Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation

Well worth reading, if only for the politically-incorrect tone of it. It gives the lie to Liberal and God-hater's notions of the US as being founded as an entrirely secular nation. They would have us believe that the Founders were a bunch of hyporcitical deists - barely even believing in God, much less the ignorant notions of Biblical Christianity.

These latter day revisionists of American History actually read back into our history their own corrupt heart's attitudes. They are the ones who are rotten, not the Founders. Here is what is wrong with the modern day politically-correct critics: "Tit 1:15-16 To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work."

This proclamation was issued in the mid-1850's, and the Christian bloom was far from being off the rose of Americal Christian public testimony at that time. It's tone is unmistakable and sincere. That did not totally fade from public view until the late 1980's.

May our faith see a resurgence again; that Jesus Christ may be publicly praised in every place in this nation founded upon a dedication to Him.
