God and America Today

Thousands of years ago, recorded in IV Kings 17: 5-8, 13-15, 18; 25: 1,3,7,9, the Israelites experienced the horrendous and devastating consequences of rejecting God. Today our society, and the world, is following the same path. Why would we expect the results to differ? Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of God. Since the time of Jesus’ coming, we have no excuse that would be acceptable to the Almighty. Our only recourse is to try to make the world’s people understand the error of their ways and quickly return to Him. You have a role to fill in helping us get this done. (Copy and forward this Blog to those who would understand, and those who need to know.) What we need is for people to change their hearts and minds, act responsibly, and everyone’s prayers – in their own words, for the conversion of this Nation, to return to its Christian roots. I have seen peoples on entire continents, once unquestionably religious, with the fear of God in their hearts, walk miles, under all weather conditions, to worship in His house (Church), the “house of prayer.” Now they have dangerously turned their backs on Him. The United States is well underway to imitating Europe and other countries where freedom to worship still exists but unexplainably appears to mean nothing to them. Where freedom to worship does not exist we hear and read of Christians persecuted, still dying for their Faith as true martyrs, just as they have for thousands of years. They are the saints among us today marked with the sign of faith. For us in America, if things continue on the present trends, it is just a matter of time. You see, God does not change; man is the one that changes. “In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses spoke…all the commands that the Lord had given him …”(Deut. 1:3). In Deut. 30:15-16, 19, Moses relates God’s command that allows us to choose how we live, along with what to expect from our choice: “Here, then, I have today set before you life and prosperity, death and doom. If you obey the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I enjoin on you today, loving Him, walking in His ways, and keeping His commandments, statutes and decrees * ….I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live by loving the Lord your God, heeding His voice, and holding fast to Him….” Daily, our sinful human nature increasingly moves in the direction of death, even pursues death. God knows all and sees all. His love is everlasting, but we must be severely taxing (Read: abusing) His patience. We who are aware of our Creators love for us, and know that He desires that we love Him in return as our Father, recognize this terrible abuse toward Him and pray for His continued patience for all of His children. Our only hope is in Jesus, the Son of God Who walked and lived among us as God Man; Jesus is our only hope. When we live for Jesus alone He breaks the destructive cycle of sin. There is no reason to believe that the utter destruction that happened to the Israelites for rejecting God could not happen to us. Jesus taught us to pray to the Father. Now as never before, pray the Lord to have mercy on us all. * See Deut. 5: 1-21 Epilogue NOTE: The Bible references in the beginning of this article are must reading to grasp the parallel situation that we are in today. Truly, I believe that our destruction as a free people for ignoring God has begun. Most people have already placed the events of 9/11 out of their minds and into the history books. Unexplainable citizens voting that placed destructive rascals in office. Our lack of resolve to protect our borders from the millions of illegal immigrants breaking the law, and those ideologues bent on changing our way of life and taking over our nation with the aid of those in office, is a sure sign of something different happening to our country. The inexperienced Liberal leadership of the irresponsible voters possess an indifferent attitude toward matters of significance affecting America and its people, has earned disrespect for this nation by the countries of the world. The once creeping crud of Red Russia’s Communism over the globe, ended by a miracle promised by Our Lady, the Mother of God, through many years of Christian prayer around the world, was supplanted by the now rapidly moving creeping crud of radical Islam, a false, contrived religion from its birth. In voting, too many millions irresponsibly voted to install liberals in office, hoping to get something for nothing (a human failing). Those elected have an attitude lacking concern for the wishes of the people; aggressively reflect their ungodly views and intentions, affecting virtually everyone, making a shambles out of our Judicial Branch of Government. We accept that Miss Justice is Blind, but now she is crippled, and I pray it not be permanent. The elected unbridled actions, approval and tolerance for inordinate lifestyles, forcing their views on everyone, trying to change our Constitution for their evil long-range plans, making wrong right, and right wrong; purposely plunging the country into unmanageable debt showing no tangible results, and from which it may be impossible for us to recover. Lying, saying one thing and doing something else. In following an unacceptable agenda to change the ideals of this great Nation Under God, we become a nation under the ungodly. Intentionally nominating extreme liberals to sit on our nation’s ultimate court, assures this president of a lifetime of liberal thought to continue to undermine our Supreme Court’s honored, deliberative conclusions for many years. What is more, falsely making an oath of office to protect and defend this nation from enemies both foreign and domestic. Apologizing to foes for our past’s honorable efforts and great, unselfish deeds to heal and mend. There is more. Taking a non-committed stand against those that are dedicated to harm us, and our allies; weakening our nation’s forward defenses through unwise pacts. For reasons not generally known to the American public, something sinister seems to exist in the shadows that deter one or more qualified, righteous, God-fearing leaders to step forward and seek the responsibility of the highest office in the land. Is it fear? Are they being threatened? Why do battlefield leaders retire, write books, and then fade away? The latest military casualty for speaking honestly is General McChrystal. The shame there is that his fellow Generals and Admirals did not have the honest courage and gumption to stand by him and support the truth. Things sheepishly continues as if nothing had happened, and Obama remains none the wiser, cares less. “We the People” must not abandon our individual responsibility to defend and protect this unique nation under God, as our Founding Fathers fought to establish. At the same time, we honor the untold number of dead, maimed and missing Americans around the world. Their sacrifices cause this country, one nation under God, to continue as the beacon of liberty for the world. Jesus said, “No greater love than this, that man lay down his life for his friends.” NOTE: Our proud historical, national archive, since our founding, comes from earlier times, a time of sincere Judeo Christian belief in God, and our country as a whole acted accordingly. People prayed, filled His Churches and synagogues in humble attendance, listened to and acted on Gods words. It is senseless now for our brothers and sisters to be humanly sacrificed in the name of freedom and liberty, while selfishly sinning, and behaving contrary to God’s Laws. He does not condone greed, moral decay, corruption, etc., as one nation under God. God is Love and His tenet is life in Him in liberty and freedom. I believe a direct connection exists in our confusion and failures, thinking that we can continue in our earlier successes without Him. Consider the obvious: Despite possessing the most modern war machinery ever known to man, we are now fighting prolonged battles, without successful endings. Part of the problem is we stopped asking God for His help, thinking we are now smart enough to do everything without Him. That is foolishness. We need to quickly turn ourselves around and again see God as our Creator Who loves us, and sincerely return to Him in our hearts and minds, asking His forgiveness and His intercession in our goals. We need humbly to fill His holy Sanctuary with prayer and reverence once more. Many years ago I penned a thought for the day that read: When we live for God, we live for life; When we live for ourselves, We are living for nothing, for death. These words remain alive in my belief. We must obey Him. We should ask the Lord for obedient hearts instead of our rebellious ones. We must stop doing our own thing as if there were no Ten Commandments; we must let it be done unto us according to God’s will (Lk 1:38). Repent and receive new, spiritual hearts from Him (Ez. 36:26). By God, with God, and in God, we must save ourselves as His children, and save our Christian-formed country. By the grace of God, this country was the light to the world and could be again. It is reasonable to believe that the right person, (one who would be right in the eyes of God), would have the support of God Almighty to make this Nation aright. This I have to believe at this time in our Nations life. We must wait and see, and be responsible in our thoughts, words, and deeds. I beseech you to pray, as I do, for God’s continued patience and mercy on us, and His blessing on America. Thank you for visiting. -- Bob God bless America!
