(WND)—America is falling apart at the seams, or so it seems. About a decade ago, Dr. Richard Land – then the president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, today the executive editor of The Christian Post – wrote a book called, “The Divided States of America.” If we were divided then, how much more so today?
It is inconceivable that the day would come that Jews in America would need to feel fearful. For all of its flaws, America has been a secure place of refuge for the downtrodden, including Jews, who have been historically oppressed in nation after nation.
But after Hamas’ barbaric atrocities in Israel on Oct. 7, including the beheading of Jewish babies, protesters in America have taken to the streets to denounce the Jews.
This anti-Semitic wave is just one of many examples of the decline of our nation. Several months ago, the Wall Street Journal opined that if Western civilization, of which the United States is a prime example, were to die, it would be through suicide.
In that op-ed, Gerard Baker notes, “If we are losing, it is because we are losing our soul, our sense of purpose as a society, our identity as a civilization. We in the West are in the grip of an ideology that disowns our genius, denounces our success, disdains merit, elevates victimhood, embraces societal self-loathing and enforces it all in a web of exclusionary and authoritarian rules, large and small.”
Dr. Peter Lillback, founding president of Providence Forum, for which I serve as the executive director, once made a powerful observation in our film, “Endowed By Their Creator.” (This is one of our seven hour-long documentaries on America’s Judeo-Christian roots.)
Said Lillback: “There’s never a last word for a nation until God’s Providence says you’re done. I’m not ready to give up on America. There’s too much treasure of great freedoms, of wisdom, of biblical truth, even of sending the Gospel out to the nations.”
He went on to note, “There’s always a chance for revival, reformation, new beginnings. [But] it’s a dangerous time. We are deciding … will there be a future for America? We will make that decision. [Will] we choose as Washington once said, ‘to follow ‘the Divine Author of our blessed religion’? We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. If each of us in our own place choose to do that which is right, we begin to change history.”
Lillback concluded, “America’s not finished unless we die by suicide. That’s what Abraham Lincoln once said. He said, ‘No foreign nation can ever take a step on the Blue Ridge Mountains or take a drink from the Ohio River or visit the Shenandoah Valley in a contest of a thousand years, unless we let them do it. A free nation will live forever, or it will die by suicide.’”
Poll after poll indicates that the vast majority of Americans today feel that we are headed in the wrong direction as a nation. That strong feeling itself is a positive point. If most citizens felt good about all the terrible things happening as our country seems to implode, then we’d really be in trouble.

So how do we get back on the right track? By returning to basic principles. The essence of the American experiment is self-rule under God.
Our national birth certificate is the Declaration of Independence. It says that our rights come from the Creator, not from the government. And government derives its authority from the “consent of the governed.”
Consider the advice of George Washington. After the American War for Independence, but before the official treaty ending the conflict, he sent a letter to the governors of the 13 states. It was a famous letter, dated June 13, 1783, and is called the “Circular to the States.”
Near the end of this circular, to which Dr. Lillback alluded above, Washington said that he prayed we will all learn to imitate Jesus Christ. This is exactly how he worded it: “I now make it my earnest prayer that God … would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do Justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the Characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation.”
He is essentially praying that God would give us the grace to follow the example of Jesus – that we would display love, humbleness, grace and a peaceful disposition.
If we don’t follow Christ, says the father of our country, “we can never hope to be a happy Nation.” In fact, we will be anything but a happy nation. Kind of like what we’re seeing today.

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.

Not really —— with Nadler, Raskin, Schumer, Schiff and others telling us that commie fascist groups like ANTIFA do not exist –– and the chosenite crowd sooo vocal these past few years in championing shipping the non–SPIKEVAXED to reeducation camps and concentration camps, at times they appear hellbent on dividing and destroying America!!!
A rabbi, Juliette Kayyem of the DHS, urged disastrous measures against the Canadian truckers —— WHY????
Some of those college professors denouncing Israel and verbally accosting Jewish students are Jewish – the Jewish stepdaughter of Kamala Harris, supposed VP, raises $$$ for Hamas terrorists!
The ADL is a harcore communist organization now promoting ever greater CENSORSHIP, taking obsceme advantage on the terrorist strikes against Israel! The origination of the “white nationalist” meme can be traced back to the SPLC, Southern Poverty Law Center, when the Cohen family managed it!
Rabbi Reuven has given talks before Wall Streeters admonishing them to clean up their acts and reminding how Hitler came to power: his campaign promised to clean up pornographers and the transgender crowd (yes, early trans types in pre–war Germany) – who were mostly Jewish, and to clean up the communists – who were mostly Jewish, and to clean up the usury lenders –who were mostly Jewish, may strike a similar chord today!?
As comedian Allan Sherman once sang in one of his satire songs, “And everybody hates the Jews!” A lot of self–reflection may be in order . . .
Time to get our FACTS straight, bubbas!
Nadler and the others told us “Antifa does not exist” and since so much of this so—called “antisemitism” is generated by the NONEXISTENT antifa, antisemitism cannot therefore exist —- so there’s NO antisemitism!
Can’t have it both ways, bubbas!!!
