Well, one thing we know is that one can’t baptize the USA into Christ. It has to get there one soul, one acceptance, at a time. And straying Christians have to be corrected one soul at a time.
I guess I am simple minded. Like a child coming into the kingdom would be. I don’t want to jawbone about theory for the intellectual satisfaction of it, or the moral feeling of being better than all those sinners. I just want to see, and share, what can be done to help spread goodness and displace evil.
The wickedness is a symptom of an issue of eternal dimensions. I don’t want a civic Christ to save public morals. I want an “everything” Christ to save souls to heaven, and if public morals improve as a result (and I’d hope they would)... it will be a wonderful testimony to God’s grace.

True...after all God raises up and puts down the nations. Psalms 2 describes the various rulers taking “council together “through-out history to conspire against God and His anointed...and don’t think they aren’t doing it in this day and age as well. The current rulers and the secret elites sneer at God and his children. Psalm 2 says God will dash them like a “potter’s vessel”. Yet we see the plea to the individual in Psalm 2...”Kiss the son, lest you be destroyed before he has gotten just a little angry!”
God is our first country; Christians can’t help our currently hapless nation until we fully remember and understand that!
