I cannot convince or justify merely declare.  You will have to give an account for your lives.  I will not be there as your advocate or witness for the Lord of All sees ALL.  What have you accepted, befriended or tolerated which the Lord calls us clearly to drive out and separate from ourselves?  We want the blessings but we don’t want to do what it takes to receive the blessings.  We want the reward but are unwilling to run the race.  We want the food but are unwilling to work.  Take what the Lord has given you.  Possess the land and when you have demonstrated your obedience and trustworthiness He can trust you with greater responsibility and stewardship.  Demonstrate grace through humble satisfaction and joy.

Stop the entitlement philosophy in your own heart before you accuse the youth around you.  Where do we think that they learned this practice?  “Practice makes perfect” is a horror story when what we are practicing is self service.  Everyone want us to be politically correct preachers of peace and flowers.  I simply cannot do that and be obedient to the Lord.  However, this argument is not about me, it is about how closely we are adhering to the Lord’s commands for us as His betrothed.  I will tell people about the Lord’s Infinite Love, but I will also tell them of His Holiness, Righteousness and that He always keeps His promises.  We are failing in our duties as Christians because we don’t want to be perceived as Bible-Thumpers or worse yet Fanatics for Christ.  We are living defeated lives and then blaming it on any convenient culprits.  If we clean up our own act then we can be an example, assistance or conviction to this world suffering sin’s entropy.

This world is falling apart and yet collectively we are willing to try every ridiculous theory except the one that guarantees success, obedience to our Creator, God.  Our country has been going downhill ever since we entertained and widely adopted philosophies in opposition to the Lord’s Eternal Sovereignty.  Roughly around 1850 when men developed ideas like, “God is dead” and “Evolution is the Origin of Species”, they had finally become wise unto themselves.  They finally had alternative explanation for our creation and thus found what they believed to be “permissive disobedience”.  What is worse we don’t even fight them though we know explicitly that their path leads directly to Hades.

Consequently, we have seen a steady decline of the foundation and fabric of what made our country fabulous.  Denying that God is there will neither save us from His accountability nor His vengeance.  Our national blessings are gifts from the Lord.  Conversely, our downfall is proof positive of removal of His hand of blessing.  Christians that are not shouting this truth are either afraid, disobedient or God help us complicit in the world’s debauchery.  None of these three choices is explainable or tolerable according the Lord’s Word.  I cannot tell you what to do if what I suggest, you do not want to do.  Obey the voice of the Holy Spirit within your heart and you will be victoriously effective for the Kingdom, don’t listen and you may be lucky to only end up smelling of smoke for eternity.  Jesus be praised.
