As we’re coming into the Midterm elections and seeing a number of Muslims winning Democrat primaries, there’s a need to clarify three things that every American should know before they cast their ballot.

#1) There is a God and you’re not Him.

You want to think that because you have the right to be happy, you can make up your own rules.

No.

It’s because God makes the rules, that you the right to be happy.

You take God out of the picture, and you don’t have rights, you have demands. That’s why the Declaration of Independence resonated resonated the way that it did. By stating that our rights are guaranteed by God and not dispensed as a king, we were validated as patriots with a cause. Otherwise, we were traitors with a complaint.

There is a God and you’re not Him.

The Declaration of Independence was addressed to King George, the king of England as well as the head of the Church of England. Every reference to a Creator, the Supreme Judge of the Universe, or Providence was processed as a reference to the God of the Bible and not a generic deity. However you want to try and dismiss the Second Continental Congress as a group of secular politicians with no real regard for religion, let alone the empty tomb, you have to ignore…

Two professors, Donald S. Lultz and Charles S. Hynemman, reviewed an estimated 15,000 items, and closely read 2,200 books, pamphlets, newspaper articles, and monographs with explicitly political content printed between 1760 and 1805. They reduced this to 916 items, about one-third of all political writings longer than 2,000 words.

From these items, Lutz and Hynemann identified 3,154 references to other sources. The source most cited by the founding fathers was the Bible, which accounted for 34% of all citations.¹

There is a God, and you’re not Him!
