Our Founding Principles are What Made America Great
At the heart of it all, one principle stands tall and unwavering – the greatness of America is intricately tied to the greatness of our founding principles.

In a recent episode of The Jeff Dornik Show, I had the privilege of joining Dr. Alan Keyes on Let's Talk America, delving deep into the core concerns that weigh heavily on my mind about the current state of our beloved country. At the heart of it all, one principle stands tall and unwavering – the greatness of America is intricately tied to the greatness of our founding principles.
As we navigated through the complexities of the nation's challenges, I couldn't help but underscore the fundamental belief that America's exceptionalism is rooted in principles that echo the very nature of Christian faith and our Almighty God. It's a truth that seems to have been lost in the tumultuous sea of modern discourse.

Our conversation began with a foundational premise – each of us, as individuals, is created in the image of God. This profound truth, often overlooked in today's discourse, serves as the bedrock for the inherent value that every American possesses. It is from this divine image that we derive certain inalienable rights, bestowed upon us by God and, crucially, impervious to government encroachment.
It is this departure from the core principle that has, in my view, led us to the challenging juncture we find ourselves facing today. As a nation, we have veered away from the essence of our founding principles, and the consequences are evident in the chaos that unfolds around us.
The notion that our rights are God-given and beyond the reach of government interference is not merely a philosophical stance but a guiding light that has defined the American experiment from its inception. The erosion of this principle, the neglect of the sacred bond between faith and governance, has sown discord and uncertainty in the fabric of our society.
It's essential to acknowledge that the departure from our foundational principles is not a recent phenomenon but a gradual shift that has unfolded over time. Our nation's journey has seen us stray from the principles that once united us, leaving a void that is now filled with division, mistrust, and a sense of unease.

In this episode, I sought to bring attention to the urgent need for a course correction. To retrace our steps back to the principles that, when adhered to, made America a beacon of hope and resilience. The conversation with Dr. Alan Keyes served as a rallying call to rediscover our roots, to reaffirm the values that make America truly exceptional.
In the face of contemporary challenges, let us not forget the timeless wisdom encapsulated in our founding principles. America's greatness is not a bygone era; it's a promise waiting to be realized through a collective commitment to the principles that define us. It is my hope that this conversation sparks a renewed sense of reflection and, ultimately, action to restore the greatness of America by returning to the principles that make us who we are.
I’ve released two books that discuss these ideas in great detail. The first is Social Injustice: Exposing the False Gospel of the Social Justice Movement and the other is Church & State: How the Left Used the Church to Conquer America. Click here to order both of these books.

ONLY GOD CAN MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and He will only do do it for the same reason He did so initially.
America was once great but not for the reason most people believe it was. In fact, quite the opposite - a classic case of Isaiah 5:20, calling evil good and good evil.
Yahweh, God of the Bible, blesses nations (makes them great and prosperous) when they look to Him as their sovereign and thus His moral law as the standard for government and society, per Deuteronomy 4:4-8, 28:1-14, etc.
Consequently, America's greatness was the result of the 17th-century colonial governments of, by, and for God expressly stablished upon His unchanging moral law
Consider carefully Alexis de Tocqueville's testimony in his book "Democracy in America," written in 1835:
"They [the 17th-century Colonials] exercised the rights of sovereignty; they named their magistrates, concluded peace or declared war, made police regulations, and enacted laws as if their allegiance was due only to God. Nothing can be more curious and, at the same time more instructive, than the legislation of that period; it is there that the solution of the great social problem which the United States now presents to the world is to be found [in perfect fulfillment of Deuteronomy 4:5-8, demonstrating the continuing veracity of Yahweh's law and its accompanying blessings, per Deuteronomy 28:1-14].
"Amongst these documents we shall notice, as especially characteristic, the code of laws promulgated by the little State of Connecticut in 1650. The legislators of Connecticut begin with the penal laws, and … they borrow their provisions from the text of Holy Writ ... copied verbatim from the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy.…" (Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 2 vols. (New York: NY: The Colonial Press, 1899) vol. 1, pp. 36-37)
On the other hand, Yahweh curses nations who reject His sovereignty and replace His law with their own man-made surrogates, per Deuteronomy 28:15-68, etc.. Thus, America began to be cursed (by God's long suffering only incrementally at first) when the 18th-century constitutional framers replaced the 17th-century Colonial governments with their own humanistic government of, by, and for the people based upon capricious Enlightenment and Masonic traditions (aka the biblically seditious Constitution). In turn, this commenced America's suicidal trek to the precipice upon which she finds herself precipitously teetering.
