What Would George Washington Think of America in 2012?

A Free PeopleIf President George Washington miraculously returned to America in 2012, what do you think he would have to say to our countrymen, our presidential candidates, and President Obama himself? I don’t think most of it would be complimentary. In fact, I think he would be horrified at the direction the country has taken and at the character of her people and leaders.

Our Constitution was made for a religious and moral people. That transcendent notion of God and the belief in the supremacy of divine law is what undergirds our Constitution. Washington said that if the people of America reject that divine law, then this nation would not be able to stand.

Understand, we’re not talking religious doctrine here. We’re not talking about ways of worshipping or denominations. The Bible says that each man is aware of God and His law, that it is part of the innate knowledge that we are endowed with at birth. Unlike Greek philosophical thought, a Judeo-Christian worldview does not accept that we are blank slates upon which life experiences writes a story, whatever story it wants. God’s eternal law is shown to us in the Ten Commandments, which in itself is the basis of justice. And law and justice culminate in the final arbiter of all things earthly and divine, Jesus Christ.

We invite you to join us today on Off the Grid Radio as Bill Heid interviews Dr. Peter Lillback, president of Westminster Theological Seminary and professor of Historical Theology as they discuss the differences in men like George Washington, one of the Founders and first president of this country, and the slate of candidates and gaggle of politicians who make up our government today. It’s a call to reflection not only for our country’s leaders, but to our citizenry as a whole.

Dr. Lillback is the president of Providence Forum, an organization whose mission is to re-instill and promote a Judeo-Christian worldview in our culture and to advance the faith ethics and moral values consistent with the spirit of our nation’s founding. He is the author of numerous articles and books, including: Lessons on Liberty: A Primer for Young Patriots; Wall of Misconception; and George Washington’s Sacred Fire.
