The battle this nation is in right now is not Political. Is is Spiritual.
I guessed it long ago. Seriously, what is the end result of 200 million sinners who vote? It ain't good.
Rome survived Caligula and Nero.
I am not sure the U.S. will survive Obama.
Obama has help from our worthless, back stabbing, POS republicOns.
As the devil who “knows he only has a short time” the assaults of Barack will grow.
There probably is enough Christendom in the country to rebound, but it has become soft and flabby, content to ride on icons. Hey ain’t this the wonderful city on a hill? That God is obligated to bless? Well no it isn’t. Not when the salt is unsalty.
And the salt that is missing is NOT finger-wagging at others’ sins — it is the story of personal redemption. It’s excellent that past drunks and thieves are going to Christ to be made new, but how about “respectable” people who really aren’t any more respectable than the drunks and thieves when it comes to heaven’s standards?
Look at yourself in God’s mirror and you will be shocked to see worthless too. God cares about a scope of things that goes far, far beyond politics.
Our plunge into the abyss seems to be accelerating.
FWIW, Franklin Graham is slated to hit all 50 states next year in an attempt to turn this country back to God. Because, as you say, the battle is spiritual.
I try to remain hopeful we will once again be a Godly nation. But lately I’ve been looking up, if you get my meaning.
..”Rome survived Caligula and Nero”.....
The U.S. absorbs more than 800 ‘Somali’ refugees per month...1000 ‘Syrian’ Refugees and countless others coming here....Most of the refugees, in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, are “hand-selected by the U.N.” for assignment to the U.S.
The Roman Empire, allowed unlimited immigration by the various populations they had conquered and also massive numbers of foreign slaves were brought into the city. There were very few real Romans left in Rome when it fell to the barbarians. There was no one left to defend the city, it was sacked and burned.
To look up now is only to restore the attitude that God wished had been there all the time.
A nation that knows it has no hope beyond the mercy and grace of God is one that will get such mercy and grace.
Perhaps it is largely that people are now bold to act out what was already going on in their heads without check.
Always has been.
But the Dugga son is evil?
The Lord has a way of putting the outrage du jour in perspective mighty quick.
Actually, Rome did not survive.
We will survive Jug Ears, we have faced tougher foes and won, he will end up on the “ash heap of history” as a bad choice that caused a hard swing to the right.
If it ain’t a “hard swing to the LORD” it will be in vain
I have seen things I never dreamed would be seen in this nation.
I have seen America descend into an open sewer.
It didn’t just happen. It was made to happen.
People left their doors open to the devil.
It absolutely is. Almost every true Christian leader and Evangelist I respect has stated the same thing.
As Christ warned, the birth pangs are getting more severe and closer together.
Judgment is coming to America, and the world.
Here is a picture from a "worship service" at the Metro New York (ELCA) Syno's Assembly
June is "pride month".
Coincidence?
As the writer of the article states, it is almost unbelievable how far we have fallen, and how quickly.
Looking back, even to the 60's and 70's of my youth, the nation only seemed to be holding together more out of our Judeo-Christian tradition than in a super majority of real believers and obedience to Almighty God.
The latest surveys have said that Christianity has dwindled 8% in the US since 2007, however - I truly believe that America had far, far more "nominal" Christians than real Christians.
Now persecution has come to America. Members of military have been persecuted for being Christians. Bakers, shop owners, and businesses have persecuted.
Very soon, tax exempt status for Christian churches will be revoked, and pastors who preach the Word of God will be arrested and thrown into jail with murderers and rapists.
