USA—AT THE CROSSROADS (written 12-5-11)

be history——or make history
demise——or survive
throw away——or thrive
fade——or flourish

Not graphic enough, not shocking enough, bigger than the above, more at stake, much more required of US.

America, the USA, is now at a crossroads we have never faced before, and the choice is not even clear to most Americans. We are not at a “Y” in the road, with two gently diverging options, like just so many elections we’ve seen come and go in 236 years. No, we are at a “T” in the road, with two direct opposite paths 180 degrees apart. (A “T” in the road requires stopping, before you make a choice)

So, here are the crossroads options for the USA, in graphic contrast——

Please think about that for a moment before you read on.

For a decade I have been saying there is a death wish in Washington. It seems like caring about the real America is replaced by everything that’s bad for America, and more and more it seems intentional. I also saw the day was coming soon when the remaining restraints would be gone—the restraints holding back the euthanasia of America.

Legal euthanasia in medicine is debated, speculated, experimented, and becomes reality. Likewise, in Washington, the election of 2008 brought that about for the country. The death wish is now turned into the intentional, legal suicide of America.

“Changing America” won an election which may well be marked a point of no return. More and more credence is given to talk of fundamentally changing America, of doing away with capitalism, endorsing socialism, apologizing to our enemies, abandoning our heritage, and “choice” to continue the American Holocaust—the killing of babies and now even the killing of the family.

And how did we come to the point of relentlessly ridding God from all public life? Who let that happen? The Christian churches are almost unanimously silent about what is happening to our country at a rate that rivals blitzkrieg. That’s not how we got started, and that’s not how we will save our country.

The Black Robed Regiment led the American Revolution, by inspiring US with Biblical truths of life, freedom, capitalism, God-pleasing and God-inspired government. That was Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon they applied their sermons by leading militia training. Thank God we didn’t have the courts and cowards we have today.

These preachers were feared most by King George, because he could not defeat them, and that is why we won, with God’s blessing. And that’s not all.

Decades before the Revolution, we had an enduring revival called a Great Awakening. And that’s not all.

Decades before the end of slavery, we had an enduring revival called a Great Awakening. And that’s not all.

Decades before winning the World Wars, we had an enduring revival called a Great Awakening. IS THAT ALL?

Many of God’s people are praying right now for an enduring revival.

God, wake us up.

God, wake me up. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
