The American Experiment....
What I'm about to write in the following paragraphs pertain to the American public in general, primarily the metropolitan areas of our country and to higher education and the news media in their great influences upon the public, and it is not addressing our patriotic young men and women in the military or to those many Americans who know and lament what has happened to us, or those Christians who actually understand the gospel of Jesus Christ and recognize the great gift given us as individuals and as a nation.
What has been called 'The American Experiment' is over. The warnings that our Founding Fathers gave us have gone unheeded. We lost our Republic. We found out that we can vote ourselves money and now have a worthless Congress, two condescending and deceiving political parties supplying that Congress, and a people beset upon on all sides by enemies and dangers who do not have a worry in the world beyond their 401k.
What's more, when this economic system collapses, when this bloated and bullying government finally brings the hammer down upon its own people and when even the most dulled and gullible liberal finally realizes that America has been decisively defeated by its many enemies, they will lash out in every direction on who to blame, oblivious that their own ignorance, pride and greed played a big part in that.
But right now they own the upper hand for there is no news media to speak of to warn the American people, no Congress to rise up and defend the Constitution and no Christian church to proclaim that we, en masse, are 'sinners in the hands of an angry God,' or that "God had numbered the days of (our) kingdom and brought it to an end..."
Walk around outside, take a drive or turn on the profoundly nicknamed 'boob tube' and you see nothing out of the ordinary for one will not discern a tyrant in the blooming of a rose, one will not here the furies yelled out of the mouths of blood soaked enemies from a park or a mall or a stadium, and one will not hear Jefferson's words or Lincoln's resolve or Reagan's wisdom on anything our bundled venomous television cable instructs us with.
These posts have reached some in Belarus, the Ukraine, France, Italy, Poland and Greece within only the last few days. To readers such as these.... they haven't published the death notice of the United States as yet but we have already been laid in the ground. Lenin's body may lay perfectly embalmed without blood or brain matter but his offspring conspire equally as deceptive. Stalin may be long gone but the demonic hatred that ruled him rules others now and Hitler's body was no longer of use but other vessels have been filled with the same spirit of anti-semitism and totalitarianism. Frail as we were in many areas of honor and truth, America was used by God to vanquish these men and secure your liberties. We rejected God and now mock His memory, as you had done much earlier I might add, and He has withdrawn His protection, wherein was your protection also.
God will certainly not restore us to the whitened sepulchers or pagan temples that we had made ourselves into but His mercies remain available to individuals and perchance even to nations if only we would look to Him with true repentance.
The following is part of an unnamed Puritan's prayer The Awakened Sinner from Arthur Bennett's much valued book, Valley Of Vision:
O my forgetful soul,
Awake from your wandering dream;
turn from chasing vanities,
look inward, forward, upward,
view thyself,
reflect upon thyself,
who and what thou art, why here,
what thou must be soon be.
Thou art a creature of God,
formed and furnished by him,
lodged in a body like a shepherd in his tent;
Dost thou not desire to know God's ways?
