2nd Chronicles 7:13-14, "If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Pay close attention to the first part of the scripture, not so much the second part. Anyone care to take a guess at how many of those 3 conditions haven't been met yet?

This is proper teaching of the scriptures. There was a reason for why Solomon was given what is contained in verse 14; it's because of what's in verse 13!

It's too bad you'll never see the entire passage laid out before this disbelieving nation, a finger pointed at them and the accusation leveled. No one on a national stage has the courage.

Nope.

We're like spoiled children accustomed to being told how wonderful we are. Same reason for the dearth of preaching about sin, about Hell, about the need for true, Spirit-wrought repentance.

The cognitive dissonance between what we think we are, indeed where we think we are, and what and where we truly are spiritually tears asunder credulity's bonds.
