“If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, then error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendency. If the Gospel does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will. If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of this land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.”
As the Bible has been increasingly diminished and eliminated from the public square in this country( as well as in our schools,colleges, universities,etc.), we see the truth of Webster's words spoken almost two centuries ago.
Consider how far we have fallen: have you taken the time to see the content and language in your TV and cable shows? The anarchy that has now become common place in the streets of America? I am referring to the rioting that goes on when a speaker or politician attempts to exercise their right of free speech. Most recently we have seen this in the actions of a group that calls themselves "antifa".How about the necessity of keepinng our public schools and colleges locked and guarded because of the numerous times gunmen have gone in and murdered students and staff? And of course I would be remiss not to mention the necessity of having guards within our public schools to maintain order among the grade school, middle and high school students. How about a divorce rate in this country that is now over 50%? I could go on but you get the picture. This country has become increasingly, immoral, violent and debased and there is no sign of this "trend" letting up.
There was a time, now many, many decades ago, where the above mentioned events either didn't occur, or if they did, they happened rarely.
There is little doubt this is what happens when a country distorts, diminishes and rejects the teachings of the Christian faith as found in the Bible.
