Please note that we do not agree with McDurmon’s covenant theology. “The façade of Christianity: simply put ... it will never do to have the name of Christ written on the surface of things if the substance does not honor His Law. It will never do to have the Ten Commandments posted in the court house if those laws are not in the law books. It will not do to have ‘In God We Trust’ on currency that is not honest money, but instead is left to elite bankers to devalue continually at whim. It will not do to have prayer in schools that are founded on compulsion and coercive taxation, an unbiblical socialistic model. It will not do to put the name ‘God’ in a national Pledge that does not honor biblical social and political theory. It will not do to have ‘our Lord’ written on the very Constitution when that document empowers government to confiscate private property, take eminent domain, if it decides it is profitable for the State to do so. It will not do in a thousand instances for us to place the name of Christ upon a system of unbiblical laws and morals. Not only will it not do, it is blasphemy, and it will be our undoing. ... We are prone, sometimes, to worship not God Himself but instead the phrase ‘God bless America.’ But only God is sacred, the phrase is not, nor is the country per se. We only receive God’s blessing when He gives us grace and we humble ourselves before Him. There is no other reason.” Joel McDurmon, “Christian in Name Only,” The American Vision, Sept. 20, 2012 Comments are closed.
