Will God Continue to Bless America?

Until the past few years, almost all Americans—and especially Presidents and candidates for President—firmly believed that America had earned God’s blessings. Now, secularists and even some Presidential candidates question this bedrock belief of religious Americans. The naysayers may unwittingly prove to be correct—if they are successful in imposing their secular agenda on the majority.

From the religious point of view, same-sex marriage and its public sanction of homosexuality will desecrate God’s name. On a much larger scale, it will also risk the loss of His blessings on the United States—so eloquently requested by President George Washington in his first Inaugural Address (1789):

“It would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official Act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides in the Councils of Nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect—that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes.”
