Plucking the Eagle's Wings

Clipping the Wings of the Eagle

My mother accepted the communist doctrine when I was about ten years old and, from that time on, there were socialist and communist study group meetings in the basement of our Baltimore home. I was taught that, because there was no God, there was no such thing as right or wrong. My mother told me it was better to be a homosexual than to be a Christian. She taught me that the most important things in life were the physical pleasures of drink, food and sex. For many years I lived the life I was taught. I drank a quart of vodka a day and by the time I was thirty, I had been married twice. I lived only to eat, drink and have what I thought was sexual pleasure. But a time came when the women and the booze no longer gave me the happiness that my atheist mother told me they would bring. I was consuming so much alcohol that it no longer got me high. I started using marijuana and other drugs to supplement the alcohol which had betrayed me." (Source: www.wjmurray.com 9-25-2000) William J. Murray, who is now a Christian minister, was a young boy attending public school when his mother set out to remove prayer and Bible reading from public schools in 1959. Her lawsuit, Murray vs. Curlett, was finally heard in court on February 27, 1963. On June 17, 1963, the Supreme Court ruled in O'Hair's favor and reverential Bible reading and prayer were expelled from America's public schools. I wondered later, "How could one woman accomplish this?" I questioned, "Where was the outcry from Christians who believed in Bible reading and prayer? After all, Christians were the majority or were they?" Christian reaction was downright anemic. They complained and criticized the decision, but few attempted to challenge it. Since God was expelled from public schools, thousands of court battles have occurred with the sole purpose of erasing every object, phrase, and symbol of Christianity from America. This decision has put America into a spiritual war zone, essentially separating it from its covenant protection with God. When you are in covenant with God, your enemies are His enemies. An example of God removing a hedge of protection is found in Job 1:10-12. Since 1963, the enemy of God and America has certainly attacked! The Legacy of Breaking America's Spiritual Covenant
