American exceptionalism is rooted in the idea that individual rights come from God and the government is only in place to preserve and protect those rights. But America’s losing sight of that concept. America’s turning into a country where the government grants rights and privileges to only those the government deems worthy—and takes them from those it deems unworthy. This is not how the Founding Fathers envisioned the nation; this is not how the concept of inalienable rights coming from a Creator works. Rather, this is how Marxism, communism, and collectivism spread.

If we want a nation that’s free for generations to come, then we must reclaim the notion of God-given and ditch the idea of government-granted. The only way to do that is for Americans of faith to rise up and inject biblical values and godly principles into government, culture, and society, and put God once again at the center. It’s time to demand the God-given—or the great American experiment will come to an end.
