America was founded on Christian principles and it was evident even to foreign visitors. One famous visitor was Alexis de Tocqueville and while here he became possessed by the question of why America was such a great nation. He wrote in his “Democracy in America” the following comment.
“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers - and it was not there . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests and it was not there . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce - and it was not there . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution - and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”
Over the years, the leaders of our nation, both political and spiritual, have allowed the founding values to be compromised to the demise of this former greatness. Today, sin runs rampant from child pornography, drug dealing and addiction, the wholesale murder of fifty million innocent babies, rape, incest, child molestation, homosexuality, heterosexual adultery, prostitution and compromise from the pulpits of America on these very issues and countless other vices.
On line pornography is sapping the very life out of our citizens. These perverted sites draw billions of hits yearly. Our children are being subjected to sexual perversion in the public school classrooms by explaining homosexual behavior and convincing these little minds that it is normal while parents just sit by idly clicking their tongues in disgust but most are doing nothing about ending it. WHY ON EARTH DO PRESCHOOLERS, AND OTHER SMALL CHILDREN, NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ANY FORM OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR? Our schools are failing around the nation and we are spending billions of dollars to educate children, in what seems to be, totally unnecessary subjects.
Millions of Christian pastors refuse to preach on sexual perversion or political issues. Our Bill of Rights came from a series of sermons that were preached prior to the actual writing of these sacred rights on paper.
The Bible is clear on what happens to any nation who throws God out of its operation and God warns us over and over of these consequences. All we have to do is to read the Old Testament to see the truth of this.
"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people." Psalm 14:34 NASB
The solution to all of America's woes is for the nation's pulpits to be aflame with righteousness once again. The First and Second Great Awakenings are proof positive of the results when God's own people again make Him the center of their lives and then insist that the government be restored to honesty and integrity. Here is the formula folks.
"If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I send the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name HUMBLE themselves and PRAY and SEEK MY FACE and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 NASB
PS If you scoff at this, you are part of the problem!
