A Christian Nation?

Is America a Christian nation? Does America owe more to God for it's forming and sustaining than any other nation? We believe that we will be great as long as we are good. We have not been good for many years, so are we no longer great?

Many years ago there was a movement roughly know as the British Israeli movement.  It claimed that since Britain was a Christian nation it had the right to claim all of the national promises God made to the Jews as their own. That their status in Christ made them owners of Israel's national promises.

America is not a Christian nation per se. It is a Christianized nation due to the several great awakenings in our history. England had some visitations also in their past. America has given the church liberty to do what the church needs to do but it has not promoted or provided for the church's rolls in society.

Partisan politics is divisive and contrary to the command of Christ to love your neighbor as yourself. Ask the failed Christian Coalition how their foray into partisan politics worked for them.

If you are bored with your faith, ask the Lord to revive you. If you think you have a platform that various people will support, run for office. If you think it matters, vote. But do it as a private individual, not as a church.

I think it is important not to get sidetracked into partisan politics. The church has a singular focus; evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. Not politics, not schools, not food banks, not hospitals. If that is not enough to keep you busy, you are not trying.

One final thought. If God loves Christian America, why does God bless pagan Saudi Arabia and godless Red China? Why is all of our national wealth going to nations that hate Christ?
