Romans 1:16-32 (King James Version)
16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31) Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
It is hardly disputable that America is now a nation in rapid decline. Drive through nearly any area of this country, large cities to small towns, and you will find no shortage of abandoned buildings that, not so terribly long ago, housed manufacturers, retailers, and other types of flourishing businesses. Today, they are nothing more than deserted, dilapidated, decaying reminders of a past time of prosperity and plenty. Neighborhoods all across this nation that were once lined with neatly kept lawns and well-maintained homes, are now overgrown and falling apart from years of abandonment and neglect. Graffiti is the closest these houses have come to getting a fresh coat of paint in decades.
Just fifty years ago, the U.S. National debt was $475 Billion dollars. Today, our U.S. National debt has exploded to an astonishing $35.46 Trillion dollars! In 1974, the United States had a debt-to-GDP ratio of just 24.6%. That number has since skyrocketed to 123%. Just fifty years ago, it was possible for a family of four to live comfortably on one income. That same family could own their home, have a nice automobile, and afford groceries without "government assistance". They could take yearly vacations and still save enough money to send the kids to college, all still on that single income. Today, two incomes are necessary to get by. Even then, the level of debt required just to have a home and a vehicle is staggering. Vacations and, often times, groceries are paid for with a credit card. College is ridiculously expensive and seldom worth it as they are no longer institutions of higher learning, but have instead become next-level indoctrination centers. Universities and colleges focus less on teaching students how to think critically using research and reason, and more on what to think so as to stay in alignment with the current social agenda.
This country is no longer a super power on the world stage, although our government, in conjunction with the carefully controlled mainstream media, continues to portray that illusion for the masses. Sadly, our nation has become a shadow of her former self, desperately clinging to memories of global status and prestige. America's proverbial "glory days" have long since faded into the tattered, yellowing pages of history.
People often comment that they wonder what happened to this country. There is no need to wonder. The Bible provides a clear explanation as to exactly what happened to America, causing this once great nation to decend into the current state of weakness, chaos, and depravity that is the reality of today. While America is not specifically mentioned in the written word of God, the principle illustrating her path to destruction is clearly detailed in Romans 1:16-32.
The purpose of this website is not to bash America. This country is my beloved home. The purpose of this website is to help people see the root cause of this decline and recognize that repentance and a collective return to the Living God is the only hope for our country.
From the top down, America runs on deception and depravity. Our own government sanctions the debauchery with neither apology nor regret. Our government considers the slaughter of pre-born babies to be a "right". It is promoted under the guise of "Health Care" and "Reproductive Rights". For years now, the holders of the highest office in the land, the United States Presidential office, have declared that it is a woman's right to do what she chooses with her own body. In such declarations, there is no mention of the fact that it is NOT the woman's body that is being torn apart, piece by piece, during an abortion. The body being torn apart belongs to an entirely new human being who, in the eyes of our government, has no rights at all. The vast majority of abortions are committed for the sake of convenience, not medical necessity. Proponents of abortion can scream and pitch a fit all they want. We all know that is the truth. Make no mistake about it, child sacrifice did not end with the Pagan nations of the Old Testament. Child sacrifice is still happening today in America with the full approval of the United States Government. I can assure you that God is NOT OK with that.
Our government approves, applauds and promotes sexual depravity across the board. Our government so approves of sexual deviance that an entire month has been set aside to celebrate it. The entire month of June has been given over to celebrating that which God has clearly declared an abomination against Him. Our government has grossly overreached its authority and changed God's definition of marriage to allow for men to "marry" men and women to "marry" women. The 2024 Democratic Candidate for President openly promoted the belief that "transgender" surgeries for prisoners should be provided at taxpayer expense. The 2024 Democratic Candidate for Vice President signed into law the requirement that public schools provide tampons in the boys bathrooms. Public schools are hosting Drag Queen events for grade school children. Books are approved for public school libraries that cause parent's reading them aloud in school board meetings to be escorted out by security because of the vulgarity contained therein. Public schools are promoting the "transgender" ideology and encouraging impressionable children to "transition" without notifying their parents. If parents do not "affirm" their child's idea that they are of the opposite sex than they actually are, governmental agencies are stepping in to remove the child from their own parents under the guise of "protecting" them. The list goes on and on.
