As we celebrate Independence Day this year we would be wise to keep in mind that our independence as a country is a blessing from God. America would never have been an independent country if God Almighty had not allowed it. We owe it to Him to use our God-given independence and freedoms to honor and glorify Him. 

 

We will surely lose our independence and all of our freedoms if we use them to rebel against the God who gave them to us in the first place.

Remember this message from Proverbs 16 as you go through the month of June and witness the events, promotions and celebrations taking place.

God Bless America???

 

This weekend Americans will be participating in Memorial Day events across the nation. This time of remembering those who fought and died on behalf of this country is a time marked with American flags flying high, surrounded by endless echoes of the phrase "God bless America". Perhaps we could better pay tribute to those who gave their lives for this country by pausing for a moment to really think about what we are saying.

 

America has allowed the Living God to be removed from the public square, removed from the schools and even removed from the pulpits. We allow defenseless, innocent babies to be slaughtered for the sake of convenience while convicted murderers on death row are afforded every assurance of a long life and painless death. We allow drag queens to interact with and entertain kindergarteners in the public school system as if there is no satanic agenda behind it while Jesus and Christian prayer are strictly forbidden to enter these same classrooms. Churches across this nation are actively leading congregations to hell with false doctrine, while others are passively damning their own congregations for fear of calling out sin and preaching the full Gospel message. Jesus did not soft-pedal the Gospel but, for fear of offending those who oppose God, that's exactly what far too many Christian pastors are doing today. We are a country that idolizes Hollywood, musicians and athletes, spending hours upon hours in front of the television or computer screen giving them our undivided attention while maybe, just maybe, giving God an hour a week of half-hearted acknowledgment. We are a nation obsessed with social media while our Bibles gather dust on the shelf. In just a few days, we will begin a month that has been officially dedicated by our own government to celebrating pride, which is this nations collective thumbing of the nose at the Living God. Things that God Himself has clearly and directly declared an abomination against Him, will be officially celebrated during the entire month of June

 

Yet, this weekend, we will parade around saying, "God bless America". How dare we ask a Holy God to bless the filthy mess we have allowed this country to become??? How dare we ask the Living God to bless a country that celebrates and elevates that which directly, openly, and pridefully opposes Him??? How dare we ask God to bless a country that considers it a woman's right to slaughter her own baby for the sake of convenience??? 

 

We need to be on our knees, praying to God, asking Him to forgive America, to change America, to draw America as a nation to Him. We, as Americans, need to have hearts of repentance, not hearts of pride. 

 

Half of this country thinks that Trump is going to save America. The other half is convinced he is going to destroy it. We are a nation divided. In the words of Jesus Christ Himself, "... Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:" (Matthew 12:25). This country will never be saved apart from Jesus Christ.

 

Without genuine repentance as individuals and as a nation, we have no right to ask God to bless this sinful, rebellious country. Doing so is not only, first and foremost, an affront to God, but is also dishonoring to the very ones we claim to honor on Memorial Day. 

 

Give that some thought.

Make America Christian Again!!!

 

Over half the country is still enthusiastically running victory laps, stopping only long enough to breathe a sigh of relief and applaud the latest great thing President Trump has done with the stroke of his executive pen. Taken at face value, it looks like America is on the road to a speedy recovery from the deliberate destruction blatantly heaped upon her by the previous administration. I sincerely hope and pray that this is the case. 

 

While remaining hopeful, I must say, I have lived in this fallen world long enough to know that nothing should ever be taken at face value, especially when it comes to our government. Failing to look beneath the surface level hype and fanfare ensures a life of ignorance. I've heard it said that the Left-wing and the Right-wing of American politics are attached to the same bird. Ponder that possibility. Could it be that we are caught up in an elaborate real-life game of Good Cop, Bad Cop neatly nestled within a massive scheme to divide and conquer? 

 

Matthew 7:16

Ye shall know them by their fruits....

 

I strongly encourage Christians to diligently study the written word of God and pray for discernment. Biblical discernment is something that is sorely lacking within the Christian community. Far too many professing Christians in America tend to be very casual in their approach to the written word of God and their relationship with Jesus. I'm seeing far too many people letting their guard down and expecting that President Trump is going to fix this country. He's going to right all the wrongs, punish the bad guys, and reclaim America's status at the top of the global hierarchy. I see more faith being put into this one man than should ever be put into a mere human. The only thing that will save America is a national return to the Living God. Short of that, America cannot and will not be saved, let alone be great again.

 

Stay in the written word of God. Pray for discernment. Pay attention. Look beneath the surface. Make sure your full faith is in the God of the Bible, not in any political figure. 


2024

 

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.
