In God We Trust
Jim Perdue
Deuteronomy 8:10-14
This begins our series, Politically Incorrect. This week we'll lay a foundation, next week we'll get much more specific. We'll talk about voting, citizenship, responsibilities, etc.
A lot going on in our country: election, economy, moral and social issues. Everyone is very divided and even angry over this election.

Benjamin Franklin: Deist but recognized the need and benefit of Christianity's influence. ''Whoever introduces into public affairs the principles of...Christianity will change the face of the world.''
George Washington: On June 1,1774 wrote in his diary, ''Went to church and fasted all day.'' On his tombstone is engraved John 11:25-26, ''I am the Resurrection and the life, saith the Lord.

Why is this a great country? Because for a time we sought to honor God, show Him respect and give Him glory.
What's going on in our country?
I'm not sure I can answer this question sufficiently. I'm not quite sur ...
