But, contrary to other nations, they believed that a nation could be ordained and blessed by God

without its government compelling the acceptance of a national religion or restricting the free

expression of other religious beliefs. Religious beliefs have been the fodder of many civil wars in

history and our founding fathers hoped to form a nation that would last.

The fact is, however, that our religious beliefs inform our civic behavior. As the people of our nation

have become more secular and atheistic, the core values of a free society which include civil

behavior, civil expression of differences of opinions and especially sanctity of life have eroded.

President Lincoln asserted that our nation was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition

that all men are created equal. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of his dream that his four little children

“would one day live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the

content of their character.” The underlying belief of President Lincoln and Dr. King was in the

sanctity of life.

If it were up to Christians today, especially

those of an evangelical bent, I believe that the

vision of President Lincoln and Dr. King would

be within our grasp. The problem lies with

atheistic secularists who seek to rule by

oppression, dividing us by the color of our skin

and ethnicity, establishing a class system based

on academia and demanding that we ignore the

quality of peoples’ character. This will not work!

A nation that refuses to be under God

indivisible, will not the “United States” because

there are no true lasting values around which to

be united.

Many say that religion and politics do not

mix. But I believe that our faith informs our

intelligence, and politics is clearly a matter of

intellectual opinion. So, while we agree that the

first amendment to our constitution is a

cornerstone of our democracy, Christians must

understand that the foundation of our political

persuasions are, in the end, faith-based. Today,

more than ever before, our faith must inform

our political beliefs.

It’s something to think about!

Ministry Team Signups in September

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared

in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

What are the good works God has planned for you? Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 12:27, “Now you are the

body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” Throughout that chapter, Paul writes about how all

the parts of the body are to work together to make the body function well. We need you to step up and

sign up to fulfill your function in the Body of Christ here at The Creek. On page five you will find a list of

each area of ministry and what teams come together to complete that ministry. Take time to ask God

where He has planned for you to work.
