# 1 > In America, our political and even judicial leaders often look for "guidance" about big problems almost everywhere else except consulting the Holy Bible__the inspired Word of God. Yet, we claim to be a "Christian" nation. We have on our coins and bills, "In God We Trust." Sadly, instead of obeying God, rebellious human beings seem ever more intent on "playing God" __taking upon themselves the judgment of what is right and what is wrong. The Bible itself tells us through Jesus Christ__the very Son of God: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God" ( LUKE 4:4 ). The Bible is often referred to as the "mind of God" in print. For it is the big Picture principles of the way God thinks__the way the Creator thinks. That is why Jesus Christ told us to live by every word of God!
2. Overturning Millennia of History?
In the discussion of the "same-sex" marriage issue recently before the Supreme Court, one of the justices began his comments by "discussing the rituals of the Kalahari people, an African tribe descended from ancient lineage, who never recognized same-sex unions as a form of marriage. His point was that marriage had until recently always been tied to childbearing. "This definition has been with us for millennia, he told Mary Bonauto, the attorney for same-sex couples. And it's very difficult for the court to say, "Oh, well, we know better " Yet, that is exactly what the Supreme Court has essentially done. They have tried to overrule some 6,000 years of human history__overrule the whole concept that marriage is about child-rearing and family. They are even trying to overrule the Supreme Court Heaven__Almighty God Himself! What on earth do they think they are doing? And why do they refuse to consult the One who instituted marriage in the first place: Almighty God?
3. - Why will they never consult the Bible, the inspired Word of the one true God, which gives us instruction on every basic topic affecting our relationships with God and one another? Why is the Bible nearly always "left out" in such discussions? What have we, as a purporting Christian nation, actually come to when most people refuse to even consider what the Bible says? Meanwhile, "What happened to the Bible?" Many of you probably realize that the Bible has been under an absolute assault for the last several decades. Liberals, communists and secular humanists have squirmed their way into leadership positions in many of the mainstreams Protestant churches and even the seminaries. They bring in a concept that you cannot be sure of what the Bible actually says. You cannot be sure that the manuscript the Bible is based upon was inspired by God. You cannot be sure of this or that. "So," they say, "let's just let human reason decide"! This is the concept of the secularist approach of people who do not have the fear of God or any deep respect for the Word of God.
Think!
What has always happened to any nation that has turned away from God and the laws of God? Many historians recognize that ancient Greece__which permitted homosexuality and other abominable practices to exist__went "down the tubes" as a result of its moral decay, which led to further decay, such that it is no longer a power in the world or example to other nations.9
