Suppose Lincoln were President today.

In the heat of the Civil War Lincoln was visited by a group of ministers expressing their support for the North. They said, “We’re praying for the Lord to be on our side.” Lincoln responded, “I’m more concerned that we be on His side.” Can you imaging Barack Obama saying that to anyone? Does he ever talk in terms of humbly seeking God’s direction?

Contrast Lincoln with a president who announces to the world that America is no longer a Christian nation. Saudi, Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. may be Muslim nations but America is not a Christian nation . . . or at least not according to our president. With the Courts’ collusion he is turning separation of Church and state into rejection of church by state.

Benjamin Franklin said, “He who will introduce into affairs the principles of a primitive Christianity, will change the face of the world. I believe that he who will expunge from public affairs the spirit of Christianity will destroy the very fiber that enabled America to change the face of the world.
