Reflecting on Divine Guidance in the American Narrative

Reflecting on Divine Guidance in the American Narrative

Embark with me, Chaplain Terry Warner, on a voyage through America's spiritual landscape as we discuss the Bible's fundamental impact on our nation's ethos. Proverbs 14:34 guides this journey, teaching us how righteousness can elevate a country, while sin leads to ignominy. Through the prism of history, we assess the pilgrims' pursuit of a world rooted in Judeo-Christian values, drawing from Gary DeMar's "The Case for American Christian Heritage" to understand the genesis of our principles. It's a deep exploration of how divine guidance has shaped not only our past but also the challenges we face as we strive to maintain this spiritual compass amid modern complexities.

Our mission extends beyond mere observation; as Christians, we hold a responsibility akin to following a GPS to navigate through society's moral quandaries. I share from personal experience, reflecting on my military oath to defend the nation's ideals against forces that aim to disrupt our Christian foundation. Addressing the geopolitical landscape, we turn our gaze to Israel, a crucial element in our Judeo-Christian fabric, and confront common misunderstandings about its role in the broader narrative. As the conversation unfolds, listen closely for insights on how our support for Israel aligns with upholding the values that stand at the heart of our nation's identity.

"He has shown you, O Man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" (Micah 6:8)

00:01:30.614 --> 00:01:33.447
And now the podcast.

00:01:33.447 --> 00:01:45.569
Hello friend, chaplain Terry Warner here, the title of this podcast is, after Recalculating, it's Series 4, episode 22.

00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:50.331
It will air on May 27, 2024.

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.132
Your foundation scripture is Proverbs 14, verse 34.

00:01:56.132 --> 00:02:06.289
Proverbs 14, verse 34 says Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.

00:02:06.289 --> 00:02:12.889
Have you on occasion ignored your GPS but still arrived at your destination?

00:02:12.889 --> 00:02:15.366
Have you even argued with it?

00:02:15.366 --> 00:02:27.587
And maybe, if you knew where you were going and you had it on and you just took a different route, just tweaked the GPS, so to speak, but anyway you got to your destination.

00:02:27.587 --> 00:02:28.945
You could say you lucked out.

00:02:28.945 --> 00:02:38.770
But arriving at your destination by accident is not as serious in your car as it is in using it for the direction of a nation.

00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:45.308
Nation, chaplain, terry, you mean that a nation has a GPS?

00:02:45.308 --> 00:02:47.667
Yes, I do.

00:02:47.667 --> 00:02:57.611
Our United States, or the nation where you are living, also uses a manual or a set of boundaries that govern the spiritual direction of a nation.

00:02:57.611 --> 00:03:04.520
The GPS system for the United States of America is known by its name the Holy Bible.

00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.699
For the United States of America is known by its name the Holy Bible.

00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:16.414
When you look at the complexities of our life and the universe, it is obvious that we didn't get there by an explosion, evolution or by accident.

00:03:16.414 --> 00:03:24.234
We got to where we are today by a loving, compassionate and forgiving God, a super deity.

00:03:24.234 --> 00:03:29.258
Compassionate and forgiving God, a super deity, not by some carved out image made by human hands and tools.

00:03:29.258 --> 00:03:46.037
How revolting and despicable to think this universe, any universe and any kind of life was a result of something else besides God controlling and inducing and bringing about.

00:03:46.037 --> 00:04:03.230
We as Christians should be embarrassed and shamed that, with the eternal power and love of God, we have let our lives and nation fall into such disarray on our short journey through life that our demise could possibly happen on our watch.

00:04:04.842 --> 00:04:14.743
The very first document in regarding to the starting and building of the United States has this quote "For the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.

00:04:14.743 --> 00:04:21.427
Source is the Case for American Christian Heritage by Gary DeMar.

00:04:21.427 --> 00:04:23.324
It's a book, excellent book.

00:04:23.324 --> 00:04:41.252
The pilgrims, when they landed, were starting a new era in life, a new world that had never been done before period, and it was going to be a new Christian, judeo-christian nation.

00:04:41.252 --> 00:04:47.987
I took an oath when I joined the military, stating that I would defend this nation.

00:04:47.987 --> 00:05:03.903
Now I find that, instead of fighting an armed enemy, I find that our foes are non-Christian and anti-God whose sole purpose is to destroy this Christian nation for the love of evil, greed and personal gain.

00:05:03.903 --> 00:05:15.146
Psalm 122, 1 through 9 gives us support for Israel, but especially in verse 6, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

00:05:15.146 --> 00:05:17.968
May those who love you be secure.

00:05:17.968 --> 00:05:24.466
Did you know there was never a Palestinian state or a state of Palestine?

00:05:24.466 --> 00:05:30.567
Did you know that the Palestinian charter calls for extinction of Israelis.

00:05:34.641 --> 00:05:45.213
The State of Israel has yet to initiate any kind of attack against its enemies and only accounts for about 0.2% of the world's population.

00:05:45.213 --> 00:05:49.569
Israel's enemies hate God and the Jewish people.

00:05:49.569 --> 00:05:51.942
Enemies hate God and the Jewish people.

00:05:51.942 --> 00:05:56.985
They're our source for our Judeo-Christian laws and values.

00:05:56.985 --> 00:05:58.687
The Israeli people are.

00:05:58.687 --> 00:06:07.413
God chose Israel and he chose the Jews, and it's his nation and it's his place on earth, which is about the size of New Jersey.

00:06:08.115 --> 00:06:10.757
Israel is not a threat to anyone, never has been.

00:06:10.757 --> 00:06:17.932
But yet they have been attacked throughout history, mainly because of sin and disobedience and everything else.

00:06:17.932 --> 00:06:24.286
But a hatred, antiSemimitism, a hatred of the Jews is wrong.

00:06:24.286 --> 00:06:37.045
Therefore, the enemies of Israel are also the enemies of the United States, because as soon as they conquer Israel which they won't be able to do, but as soon as they try to conquer Israel, they're coming after us.

00:06:37.045 --> 00:06:40.447
Pretty tough history lesson today.

00:06:40.447 --> 00:06:55.783
But if we, as Americans, don't get out of our house in order quickly, or don't get our house in order quickly and draw closer to God, we're going to lose this country to the devil and, consequently, our world will cease to exist.

00:06:55.783 --> 00:07:05.110
I urge you to get off the couch and get on your knees, repent and ask God what you need to do to save our beloved country.

00:07:07.461 --> 00:07:15.454
One more item on the agenda today the Chaplain's Corner is now a 501c3 corporation.

00:07:15.454 --> 00:07:26.651
Any donations and gifts you give to it will be used for the spreading of the ministry and the spreading of the gospel, and using the ministry 100%.

00:07:26.651 --> 00:07:35.209
God is a God of peace and respect and so should you be as you deal with others.

00:07:35.209 --> 00:07:40.928
You have a blessed day In Jesus' name, amen.

00:07:40.928 --> 00:07:45.468
