Politics Without God and Bible


"I will send a famine, not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but hearing the words of the Lord." (Amos 8:11)

One of the greatest scourge of a nation is "politics without God!" Leaders of every country should be mature Christians in order to have a free, strong and faithful nation.

I - Politics Without God and The Bible Is Like a Nation Without Freedom - "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32). Truth shall set us free. According to George Washington: "it is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible." According to Andrew Jackson: "the Bible is the rock on which our Republic rests." According to Abraham Lincon: "I believe the Bible is best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book."

II - Politics Without God And The Bible Is Like a Nation Without Foundations - "Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them not shall be likened unto a foolish man which built his house upon the sand." (Matthew 7:26). Apart from the Bible, no one knows what is right and wrong. The Bible provides a moral compass. According Theodore Roosevelt: "if you educate a man in mind and not in morals, you educate a menace to society." In U.S, the divorce rate has these figures:
  • In 1920 - 1 divorce for every 7 marriages.
  • In 1940 - 1 divorce for every 6 marriages.
  • In 1960 - 1 divorce for every 4 marriages.
  • In 1972 - 1 divorce for every 3 marriages.
  • In 1977 - 1 divorce for every 2 marriages.
  • In 1990 and onwards - divorce will outnumber marriages.
III - Politics Without God And The Bible Is Like A Nation Without Faith - "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17). God's laws were given to free us. They restrict us from doing things that cripple and keep us from doing our best. They help us follow his path and gives satisfying answers. Faith comes alive at the points where we apply Scripture to our lives. The Bible is like a medicine-it goes to work only when you apply to the infected area. If only people will humble and pray, then, it's the only time God will heal their land.
