The following post is from 2017:
We don't want to hear about God judging America. We just don't want to hear it. It's as simple as that. We are a people that want to get for ourselves what we want for ourselves....what we feel that we deserve. The old days where Americans actually felt some kind of thankfulness not only for those who worked and sacrificed for centuries to give us the nation that we once had but thankfulness to God for blessing this land with spacious skies and amber waves of grain....that's no longer us. Half of us....or at least close to half of us....can no longer think through existential issues....our progressive educational system having insured that we are to be followers and not leaders....producers and not thinkers.
We cannot grasp the problem of a now twenty-one trillion dollar deficit. (now $22 trillion)....if we ignore it it will go away.....Communism is just a name from the past....and whatever it was.....it doesn't really exist anymore. In fact if any nagging threat to America does grab our attention for more than a few days....thus upsetting our personal schedule....we just put our headphones on....or watch cable TV and sports....and if we want evidence that we are all right all we have to do is check the Dow Jones Industrial Average....or go outside for a walk where the birds are still chirping....and the squirrels and rabbits still play and chase each other around....and no one passing by seems overly concerned.
I can see the total lack of vigilance in the long-term decisions that younger people make. There's no room in those plans for emergencies.....or for war....or even for another Great Depression. They don't show the slightest concern that the world governments have emergency plans to change the entire structure of money and the way that we buy and sell....that is if this emerging New World Order even lets us have all of our money. Whereas we used to laugh at such suggestions of a one world government....today no one is laughing....we just push it off the possibility to years down the road.
On our side of this mess we search for churches that exude happiness in a world of turmoil. A giant church with a latte bar and exercise classes does the trick. Don't believe me? Go and read their church websites. There is little to no mention of repentance on them for that would be church growth killer. Their listed 'beliefs' are given about as much weight as directions to the church....and their sermon titles are charmingly unobtrusive. Ask them about the omission of any warnings and they will tell you that you just have to trust God! You mean like trusting Him when He give us warning after warning for decade after decade?
God sent Jonah to Nineveh with a warning. The Ninevites repented. A century or so passed but God then sent Nahum to the same people. This time there was no offer of forty days. It was a proclamation of imminent judgment. God sent one Jonah after another to America for the past half century....all the warnings were ignored....and the message of Nahum is to us now....read it if you will at your leisure.
This is a time of preparation.....physically but more importantly spiritually.....but you won't hear that message in too many of our pulpits....why....as I wrote in the first paragraph of this post.....we don't want to hear about God judging America....we just don't want to hear it....it's as simple as that.
