This sermon was preached by Pastor Nelson Turner of AV1611Reformation.com on the Lord's Day July 26, 2009. The title of the sermon reveals the topics discussed by Pastor Turner from the inspired word of God as found in the King James Bible (Authorized Version of 1611). The founding documents of the United States of America, and the spirit which helped to birth this nation - a spirit which has inspired not only American citizens but also people across the face of the earth ever since - would NOT have been possible if the founders of this great nation (which the Pastor reveals WAS a nation, but now bears little resemblance to the dictionary definition of what a nation is and ought to be) had not had the word of God in their hearts (or at least in their minds) as a result of their Christian beliefs and/or backgrounds. This fact CANNOT BE DISPUTED by any honest student of history and lover of truth. This sermon begins with a reading from the records of the "Civil War" relating the attitude of General William T. Sherman regarding the transformation of refugee slaves into fighting soldiers. A discussion of the honest use of racial labels, their origins, and the biblical truths underlying racial relations follows. The media-bred uproar caused by the behavior of Harvard professor of "Afro-American Studies" Gates following a lawful investigation and inquiry by Cambridge police officer Crowley of an apparent break-in at Gates's home, which was fueled and exploited for racial purposes by the President of the United States (who was by his own admission ignorant of the facts of the case when he chose to involve himself and his high office in it) is also discussed. Pastor Turner then outlines the challenges and tragedies of our time, which multiply in number and severity, and which have their direct cause in the fact that this country which was once a nation directed by Christian morals, values, and principles (as clearly found and easily understood in the King James Bible) has disgarded the Holy Bible, denied the Savior, and made for itself new gods, man-made idols, which have no power to save, no power to set men free of wicked bondage, no power to impart lasting joy and everlasting life. Liberty is from the Lord. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance." Can this "nation" still hope for His blessing given its direction? The blood of the innocent cries out for vengeance; abominations to God are becoming the law of the land; God's name is blasphemed constantly both deliberately and by indifferentism. America MUST read the King James Bible and consider what happens, what ALWAYS happens, to nations and peoples which do such things before the face of the Lord. Verses from the AV1611 King James Bible used in this sermon include: John1:4; 11:25; 5:26/ Leviticus 25:10/ Galatians 5:1; 2:20/ Psalms 119:45/ Isaiah 61:1/ Romans 8:21; 4:22/ 2 Corinthians 3:17/ James 1:25/ Job 5:17/ 1 Peter 4:14. This sermon was recorded using new equipment and glitches resulted in substandard quality. Still the message of Pastor Turner preaching from the inspired word of God comes through loud and clear to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. May it be a blessing unto God's Elect.
