Where is God in American culture? In 1962 and 1963, the US Supreme Court removed prayer and Bible reading from American public schools. Although there was much in our culture at the time that would not have been godly, it seems that American culture began a rapid downward spiral.
In the same way that the Warren Court found a “separation of church and state” in the Constitution, in 1973 the Court found a right to abort our unborn children. We allowed “No-fault Divorce.” We legalized adultery and sodomy. We declared pornography to be freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
In the 1990s, Americans began to accept civil unions for homosexual couples. The new millennium brought a drive toward same-sex marriage. As of 2008, 26 states had passed constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage, but then, again, the US Supreme Court suddenly discovered a right to marry buried in the 228-year-old document that had never been seen there before. Don’t you think, if the Founders wanted a right to marry to be in the Constitution, they would have put it there so that everyone could see it?
Since the 2015 Obergefell decision, the culture now is pushing transgenderism and pedophilia. Gender dysphoria and pedophilia are no longer considered to be mental illnesses but normal sexual alternatives. A deteriorating national morality seems to be speeding toward a cataclysm of unspeakable destruction.
The question remains: In 1962 and 1963, when the Supreme Court removed prayer and the Bible from American public education, were we telling God that He was no longer welcome here? Does God still have a place in American culture? What do we need to do to get God and His Word back into the central place in America that He deserves?

In the early 1990s, Alex pioneered the Truth for a New Generation Conference designed to equip teens and adults to know what they believe and defend their faith. The conferences continue to be held and feature well-known and respected speakers such as Josh McDowell, Lee Strobel, Eric Metaxas, Todd Starnes, Joni Eareckson Tada, Will Graham, and many others.
