Jeremy Reynalds: MAGAZINE FOUNDER PUTS EVERYTHING ON THE LINE TO OBEY GOD: "Ewing said, "God birthed not only the name of a magazine, but the mission for our ministry: To equip and empower citizens with knowledge about the important cultural issues of our day in light of our nation's Christian heritage, and also, to provide a call to action for all Christian patriots to restore our nation's Christian foundation."
On the radio he said that reading the Bible had taught him that God not only dealt with humans, but nations as well. Is that compatible with the NT? It certainly reflects the "God's Chosen People" viewpoint, but is hard to justify with the NT, in my opinion.
He also said that reading American history (I chuckled here) had taught him that God had intervened at several points in our history because God had a specific purpose for creating the US:
As Ewing studied American history from original source documents, he discovered something important.
“I realized God has a divine purpose for the United States of America. The Founding Fathers acknowledged this and established our form of government and laws accordingly,” Ewing said. “However, recent generations have turned their backs on the God of the Bible-whom the Founders recognized as the source of all law and the giver of our freedom and prosperity-and our nation's historical record. Recent generations are instead using God's blessings upon America for selfish and licentious ends.”
Really? Original documents, you say? Primary sources reveal God's hand? Just how would those work? How would those documents reveal God's divine purpose? Oral interviews with the creator himself? Maybe some divine documents? I would love to hear the methodology on that.
This isn't history. It is national idolatry.

You've really got to stop listening to Christian talk radio.
