ACKNOWLEDGING GOD IN THE DECISIONS OF STATE
initiates the discussion about governmental judgment and decision-making.
This book discusses specific policy processes that are a direct consequence of failure to acknowledge God. ACKNOWLEDGING GOD IN DECISIONS OF STATE is addressed primarily to Christians.
To Christians the message of this book is that if you have been called by God to governance, you can do so without compartmentalizing your faith in Christ or wandering off into the land of secular reasoning about that which God has declared sacred. You can give God honoring response to the issues of life, responses that lead to restoration rather than futile repetition of error. You can do so because God has already said to you in His word, Come, Let us reason together! You have answered in the affirmative. The evidence is your salvation.
To Non-Christians who happen to venture upon this book, the message is quite simple. The consequences of failing to ACKNOWLEDGE GOD of the Holy Bible are empirically detectable. I dare you to explore the evidence for yourself. *** In the Old Testament the presence of wandering is depicted as a judgment from God. Wandering still is. It is a permitted judgment against our increased tolerance for that which is intolerable to God. The consequence of such wandering manifests itself in the form of instability, incoherence, inattentiveness---symptoms writ large as we diverge from the biblically prescribed task of securing justice, loving mercy, and walking in humility with God. As a nation, we have become derailed from our spiritual train of thought because of a critical shift of the gaze---not only away from God but a gaze to other gods by virtue of ingesting a secular way or reasoning that includes a number of fallacious supports. Acknowledging God in the Decisions of State, takes you on a tour through the irreverent and irrational labyrinth that is our current state of affairs.
These topics in our discussion will be your analytical markers along the way. ----Seeing A Nation Distant from God, Our Prodigal Society ----Decoding the Pattern of Futility in Derivative Thought ----Examining Secularized Assumptions ----Examining Secularized Responses ----Addressing Four Quadrants of Problem Definition and Implementation ----Offering Real Hope by Consulting God ----Recognizing Providential Opportunities for the Exercise of Biblical Statesmanship [Revised Edition]
