Explanation:
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a group of countries on the North Atlantic. These countries joined forces primarily to provide military assistance to each other in the event that Germany or the Soviet Union attacked one of the member countries. One of the main concerns people had about joining NATO was because the US was getting involved in foreign politics. This quote from George Washington best shows these concerns because he states that it is the nation's policy to keep away from any permanent alliances with other countries.
According to Edwards in "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," people can avoid going to hell by believing in God and turning from their wicked ways.
The preacher in his famous sermon said that sin was the reason why many people would go to hell, but that repentance, by believing in God would save them from eternal suffering.
By putting it as a matter-of-fact statement (assuming everything else was action packed) there is a massive shift that creates contrast in the piece and leaves a very concise point to shock/leave the reader with.
