Building Godly Nations

Jesus commissioned believers to “make disciples of all nations ” which according to Bible commentator Matthew Henry means to “do your utmost to make the nations Christian nations.” How do we make the nations Christian? How do we build Godly nations? The Bible teaches that if people obey Gods laws they will have liberty peace prosperity and justice. But we must obey all that Jesus taught to experience the abundance of Gods blessing. The Founders of America understood this vital truth and attempted to build the nation upon the precepts of God and though not without fault their efforts produced the best example of a Christian nation in history. Thus there are many important lessons we can learn from the American Founders as we seek to build Godly nations today. This book examines the mandate for building Godly nations lessons from Americas Christian history and how to apply Biblical principles to governing the nations. Chapters include: 1.
