The primary reason we have so many problems in our country is that we have strayed so far away from Gods laws and embraced mans laws. In his book In God We Still Trust, Dr Richard G. Lee writes: Gods Laws for Gods Creatures “As Americans know, the Declaration of Independence declared not only the colonies independence from Britain, but also a dependence on “the Laws of Nature and of Natures God.” These had been defined by historic legal writers, such as Sir William Blackstone, as the laws that God had established for the governance of people, nations, and nature. Blackstones Commentaries on the Law, the primary law book of the Founding Fathers, define “the laws of nature” as the will of God for man. Blackstone explained: Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being....And consequently...it is necessary that he should in all points conform to his Makers will. This will of his Maker is called the law of nature....It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times; no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this.... But every man now finds...that his reason is corrupt, and his understanding full of ignorance and error. This has given manifold occasion for the benign interposition of Divine Providence....The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the Holy Scriptures.... Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws...no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.” p.152, In God We Still Trust Because we have allowed the control of our educational system to fall into the hands of those who do not respect God or His will, very few people in America understand the origin of our system of government as Dr. Lee seems to believe they do. It is my prayer that you will be able to stand up for Gods laws and in the process will be able to educate others about why it is so important that we return to dependence on God, rather than government.
