What has happened to America? What has eaten away at
her Christian foundation? What has rotted the moral pillars that once
lifted her to greatness? Why are her liberties being trampled, her
fairness pushed aside and her honesty crushed? Why has political
correctness replaced truth? Why have her schools and universities been
corrupted by radical teachings, and her government controlled by those who
govern with selfish intent, outright dishonesty and ungodliness?
What, indeed, has happened? Is America collapsing due to any
one political party, movement or person? No! What has happened is a lethal
combination of self-importance (pride), an ugly disdain for Christianity, and a
hatred for God! Alarmingly, these characteristics are becoming quite apparent as
they are being acted upon in every section of society from the White House, to
churches, to our neighborhoods, to us!
Biblical principles are being discarded like yesterday’s
trash. His Word besmirched! Many churches are becoming entertainment centers,
and God’s Word is being altered to pacify the masses! God, once the underpinning
of this nation, has been deemed non-existent, or, at best, an impersonal ‘higher
power’, and all of creation simply evolved. With a ruling government that
rejects God and His Word, and with a steadily growing populace that wants it
that way, America is deteriorating! Old Glory may still wave, but America’s
glory has been greatly tainted!
Mankind seeks to reside in a world blind to sin; to live
without any distinction between right and wrong; to live in a world without God!
In Luke 17:26-33 it is clearly revealed that the conditions of both Noah’s and
Lot’s days will be repeated during the last days. Don’t ignore the obvious! Dare
to look around! People were involved in self-gratification, with no thought
given to God! Violence was rampant, wickedness flourished, homosexuality thrived
and God’s judgment fell! (Jude 1:7-8) So, too, will God’s fury be unleashed on
today’s godless world!
America, The Beautiful, has had her beauty tarnished by her
very own people. Daily news provides horrifying proof of this reality! In
disbelief I listened to the announcement that 15 year old girls can now obtain
the ‘morning after’ pill, without parental consent, over the counter.
Heart-sick, I cried when I heard of the hideous murders of innocent living,
breathing infants at the hands of an abortion doctor. With sadness I shake my
head at mankind’s escalating sexual wantonness, and was stunned when America’s
President made national news for congratulating an athlete for declaring his
sexual preference! But comforting peace is always within when armed with the
knowledge that God is at the helm! “And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus..”
(Philippians 4:7)
Every believer should pray for our country, while fully
understanding, without fear, that America, along with the rest of the world, is
fulfilling long ago divinely inspired last day Bible prophecy. Believers, be
saddened for America, but shed tears for the unbelievers and be driven by love
and compassion to warn of God’s approaching wrath (Tribulation Period) and of
eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire. (Revelation 21:8) Witness to the lost,
and clearly present the reality of the Cross! Explain Jesus’s victory over
death, and boldly explain the hope of eternal salvation. Be not alarmed by our
country’s decline, but be firmly committed to leading souls to Christ and away
from eternal damnation. "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
(unbelievers) was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:15)
Unbelievers, “… if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved:” (Romans 10:9-10)
America is in a downward spiral, but with the Lord on our
side, our only way is up! (Hebrews 13:6)
