Twelve score and seven years ago our Fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation whose founders believed a Creator was the source of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. This belief was incorporated into the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Later Lincoln affirmed this spiritual heritage in stating "this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom." The foundation remains, but we have wandered away. Our spiritual emphasis as reflected in participation in houses of worship that had been in excess of 70% perhaps since the nation's founding fell below 50% in 2019. The culture shifted from an emphasis on God's way to man's way. The thesis of this book is that pleasure and prosperity are the primary culprits that stimulate our old nature's addictive tendencies to replace eternal values. Works of the flesh replace fruit of the spirit resulting in loneliness and violence. 4 Steps to Return to Our Christian Heritage shows the way to return to our spiritual heritage. It will not be easy. Forces of evil are on the attack in schools, government, media, entertainment, and even families and churches. This must change, especially in families and churches, the wellspring of spiritual truths. If we are willing, the Creator's power our forefathers depended on can cure our addictive tendencies and return us to our roots. Check out our website: merehumanity.info
