When the Christian does not transform his or her life on a daily basis it can only go backwards and the results can never be good. There are many reasons as to the "why" a Christian does not go through the new life transformational process and never reaps the benefits of the new creation in Christ. When it comes down to the main reason I find it has to do with the individual reaction to the Word of God as the parable of the Sower, in three of the four Gospels, clearly explains.

The reason people never find fulfillment in their lives, including Christians, has to do with not fully being inwardly complete. For the one who has not reconciled with God through Jesus Christ in the born-again experience, the enormous inward emptiness grows with time reaching a level of deep hopelessness. Nothing can fully satisfy, and life becomes more and more shallow.

Many in the black community are waking others up by removing the blindfolds to be able to see and understand the reality of the slavery they find themselves in by following the wrong voices. The ugliness of internal sin is where all evil takes place. We will never succeed in the external social problems until we deal with the root cause-SIN.

Could the blacks have been set free without the loss of life between the states? Most definitely and here is why: William Wilberforce (1759 -1833), the English Antislavery politician. Was a committed evangelical Christian whose political views were very conservative, and he devoted most of his parliamentary career to the abolition of the slave trade and slavery in England.  He also campaigned for legislation to prohibit the worst forms of child labor. The healing of the races could have been achieved instead of the scars that have been so hard to heal even with the passage of time.

There is a solution to the race problem and it will be fulfilled in time and history. Was the war between the States motivated by the abolition of slavery or preserving the Union? There are two different views for the real reasons for the War Between the States from 1861 to 1865. The most common and accepted one is to liberate blacks from slavery in the South. The other perspective was the expansion of the tariffs, government power, the loss of states sovereignty, and other factors to keep the south from seceding from the union.

American slavery was not in alignment with Biblical slave laws and God's desire for liberty for all mankind. This inconsistency produced an institution that proved too difficult to gradually and peacefully abolish. Thomas
 Jefferson was opposed to slavery yet he thought that once the slaves gained freedom, a peaceful coexistence of whites and blacks would be very difficult to maintain. Jefferson predicted that if the slaves were freed and lived in America, deep-rooted prejudices would divide the nation. He failed to see that with God all things are possible.

In time, the view of slavery changed and most of America's Founders thought slavery would gradually be abolished. Roger Sherman (Roger Sherman was an early American lawyer and politician, as well as a Founding Father of the United States.) said that "the abolition of slavery seemed to be going on in the U.S. and that the good sense of the several states would probably by degrees complete it." However, succeeding generations did not have the character and worldview necessary to complete the task started by the Founders. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

After independence the American Founders actually took steps to end slavery. As a whole they probably did more than any group of national leaders up until that time in history to deal with the evils of slavery. They took steps toward liberty for the enslaved and believed that the gradual march of liberty would continue, ultimately resulting in the complete death of slavery. The ideas they infused such as Creator endowed rights and the equality of all men before the law eventually prevailed and slavery was abolished. But not without great difficulty because the generations that followed failed to carry out the gradual abolition of slavery in America.

The Northwest Ordinance (1787, 1789), which governed the admission of new states into the union from the then northwest territories, forbid slavery. Thus, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa all prohibited slavery. Although no Southern state abolished slavery, there was much anti-slavery sentiment. Many anti-slavery societies were started, especially in the upper South. Georg Washington, set his slaves free, making provision for their well being. Following independence, “Virginia changed her laws to make it easier for individuals to emancipate slaves”. These are facts that must be known.

The Founding Fathers believed that blacks had the same God-given inalienable rights as any other peoples. James Otis of Massachusetts said in 1764 that, "The colonists are by the law of nature freeborn, as indeed all men are, white or black." There had always been free blacks in America who owned property, voted, and had the same rights as other citizens. Most of the men who gave us the Declaration and the Constitution wanted to see slavery abolished.

Even though America’s slavery is in relation to the black people it is far from being the case throughout human history. We find slavery in all civilizations. How did blacks from Africa end up in the new continent? According to Hugh Thomas author of the book "The Slave Trade," about 11,328,000 Africans were transported to the new world. About 4 million went to Brazil, 2.5 million to Spanish colonies, 2 million to the British West Indies, 1.6 million to the French West Indies, and 500,000 went to what became the United States of America. Few people know the role Muslims played in the slave trade.

About The Future of America

We want to help restore America's original foundation in biblical Christian principles which made it the most powerful and prosperous nation in the world in a relatively short time but America has not reached it full potential. Ideas have consequences and they are passed on from generation to generation. To eradicate error, the moral and ethical principles of the Bible must be firmly established in the hearts and minds of each individual. If America is going to survive, its citizens must become re-acquainted with its history, heritage and biblical immovable principles and apply them once again to all areas of life. We hope this program will inspire and challenge you so together we can fulfill our responsibility before God and country to make the difference for our generation many generations to come.
