On Fire For God Jim Dickson

This Commentary is based on the Founding Fathers' belief in a Creator. For 200 years a majority attended church, children sang "This is my father's world," and adults responded with "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." They believed it was God's world and He was the source of all blessings. This has dramatically changed. Aided by mass communications; big business, government, high tech, and education have used modern technology to influence thought and action away from God's plan. Materialism replaced spirituality. The commandment to "love God and your neighbor" has changed to "ignore God and fault your neighbor." Many believe our lust for power, prosperity, and pleasure is so strong today it cannot be reversed. This Commentary believes otherwise but it will require the quality of leadership exhibited by our Founding Fathers, a quality rarely seen today. On Fire For God uses the wisdom of the Founders and biblical principles to go on the attack as did Jesus when He said, "I came to cast fire on the earth" and "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Controlled fire, as when heating, cooking, lighting, and melting to purify, can be a powerful positive force to remove the dross from our lives to provide the leadership needed to return to God's plan for our nation.
