Many people have become convinced that God is not involved with or interested in the civil arena. They think politics is separate from their spiritual life because they have heard about separation of church and state. There is a misconception that the First Amendment to the Constitution talks about this separation, but it doesn’t. In fact, there is no such thing as “separation of church and state” in any of our official government documents. Since the founders didn’t address this in the Constitution or the First Amendment, it clearly was not their intent for American society.

The First Amendment states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….”

America is the most successful nation in the history of the world. We are the longest ongoing constitutional republic, and it’s not because we were founded on secular, or worldly principles. In fact, if you research our Constitution, it’s amazing to see how many biblical principles it contains. America has been blessed because the Founding Fathers took godly principles and put them into our founding documents, choosing many of their ideas from Two Treatises of Civil Government by John Locke. It cites the Bible more than 1500 times to show the proper operation of civil government.
