balance of faith and state ...

Should politics and church be separated? Should we leave God out of our mental tasks? Should we keep the Almighty out of our laws? Who was the first LawMaker? Who giveth Wisdom? If you love God, can you really keep Him out of certain areas of your life? Should you even think you can keep Him in a corner? If you do so, are you really honoring God?

Aren't we to love God with all our body, mind, heart, and soul? Shouldn't our thought process be under God's guidance? Shouldn't we beseech (pray) God for Wisdom in all that we do? even our work and politics?

No matter how much America's founding fathers provisioned a separation between church and state, they could not separate God from their politics. Their true intent was to keep radicals from enslaving organized religion upon the peoples who yearned to be free. To be honest they found a balance of faith and state. Can we?

  1. At the opening of The Ten Commandments, Cecil B. DeMille stated: "Man has made 32 million laws since the Commandments were handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai...but he has never improved on God's law.... They are the charter and guide of human liberty, for there can be no liberty without the law."
