Synopsis
Excerpt from National Sins: A Fast-Day Sermon; Preached in the Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C., Wednesday, November 21, 1860
In conformity with these principles, we recognize Chris tianity to-day as the religion of our Commonwealth. Our standard of right is that eternal law which God proclaimed from Sinai, and which Jesus expounded on the Mount. We recognize our responsibility to Jesus Christ. He is head over all things to the Church, and the nation that will not serve Him is doomed to perish. Before men we are a free and sovereign State; before God we are dependent subjects and one of the most cheering omens of the times is the heartiness with which this truth has been received. We are a Christian people, and a Christian Commonwealth. As on the one hand we are not Jews, Infidels or Turks, so on the other, we are not Presbyterians, Baptists, Episc0pa lians, or Methodists. Christianity, without distinction of sects, is the fountain of our national life. We accept the Bible as the great moral charter by which our laws must be measured and the Incarnate Redeemer as the Judge to whom we are responsible.

National Sins: A Fast-Day Sermon (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical complexities of government and the dangers posed when a nation strays from its moral principles. The author provides a historical context for the role of Christianity in the formation of the United States, arguing that the nation's current struggles are rooted in its departure from those principles. Through an examination of the concept of the "higher law," the book explores the tension between individual conscience and collective responsibility, particularly in the context of slavery and the division of the nation. The author emphasizes the crucial role of good faith, integrity, and adherence to the rule of law in maintaining a just and stable society. Ultimately, this book offers a profound meditation on the importance of morality and the consequences of abandoning it in the pursuit of power and self-interest.
