And Houses Built on Sand
The Founding Fathers clearly sought the will of God in founding the country- they clearly sought the guidance of a God who intervenes in human affairs and hoped He would intervene for them.
Otherwise, they knew, collectively that the effort would be ultimately doomed.
This is the thesis of the AU Professor who has widely published in the church-state arena. He gave a talk today at a place I had never been but was glad I went today. The Family Research Council. Usually I get thoroughly disgusted at experts on family research who never married and had no kids- but I didn't care the familial pedigree of this academic from McClean Presbyterian. Because he made sense- and he is correct. The biblical literacy level of the founders was not what it is today.
I somehow think the era of cell phones, I-pads and pod and portable dvd players has dumbed us down appreciably. No one reads anymore. Not so the founders.
This lecture is worth hearing in full- and the slide show was funner than Nintendo.
