Is This A Nation Under God?, Part A | John MacArthur

Our Lord said, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, pick up his cross and follow Me.” The church of Jesus Christ, of course, is the assembly of His followers. That’s why we’re here, we follow Him. The message that the Lord has laid upon my heart this morning will be a sobering message, I am quite confident. It certainly has been for me to try to process this over the last week as I thought about it.
There is now in the flag salute of our nation a statement, “One nation under God,” that was added to the flag salute in 1954. The question is, “Is this a nation under God?” We know that’s what the founding fathers intended, and not just any God, but the God of Scripture. Nations are obligated to worship the true God. Did you hear what I just said? They’re obligated to worship the true God, and there are dire circumstances that will come upon them if they fail to do that. I want to show you that.
