The Soul of a Nation | Eastern North Carolina Now

  The following article is submitted by Kristie Sluder, candidate for the NC 14 US Congressional seat.

   Just as an individual has a body, so a nation has borders. Just as a body has a soul, so a nation has its people. And just as a soul is a spirit being, so our nation is built on the spirit of personal freedom and responsibility as outlined in that beautifully radical document called the US Constitution.

   The spirit, soul and body of this nation is intrinsically linked to its creator. The wisdom and the spirit of this nation was not derived from men, but rather by God  who desires for us to live free and safe in a world where all the joys and struggles of life can be successfully navigated  by his Grace. Remember the scriptures tell us that it is for “Freedom that you have been set free.”

   Common men crave an existence free from the oppressive tirades of greedy power mongers, like Justin Trudeau, hell-bent on forcing their dark agenda on the masses.

   It is the example and wisdom Christ gave us that built this nation. Faith in Him brought us through the struggles, the hardships and the years of developing and maturing into what we are today and faith in him will sustain us for generations to come.

   Yet, “In God We Trust” has been relegated to the corner of narrow-minded ambiguity. As a result, the social fabric of our nation has crumbled.

We must strengthen the Judeo-Christian foundations upon which the soul of this nation has prospered. Is America blessed? Above all other nations? Then remember blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Is Israel blessed? Then remember he said, “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.”

   We must teach the whole truth about our country’s history in our classrooms. We must speak the truth boldly in our boardrooms. And we must expect the truth be discovered with Grace in our courtrooms and Justice be rendered with Mercy.

   Lincoln said the philosophy in the school room in one generation would be the philosophy of government in the next. Well, look around, we’re living in the “next.” and as far as I can see it's a dumpster fire in every direction.

   Anarchists, and violent anti-nationalists are the children of  secular humanists who subscribe to atheistic evolution and spew their filthy indoctrination mantras through the halls of higher education.

   Christians have allowed themselves to be relegated to the closet of narrow-minded antiquity. We are routinely slandered at the bequest of the secular left on their broad march to implement their religion of socialism.

   America's future stands in Christ alone. Let’s test this wisdom. When the left was able to scare schools into take him out of the curriculum, did our schools get better or worse?

   When leftist fought to take him out of our courtrooms by attacking the ten commandments and viciously assaulting those principles, did our courtrooms get better or worse?

   Now they earnestly seek to remove him from our government. Listen to the words of Jerry Nadler,  “the will of any supposed God is of no concern to this Congress” and then they proceeded to pray in the name of All God’s, concluding with the affirmative of Amen and “Awoman”.

   Do you really think our lives are going to be safer by allowing them to remove Him from our government, still our voice and rob us of our vote? Think about it.

   If they are able to succeed in our government as they have in our classrooms and courtrooms then you can expect the same results for our society.

   The highest goal of the matter, spiritually speaking,  is to silence the “In God We Trust” people. They hate our testimony of who Jesus is because this reduces their Kingdom and increases his.

   This is the ultimate goal of the elitist, the globalists and the secular humanist working under the powers, principalities and spiritual wickedness that exists in high places.

   We must confront those ideologies that seek to destroy our spiritual heritage, remove our identity and put our people at risk of all manner of ruthless oppression.

   The gracious lady who stands in the harbor was no fool. She knows that wisdom must build the house. She expects you to come with peace and gratitude for a country that dies to itself to maintain your freedom.

   We cannot allow the virtue of this Nation to be further corrupted by mindless fools wondering along like dark stars and expanding universe. We must protect her body, restore her soul and strengthen her spirit through the wisdom of Truth and Grace.

   We must begin by insuring that her borders are secure and she is not being infected by thieves and robbers and liars and the violently wicked managing the back door of our house prospering on the trade of human desperation.

   We must make sure that her soul is safe and healthy by keeping good company with good neighbors and teaching the wisdom and the truth of the scriptures. Proverbs would be a great place to start since there’s such a lack of true wisdom.

   We must know who our friends are and we must know who our enemies are.  And they must know that if our good will is violated then we will be enemies in war, albeit friends in peace.

   The spirit of our nation must be preserved in the heritage of our Constitution which declares that we are one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for All - not some, and that the rules apply to All - not some.  

   We must strengthen her spirit by choosing to put our trust in God alone through Christ alone by faith alone.

   The scripture says If you put your trust in people you’ll be put to shame, and if you put your hope in them you will be disappointed. So it’s imperative to remember that we put our hope in God not man and not man-made government.

   Our ultimate hope, our ultimate trust, our ultimate peace comes from focusing on him and putting our trust in him. God give us the wisdom strength and courage to do the right thing at the right time for the right reason to ensure a stable future, not only for our society but for those around the world.
