America: the battlefield of ideas

America has become the greatest country on earth, and as such has become the battlefield of modern ideas. It is here where the future of the civilized world will be decided. War, politics, diplomacy, they all come back to the battle of ideas. It is in the assumptions of a society, the core beliefs, that the course that country will take is decided. America is the leader of the west, and our actions define those of the entire world. The battle of ideas in America is determining how most of the world will react. Is this most important battle being won for the glory of God?

For decades, Christianity has been struggling against Humanism in America, and frankly we have been loosing. Humanistic thinking has pervaded every area of our society, even the church. We need to realise not only that there is a problem in our society, but that we must be part of the solution. Analise what you believe, and ask if it is in line with what the Bible says. Look at the world through the Bible, not the Bible through the world. Only once we believe rightly can we enter into the arena and fight for the truth.

The schools, the media, the courts, the laws, the churches, every area of America needs to be reformed. We need to stand firm in the truth, boldly and uncompromisingly, if we wish for this country to have a chance of turning from the path of humanism. Stand and fight for what is good, what is true, what is right. The Christians of America have been silent for too long, we must begin to stand and proclaim the truth in every area of our society. We must not only pray for the country, but act to redeem it, for faith without works is dead.

America's actions define the direction of the entire world like no other country in history. We need to struggle to turn our country back toward God, for in so doing, we are fighting to turn the world towards God.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blogs. Keep it up!
BTW, RC Sproul has written a book titled, "The Consequence of Ideas". It is an overview of philosophers.
