Michael Youssef calls America to return to its roots

What happens to a tree when its root system is destroyed? The tree can no longer access the nutrients it needs, and it begins to weaken. The leaves wilt, the branches droop, the fruit ceases to grow. Eventually, the tree dies.

America was formed and developed from biblical roots, but today our leaders chop away at our foundation. They deny the core of our purpose. They allow invasive roots to choke out the Truth. Yet what do Christians do? We cling tightly to the rotting fruit on the drooping branches, while underneath us the truth of our country's past and the hope for our present and future are being destroyed. Without the root system, there can be no fruit.

The secular thinkers of this country would like us to think our country was founded on humanistic values and ideals. They view our country's birth as a philosophical and political event. However, the original words from the colony charters, the Declaration of Independence, and early political speeches all point directly to our country's foundation upon the Christian faith and biblical Truth. Our Founding Fathers believed that this is a nation with its roots in the Bible.

Yes this is true. But today Americans are no longer on the same page of our Founders. There are so many 'Other' nations within our nation, and with this their religion, that they see America equally their's. They take the oath to support our constitution knowing well that even the leadership of our country does not support this. The oath means little today. I say this with great sadness as I see our country being destroyed and with it the foundation of Christianity it was built on. I do not see this coming back as long as our borders have no borders and the hordes come in like a waterfall. We see this in our churches as well...we have become a nation who has turned it's back on God and anything goes now.
