The idea that a "wall of separation" should forever divide church and state, even religious faith and public policy, is a reigning dictum in current American thought. This notion has been repeated so often by the proponents of secular culture that it has become, for many Americans, an unquestionable truth. The time has come to question it. The separation of church and state, as it is commonly understood today, was not a prevailing doctrine among the framers of the U.S. Constitution, argues Rene de Visme Williamson. Williamson's research into the religious views of the constitutional framers and the positions they articulated during the Philadelphia convention reveals that the majority of the framers regarded Biblical truth and American public philosophy as inseparable. What they sought in the First Amendment, he discovered, was not the separation of church and state, but the independence of church and state. There is a world of difference between those two notions. "The evidence shows that the majority, both numerical and effective, of the delegates at the Philadelphia Convention were committed Christians and that practically all the rest were Deists," Williamson writes. He points out that the Christians and Deists who participated in that convention held in common three politically important religious convictions: 1) God rules the world and guides peoples and their governments with His providence. 2) Morality is rooted in religion and cannot long survive without it. 3) Political stability and strength depend on morality, and nowhere more so than in a constitutional republic. "In the light of these convictions," Williamson writes, "the framers would have been shocked by the modern idea that government can be neutral toward its own foundation."

The title of this study, Whom Alone We Worship And Serve, is taken from "A Brief Statement of Faith" and serves as a constant reminder that the subject of these lessons is not an impersonal abstraction, but the Triune God - a living person to whom we properly respond with worship, service and love. The goal of this study is to help participants grow in their knowledge of what Scripture and the Church have said about God and thereby grow in the knowledge of Him.

Whom Alone We Worship And Serve

Mills, Robert P.

The desire for this journey through the Bible is to break out of a daily routine of not living for God as we ought and not knowing that Scripture is where we get to know God and ourselves. Basically, it is a desire for God:   As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God (Psalm 42:1).  The cost of this journey is time and effort. The precious commodity of time might be dearer to some of us than money. However, there is another cost for this trip through the Word of God. It demands discipline. It calls for focus. It is work.   Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth (II Timothy 2:15).  The plan for this journey is a systematic, book-by-book jaunt through the entire Bible. Over 52 weeks, Genesis through Revelation will be covered by means of teaching, reading, memorizing, praying, applying and sharing the unique contribution of every section of Scripture. Assignments will be given every week encouraging a daily focus on each portion of the Bible. This makes The Journey a year-long excursion into meditating upon the Word of God.   Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long (Psalm 119:97)
