| When it comes to problems, America is a nation that naively believes it has the leisure of looking the other way and turning a blind eye to what is urgent and in need of immediate attention. This in all actuality is a monumental understatement when realizing the cold hard reality of what we’ve become as a nation and people. Even though the very survival of the country is at stake, this is a generation either in complete denial of its true condition or is tragically viewing problems with a wait and see attitude. This non-urgent and complacent mind set is a recipe for disaster. America is about to receive a reality check it’s not prepared for. It will be hit with Mt. Everest size events that will shock, stun and chill each and every person to the bone who is not protected by God. People who do not obey God on his terms will find themselves in a state of complete helplessness. Tragically, until events become very personal, people will seek every means possible to do whatever it takes to maintain self-made comfort zones reinforced by self-denial. Nothing but Talk, Talk, and more Talk Leaders in Washington, the mainstream media, and the American people overall, suffer from a moral disease called the gift of gab. The individual and nationwide approach that there is all the time in the world to reason, gripe, groan, moan and complain is a delusional and pervasive deeply engrained way of how problems are viewed. Day after day, what can only be described as mindless blibber blabber is recklessly stated. We are a nation living on borrowed time. Because we refuse to face cold hard reality, it will be our downfall. Why Such a Tragic Condition? The moral crisis of being desensitized is a dangerous and deadly condition. Because the nation’s leaders, the mainstream media, and the American people refuse to see what is happening, it has resulted in a carefree and reckless lifestyle that has turned America into a play nation. Because there are not immediate consequences for our irresponsible and reprehensible behavior, the lack of accountability has turned into license to think and do whatever we want as a people. God, however, is completely aware of our individual and national condition, and he will bring judgment upon the country when he finally says ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Galatians 6:7- “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man (or nation) sows, that shall he also reap (there will be consequences).” America’s attitude towards God will result in a punishment beyond what anyone can imagine. Matthew 24:21- “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” What is coming is beyond comprehension, and in the modern vernacular, absolutely mind blowing! Throughout the Bible there are warnings for being disobedient to God, yet it is rejected and under constant attack. Why? Because it is completely contrary to what America is doing. The Bible is the mind of God in print. It is in households across the country, yet completely neglected as an individual and national guide. It explains thoroughly what is coming upon the American, British descended peoples, and the Jewish people. God is not a liberal when it comes to how people are to live. He does not change when it comes to conservative standards, and a moral code of conduct. Malachi 3:6- “For I am the Lord, I change not…” Hebrews 12:8- “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.” As much as people in not only society, but in churches around the country, want to believe the Ten Commandments have been done away with, the Bible refutes such a false belief. I John 3:4- “Whosoever commits sin, transgresses also the law (the Ten Commandments): for sin is the transgression of the law.” Until America wakes up, repents to God for its blatant disobedience to him, problems are guaranteed to grow, and eventually become full blown nightmares. Simply put, God doesn’t want a people who are simply talkers, but who will walk in accordance with what he says. The time is coming when the Kingdom of God is established, and people will be taught to walk in harmony with him. Isaiah 30:21- “And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.” |
