A nation cannot be right with God if it does not acknowledge God.
A nation cannot be blessed by God if it does not trust in God.
A nation cannot trust in God if its people do not spend time with God.
A national altar is where the leader and the people bow before God to repent of sin and acknowledge His sovereignty and accept His direction in everything.
We cannot truly have a national altar without a God-pleasing church altar.
We cannot have a church altar without a family altar at home.
We cannot have a family altar without a heart altar, where each person spends time with God daily, reading the Bible and praying.
In this country we had all that from the start, and for hundreds of years.
IN GOD WE TRUSTED
GOD BLESSED AMERICA

But now . . .
–
IN EVIL WE TRUST
EVIL DESTROYS AMERICA
We have come from: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”
To: “The wicked shall be turned into hell—and all the nations that forget God.”

So, can the United States of America turn back from precariously plunging over the cliff of calamity?
Yes!
How?
I just now edited this article to make everything singular instead of plural.
The heart—my heart—your heart—one heart at a time changes and turns to God in repentance and surrender—heart altar.
Then the family—one family at a time worships God together in the home, and becomes the most powerful force for good, for change, in the world—because God honors what pleases Him—family altar.
Then the church—one preacher at a time—returns to the secret that made America great within a half century of our beginning—“pulpits aflame with righteousness”—church altar.
Then we can again have a national altar—with leaders who call the people to national days of prayer and repentance and humbly pleading with God to restore our trust in Him and our God-Blessed land.
“In the end, the state of the Union comes down to the character of the people. … I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, and it was not there. I sought for it in the fertile fields, and boundless prairies, and it was not there. I sought it in her rich mines, and vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.”—–Alexis de Tocqueville, French historian
(Word of acknowledgment to Daddy for emphasizing the national altar depending on the church altar, the family altar, and in turn the heart altar.)
