“If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under,” said President Reagan.

Those are words of wisdom, in my estimation.

Reasons why:

• I think those are words of wisdom because they acknowledge that man is noble but fallen (i.e., sinful).
• I think those are words of wisdom because they acknowledge that there is always a God of the system. In other words, if there is no God above the state, then the state becomes God.
• I think those are words of wisdom because they acknowledge that judgment is inevitable. That is, “going under” as a nation would be the result of hostile sinners scoffing at God, mocking the holy, perverting the sane, normal, biblical ways of morality and instead embracing identity politics, borderlessness, rogue judges, groupthink, and denials of reality. (Some people claim they don’t even know what a woman is. However, they simultaneously claim that people can ‘transition’ via medical castration, injections of hormones, and plastic surgery. But wait, if gender is just a construct, from what are you transitioning? And into what are you transitioning? Transition literally means “a going across or over from one to the other.”) Logic and the law of identity are such great levelers, n’est-ce pas?

Takeaway: It’s not whether but which. In plain language, man will invariably worship. He’ll either worship the one and only true God who created us either male or female (Genesis 5:2) or he’ll worship an idol–a false god, something that is not the only true and living God. False gods may be politics, groupthink, AI, sexuality, power, fame, wealth, the demonic, oneself, calves of gold, or comfort. The list could continue. It’s not whether but which.

President Reagan, one might say, nailed it.
