Dr. Foreman

It depends On what you mean by the question. God is the Ruler of all nations, and Judge of them all. But some nations have been far more conscious of the true God and obedient to Him than other nations have.

God’s' Name on Paper GOD CAN be mentioned often; yet not count for very much in a nation. For instance, His name can be on the money, it cap be in the state ceremonies, it can be in the constitution, or if there is no constitution, the monarch may 6e said to rule “by divine right.’’ But such things may be no better than formal. The money .can pass from wicked hand to wicked hand, it can bje used for godless purposes by men who do not have God in all their thoughts. The name of God in public ceremonies (such as oaths of office) or in the constitution may mean no more than decorative designs on, a letter-head. The king ruling by “divine” right may be a cruel and corrupt man. > Religious-sounding songs, such as “God Bless America”, or “God Save the King”, can be sung by rascals. No, God in a nation's lift must be more than a name on paper; 'green or white. God in Great Men BEGINS to get into the life: of a nation when He gets into the lives of pebple. It is not disparaging the common man to point out the plain fact that as between one believer in God who is obscure, and another who is prominent and powerful, the latter means more in the long-run life of a nation. It w r as so in the era That was a time of religious confusion, just as it is today. Doubtless there were many humble persons at that time who had a living faith, but if it had not ; been for the nation of Israel would never have been a natioh, but would have shrunk back into the ruck of little no-account tribes; never to be heard from-again. When we hear that even Moses’ own brother was so stupid or. bad as to lead the people in worshipping a gold-plated calf, we can' imagine what the \ masses of the people were like. If the United States and Can- V ada can be tailed Christian nations today, it Is because we can point to men on both sides of the line who have been not only high-calibre, influential men, but also men not ashamed of their faith in God. An American congressman who is respected by friends and opponents alike, has said it is more important to him tq know what God wants than what his constituents want. Most governors of states profess religion; and some of the best of them practice it. What America would have been without such men, one can only tguess; certainly far worse than it is. • • • God in Laws and Lives Z**oD CAN also be in a nation’s laws. It is true, we cannot run a- modern nation or municipality oh the laws of Leviticus, and riobody wants to, not even the preachers and rabbis. Still, the laws of a land either reflect the will of God or they do not, So far as the laws of a nation are in line with the teachings and truth of Christ, so far God is (n the life of that nation. But the question is not finally: What do the laws prescribe, but do the people respect the laws? God does not get deeply into the life of a nation until He gets intp the homfes of high and low alike.. If the nation of, Israel ever became godly, they had Moses to thank; yet he himself wasunder no illusions as to the people he left behind him. “I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you.” (Deut. 31: 29.) It took centuries of toil and patience on the part of God and His, \prophets to change Israel from a nation mostly indifferent to Gbd, to a people mostly God-fearing; and the change took place only 'as homes changed. , Is ours ■ Christian nation today? The answer is not. in our constitution, not in our leading men, not in our history or laws or traditions; the answer is in our homes. When the cry goes up ‘.'Back to God!” the place' to start back, and the place that counts most, is our homes. . {Copyright 1851 by the Division of Christinn Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United ' States of America.
