When Adam and Eve
sinned against the
Lord God in the
Garden of Eden, they
attempted to hide
from God in order to
avoid being
confronted by Him
about their sinful
conduct.
God called to
Adam and asked
‘Where are you?”—and
to the woman God
said “What is this
you have done?”—but
God was already
fully aware of why,
and where, Adam and
Eve were hiding.
God was
merely seeking
verbal replies from
the couple in order
to hold them
accountable for what
they had done.
He then
proceeded to inform
them what the
consequences would
be for their sinful
actions.
(Genesis 3)
God could
easily be asking
America
today the same
questions of “Where
are you?” and “What
is this you have
done?”—perhaps for
the purpose of
seeking Americans to
be accountable for
our sinful conduct,
and waiting
patiently for us to
confess our sins as
a nation in order
that we would once
again become
pleasing in His
sight.
It seems
highly probable that
only if we turn back
to God and seek His
guidance will God be
inclined to heal our
nation from the
problems which are
compounding
themselves daily in
America.
How can America
possibly expect God
to ever bless
our nation again,
when we continue to
increasingly, and
willfully,
disobey, defy, and
deny God?
America seems
to be shunning
‘Godly wisdom’ found
in the written Word
of God, the Bible,
and expecting
instead to somehow
survive as a nation
into the future by
relying strictly on
the ‘human
knowledge’ of our
secular governmental
and institutional
leaders.
This
intentional and
foolish choice of
shutting God out of
our schools, public
events, public
dialogue, and
governmental
policy-making, is
seemingly being led
and promoted by all
three branches of
our
United States
government.
These
aggressive attempts
to remove God from
our American society
is placing our
nation at extreme
risk of ultimate
futility in trying
to avoid the
eventual destruction
of America should
we ever totally lose
God’s blessing upon
our country.
The constant
legal challenges in
our courts to push
God out of our
country and kick the
door shut behind Him
is manifesting
itself right before
our eyes on a daily
basis as exhibited
in the words,
actions, and laws
spewed forth by a
‘majority’ of our
federal and state
politicians,
judicial courts and
anti-God liberal
activists.
Thank God we
still do have some
Christian
representatives in
our government today
who are taking a
public stance for
God, and who still
believe in governing
our nation by
incorporating Godly
wisdom into our
state and national
policymaking.
The
prevailing
atmosphere in our
nation today is for
a great percentage
of radical
non-believers to
gleefully offend
God, denounce Jesus
Christ, mock
Christians, and
suppress
Christianity at
every
opportunity—and this
growing faction of
our citizenry
continues to gain
increasing support
for their
anti-Christian
causes starting
right at the top of
our government with
our current
president.
From there it
trickles right on
down through our
liberal judges,
liberal
congressional
representatives,
liberal state
governors, etc.
Compounding
our problems and
attempts to keep
America a Christian
nation is the
willingness of our
nation’s mainstream
press and broadcast
news to ‘fan the
flames’ of open
contempt against God
by quickly ‘waving
the victory flag for
evil’ in their
headline news and
lead stories every
time the biblical
‘Word of God’ is
trampled upon by
some ‘minority’
factions in our
nation—whose only
apparent goal in
their actions and
legal maneuvering is
to erode and
ultimately destroy
our Judeo-Christian
national foundation.
One of the
latest examples of
front page news
offensive to God is
the legalization of
‘gay couple
marriages’ in
New York.
When I saw
the pictures of
people making
‘revelry’ in the
streets of New York
after the governor
signed it into law,
my thoughts turned
to Moses and the
scene he was
confronted with by
the sight of the
sons of Israel
‘singing and
dancing’ in their
camp around a
‘golden calf’ they
had compelled Aaron
to fashion for them
in order to worship
that idol as one of
their ‘new gods’
after they felt
Moses had taken ‘so
long’ in coming down
from Mt. Sinai.
(Exodus 32)
When Moses
saw the scene before
him his ‘anger
burned’ and after
shattering the Ten
Commandment tablets
he had brought down
from the mountain
with him, he said to
the people, “Whoever
is for the Lord,
come to me!”
Those who
did not gather
together on the side
of the Lord with
Moses soon suffered
the consequences for
their sinful
conduct.
Anti-Christian
movements in
America
today are trying
hard to blur the
difference between
right and wrong,
evil and good, but
with God there is no
fuzzy middle ground
or grey zone—every
person is either
aligned with God or
against God.
It now sadly
appears that a
greater number of
Americans have
chosen to follow
‘new gods’ rather
than the one true
God.
As with the
sons of Israel
waiting for Moses,
perhaps some
Americans feel the
Second-Coming of
Jesus Christ has
taken ‘so long’ that
they have decided to
follow their own
sinful hearts and
turn their backs on
God.
These people
will ultimately
suffer the
consequences for
their sinful choices
and conduct.
We Christians
need to ‘pray’ that
as many people as
possible will make a
decision to turn
back to God before
it’s too late, by
placing their belief
and faith in Jesus
Christ, the Son of
God.
All
Christians who
believe in Bible
prophecy know that
the signs of
Christ’s return as
found in the Bible
are rapidly
increasing in
frequency and
intensity, meaning
that the Rapture of
the Church
(Christians), and
the Second-Coming of
Jesus Christ, are
approaching faster
than most people
realize.
AMERICA—Where
are you?
AMERICA—What is this you have done?
America is,
and will be, held
‘accountable’ before
God for its deeds as
a nation, and
therefore needs to
seriously consider
how it replies as a
nation to God’s two
questions above
—just as Adam and
Eve had to answer
God’s questions in
the Garden of Eden.
And as with
Adam and Eve, nobody
can hide from God
and absolutely no
amount of standard
American political
‘double-talk’ will
ever be able to fool
God in our reply.
America
currently seems to
be faced with a
variety of severe
consequences for
rejecting God, and
more consequences
will undoubtedly
befall our nation
until positive
changes are made to
invite God back into
all levels of our
government and
institutions.
And as with
Moses and the sons
of
Israel
at Mt.
Sinai,
when Moses said,
“Whoever is for the
Lord, come to
me!”—the day is now
at hand when the
citizens of our
great nation, the United States of America, need to
decide if they will
once again follow
the Lord.
“But if serving the
LORD seems
undesirable to you,
then choose today
whom you will
serve…but as for me
and my household, we
will serve the LORD”
(Joshua 24:15)
I pray that all
Christian Americans
will vote
responsibly and
wisely in the 2012
elections.
