Just read a good article about the importance of a biblical foundation has had on our country. I would suggest you read the article to see how the author lays out his argument.
The most intriguing aspect of his article is how he adeptly argues that a democracy without a spiritual grounding is doomed to failure. We are seeing the slow decline of our culture as an ethic grounded in Scripture and God's providence is replaced with a secular humanist worldview the is based upon "rights" that somehow appeared without any grounding in God.
Christianity is first and foremost about God doing for man what he could not do for himself. Jesus came and died for all who would believe in His death on the Cross as our substitute. Along with that faith in Him, God calls us to live responsibly, provide for our family, care for those in need, and to love our neighbor.
This is the kind of article that should serve as a reminder to all believers that our worldview must be shaped by Scripture. Once we let other influences be the primary filter of how we view the world, we will slide into an ethical pit from which we can never recover.
