Good Morning,
Psalm 3
Psa 3 KJV “LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4. I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7. Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8. Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.”

The United States is a great place because of Jesus Christ. We have churches everywhere and that means that we have Christians everywhere. The churches are many but the Christians are fewer. Still we have a moral base that is not based on the arbitrary law of men. Our moral base is based on the law of God and the God fearing men who operate within those boundaries.
At my own house I look out my front window and I see a church, In the distance I can see two more steeples of other churches. Behind my house is a church. Of those churches I am not a member because they have wandered away from the word of God in favor of man's politics and man's riteousness. But there are members of those churches who do know the word of God and for one reason or another they remain complacent or determined. I don't know.
In the Army, I joined the Army National Guard, in 1995 I trained at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. We were all handed Bibles of the King James Version of the New Testament with red lettering for the words of Jesus Christ. This red lettering was a darker red that could be read under red light conditions. The red light was for noise and light discipline conditions.
At the time I joined I claimed I was Hindu so my dog tags reflected this. No one cared. I still got my Bible, anyway.
Throughout my training at Fort Sill we would always have prayers for various activities or events. One of us from the platoon world be asked to lead a prayer or a chaplain might do so. I went along and I sometimes was appalled at being forced to pray with others. Eventually I just went along because spiritually I was changing from the training and fellowship.
That same year I was going to go home for Christmas break. I remember seeing a Jewish chaplain on the way out of the base to go home. He was a huge man built like a rock. He was helping us enlisted soldiers find the right bus to the airport. On his cover (hat) he had the ten commandments where his rank normally would be. Other chaplains who were Christian would have a cross. The US Army didn't care. All chaplains were to facilitate all faiths.
As a matter of fact a Latter Day Saint (Mormon) Chaplain had asked me if I need anything. This was a month prior to my leaving for Christmas break. I met him while I was on phone duty for the battery. We would have an emergency phone to our quarters and someone manned the station 24 hours a day. The Latter Day Saint Chaplain asked if I had a Bhagavad Gita or if I needed any accommodation. The Army knew who I was and wanted me to be welcomed. This is a very Christian behavior. Ultimately we are a fighting organization and all who served had a job but all who served were also welcome as long as they, the soldier, obeyed lawful orders.
In the last 5 years and before in the United States we have had people in the government who have made sure to destroy any Christian morality we have by replacing this with secular morality. This trend has existed for a long time since the initial creation of the United States in 1775. We recognize that we must navigate in this world and that we must allow others to freely operate and worship as they will but not at the expense of our own salvation. This is key. The majority of us Christians and Jews will fight for our God who fights for us. We fight by praying and he fights by sanctifying our people. We pull triggers when we need to.
The critics of the United States don't understand this. They have left God and are full of pride. The countries where God doesn't exist at all in worship are conquered. The people who are Christian within the borders of such God forsaken places are mistreated but saved for eternity or they miraculously are set aside while the chaos gathers others.
In the end we are Christians because we believe and understand the law of the Jews and we are the fulfillment of God's covenant. We in essence are Jews who have come home through Jesus Christ. Jews are not people by a race or generic line only. Jews are those who carry, teach and obey the laws of God. The commandments of God are God's laws. The Jews are those who carry this knowledge and that includes the disciples of Jesus Christ. The Bible Old and New Treatments clearly show that a man's heart makes him a man of God and a man's obedient action and faith make him one of God's people.
Or nation is strong because God is first and everything else is second. We are a nation of sinners for sure. We are as imperfect as any other nation. The difference is that we are not doing anything other than letting God do the heavy lifting. It's the individuals who are Christian who hold this place together. It's also the individuals who you will meet on the battlefield who are ruthless but called to serve anyway. We are the ones who will reach out to help not because of any government mandate but because we are called to do so.
It won't make sense to you until you, too find the Creator of this universe and then prostrate before Him. I pray to you also will let go of the evil of demonic worship and find Jesus Christ who is the High Priest and it is he and only he who can bring you to heaven.
Hebrews 3
Heb 3:1-2 KJV “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2. Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.”
