Rev Rod Cannon Religious Analysis

171 Words1 Page

Rev Rod Cannon makes a plea to God of thanksgiving and blessing for certain people in our nation. Rev Cannon starts out his prayer by thanking God for the government. Although the government is not where we want it to be today, we she be thankful for it. Without the government, America would be a completely lost nation. We would lose the principle, attributes, and foundations in which our founding fathers established. Everything that America, Americans, and the world has is because of God. Thus, we should be thankful for the establishment of a government for America. Later on Rev Rod Cannon’s plea, he asks God for our nation to be prosperous and pleasing again. He sees that America is not still “one nation under God,” so he prays that

    Along with the miracle of the revolutionary war, the founding of America was no-doubt led by divine assistance. After the revolutionary war, many people suggested that Washington should be king of this new country. But, Washington politely refused because of his public interest and unselfishness, knowing that monarchies often lead to corruption by those lacking in selflessness and integrity. To avoid this, he and many other people organized this revolutionary country with checks and balances to keep the radical in place but allow needful changes to be made.

  • Pledge Of Allegiance Essay

    1586 Words  | 7 Pages

    On June 14, 1953 — Flag Day — President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law a contentious modification to a 60 year old tradition: the phrase “under God” was to be inserted into the Pledge of Allegiance. Supporters of the bill claimed that its passage would make the Pledge more consistent with America’s tradition of faith and spirituality. This appears to be a contradiction: how can changing the Pledge make it more traditional? President Eisenhower wrote that the phrase would serve to “remind [us] of the spiritual and moral principles [...] upon which our way of life is founded”. This exemplifies a key tactic used by those Christians who called for substantial changes to the incorporation of religion in America’s public schools: the appeal

  • The Constitution: Betrayal Of The American Revolution

    1106 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Constitution—the foundation of the American government—has been quintessential for the lives of the American people for over 200 years. Without this document America today would not have basic human rights, such as those stated in the Bill of Rights, which includes freedom of speech and religion. To some, the Constitution was an embodiment of the American Revolution, yet others believe that it was a betrayal of the Revolution. I personally believe that the Constitution did betray the Revolution because it did not live up to the ideals of the Revolution, and the views of the Anti-Federalists most closely embodied the “Spirit of ‘76.” During the midst of the American Revolution, authors and politicians of important documents, pamphlets, and slogans spread the basis for Revolutionary ideals and defined what is known as the “Spirit of ‘76”.

  • Richard Baxter The Reformed Pastor Analysis

    1619 Words  | 7 Pages

    A short critique - “The Reformed Pastor” by Richard Baxter Richard Baxter’s writings on the “The Reformed Pastor” is a wake up call to every shepherd of the flocks to examine their soul’s condition and their flocks as well. So, the minister, coming into ministry with much infirmity, has before him a great responsibility and yet difficult office to undertake and to accomplish. Every minister’s success in accomplishing God ordained duties and responsibilities depends on the thoroughness of his examination of his own soul – “It is most necessary, therefore, that men of so much infirmity should take heed to themselves, and be careful in the oversight of their own souls.” While he takes care of his own soul diligently, the same way he needs to care for his flocks welfare – soul’s betterment. Richard Baxter’s writing had been a humble yet an authoritative call to reform ministers’ actions and live their lives as if the souls of his flock depend on his actions.
