America glorifies murder and violence on the screen—yet we decry killing when it spills over onto the news in real life.
America perpetuates the murder of babies—yet we exonerate and pay those who do the killing.
America makes a deal that leaves American Christians in Iranian prisons—yet makes a big deal trade for an American traitor.
American leaders advocate taking guns from Americans—yet endorse giving bombs to Iranians.
America knows our enemies can easily plunge us back 200 years instantly with assorted weapons on our infrastructure—yet we continue to live with total dependence on all our electronic technology going on forever.
America is racing to doomsday—yet we can’t get off.
America cozies up to the deadly vipers of terrorism—yet we turn our back on Israel in dead silence, in fatal silence, fatal to them and us, in spite of warnings from their leader before the whole world.
America fears the collapse of our fragile finances—yet we steadfastly stick to stashing our resources and hopes in the kingdom of Babylon.
American Christians will not repent of our sins in synch with Sodom—yet we broadcast cries for revival without “bringing fruit demonstrating repentance”.
In America, how many Christians today, right now, are changing their ways, sacrificing to the point of discomfort, to the point of suffering, by choice, to get right with God, to meet all the requirements of II Chronicles 7:14?
In America, until we who name the name of Jesus, see and turn from wicked ways in ourselves, individually and as His people together, God will continue to not hear, not forgive, not heal our land.
In America, the number one Biblical indictment of the church today is, “He went away sad, because he had great possessions”. I have heard that real life story waved off by American church leaders for decades, with “Jesus isn’t really saying WE should sell everything and give it to the poor and follow Him (just the one guy He was talking to then)”. How will we fare when it is taken away from us by force, by government, by collapse, by terrorism?
In America, financial advice given to American Christians does not apply to anyone without a portfolio or to Christians around the world. So, who is out of the will of God, clearly and repeatedly laid out in the Bible?
America has been the exception to the rule historically, clearly blessed by God, because we trusted Him and declared that trust publicly.
America will not be the exception to the rule historically as justified judgment falls on a nation that forgets God.
And, the unrepentant church will not be exempt.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked.
Whatever a man (or nation) sows, that shall he also reap.”
“The wicked shall be turned into hell;
And all the nations that forget God.”
Better to sound the severe warnings of God while we have freedom.
Better to repent while we have time.
Busy, Busy, Busy
Each of us is so busy it becomes an end in itself to keep everything spinning in our own world—no time to stop and pray and read our Bibles, and let God examine our hearts and turn us.
“Be Still, And Know That I AM God.”
