The Rebirth of America

Written by Andrew Allison, given to me by my friend William Odom.

Today we have become a nation based upon a society of rule by man. The Constitution, once held in high esteem, is now often ignored, changed to meet the opinion of a judge, or considered outdated; whereas our Founders revered it and considered it a document written for the ages. In spite of the blessing accrued to the average American, many hate this nation's form of government and are dedicated to destroying it, while others are indifferent, apathetic, and could care less about its rapidly deteriorating condition. They seem to be materialistic and hedonistic with the attitude of letting George do it.

"The choice before us is plain, Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights and privileges as American citizens. The time has come; it now is, when we ought to hear about the duties and responsibilities of our citizenship. America's future depends upon her accepting and demonstrating God's government." (Peter Marshall, The Rebirth of America, page 205, 1986 Arthur S. DeMoss Foundation.)

I believe that earlier generations in America made mistakes, but nothing comparable to the betrayal and abandonment of the present one. We must reverse this trend if we are to survive as a free nation. It is our highest desire that the people of America will afford the time to read and study this book and implement the precepts in their personal lives and communities. It is still not too late to reverse the present trend but we must start now! "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was nor ever will be." Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Chas. Yancey, 1816, "The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World, Principles of Freedom."
