Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people. Proverbs 14:3
The founding of America was based on Judeo-Christian values. Morality, acknowledgment of an Almighty God. Our founders thought morally, with a Biblical worldview. Edmund Burke (1729-1797) put the matter well in his famous statement: ”All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Most Christians understand that America is in a serious state of moral, social, cultural, and especially political decline. This implies that America has fallen from a better situation to a worse situation. As Christians we recognize a connection between a country’s religious faith and its adherence to the Word of God. We have fallen because we have turned our back as a nation from Almighty God to a god of our own making. Let me share a warning before I go further, “The wicked will return to Sheol; Even all the nations who forget God” (Psalms 9:17).
Previously I stated we have made our own gods, (small g) which are not gods at all but we place them just as Israel did, before our worship and recognition of the Lord. We have chosen the god of self. We do as we please, following “our heart”, except the Bible says our “heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9. We worship the god of prosperity and pride. We worship the god of pleasure, if it feels good we do it. Morality is not an absolute, but just merely a suggestion on how to live. Today we aren’t even sure if the Bible is true, or If it even matters since many don’t believe in the Lord, except the one that gives them freedom to live as they wish.
Climate change is also a religion that puts the creation above the creator. Mankind destroying the environment is not settled fact, however we must tax and buy carbon credits (penance) to escape our doom. I could go on forever. Let’s not forget evolution, a baby is a fetus etc.
We can look back on our history and realize that we have been greatly influenced by our Christian faith. We have never officially been a Christian Republic, but those roots run deep in our past prosperity. Unfortunately, our national situation is much different today. Barack Obama (while Senator and later as President) has repeatedly sought to distance America from its Christian heritage. In 2006, he stated that “whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.” In 2007 in Turkey of all places, he stated ”we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.” This might be the only statement BHO ever said that I could agree with, sadly.
We are in trouble until we accept the truth that we have sinned and turned our back on Jesus Christ. Repentance and a turning away from sin is mandatory to renew morality in America. God be merciful to us.
