Great post worth bookmarking, Alex.

"It may be that today gold has become the exclusive ruler of life, but the time will come when man will again bow down before a higher god." -- Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf" (with apologies to Irving)

As Calvinists we need to keep things in perspective. When the people of God have fail in their obedience to God, as has happened over and over in scripture, God brings calamity and judgment upon His people. Often, as we saw with the judges the people would cry out, God would rescue them only to have them fall back into their old ways. While the new covenant with the Holy Spirit is more perfect then the old, it is still not perfect. Redeemed man is set free to be obedient to God, but quite frankly, we squander the magnificent opportunities God gives to us as Christians.

It is God who raise up nations and make them fall for His own divine reason. If this great nation falls to the ruinous hands of liberal atheists, then it is because Christians have been unfaithful to God and it is God's will-not man's. Fighting against this tide will not help us win this battle. We need to have God fighting for us. This requires us to acknowledge and confess our sins and move forward to whatever lies ahead, accepting it as God's plan for our lives.

I, for one, do not plan on sitting back and waiting for the liberals to destroy this country. It is our divine duty to fight for those things that are right and true. However, if that is God's will that we pass into shadow, then so be it. Without getting into an eschatological discussion, there is ample evidence that society is devolving and an indication that the Lord's return is soon. This may simply be another sign of this happening.
