Is America A Christian Nation?

I didn’t have time to post this yesterday but want to be certain to do it today.

If you missed the July 4th weekend broadcast of In Touch featuring guest speaker David Barton, you have another opportunity to hear his talk which was re-broadcoast this past Sunday due to popular demand. Here’s the link:

This week, following the broadcast, Dr. Stanley visits with Mr. Barton and does a brief interview.

However, the full version of the interview (which they didn’t have time for in the broadcast) is featured in the below link (simply click on the link and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on full audio interview:

The radio interview is extremely helpful for many reasons, but one important one is because Mr. Barton addresses what we mean when we say “Christian nation.” A frame of reference it is important to understand.

I truly believe every person in America needs to see this broadcast. Even my youth group, some of whom are admittedly not fond of history, were very interested in this broadcast.

May we be diligent in seeking God’s guidance for our nation.

Our Nation Based on Christian Principles

I watched a broadcast on In Touch this weekend that every American should see. All about our founding fathers, and why a nation determined to live by biblical standards is critical - even to those who don't believe.

I encourage you to go to In Touch at http://www.intouch.org and view this video of the talk by historian David Barton. Through Friday, this video will be right on the main home page. By Saturday it will be moved to the video archives. Simply go to Broadcast, video, and select the July 5th broadcast "Is America A Christian Nation?".

Even if your interest is historical only, not religious, you will get a LOT from this broadcast. David Barton is an outstanding speaker. I would love to be able to have him come here to Arizona and speak some day.

In the midst of our trying times, it is easy to feel dejected. This message will lift you up and encourage you. And I hope it will do one more thing we haven't been especially good at - a nation of prayer.
