I want to read about love, sacrificial service, mercy and grace.  I want to extend the hand of kindness and share with the poor, orphaned, tired and alone.  I want to honor the glorious gift which I have been given in grace by offering all my efforts, time and tender to Kingdom Business.  The problem is no one wants to hear the Words that the Lord has for this nation.  Just like the ancient Jewish Nation, beloved of God, we are facing coming judgment for our wickedness, folly and down-right declaration of unwillingness to humble ourselves so that God would consider healing our nation.  The Word that the Lord continues to place in front of my eyes and in my heart are those of Jeremiah 6 and 7.  In this period of Bible History the Jews were determined to go their own road.  God, out of mercy and love sent Jeremiah to announce to them the coming price for their rebellion.  They would be swept away by a foreign nation and taken into slavery, many of them to die or never return to their homeland.

We stand in the same moment of decision.  What we do next will dictate the fate of this nation.  Although I, as well as many other Christians are praying for the people of this blessed nation to turn away from their sin and seek God through humility and supplication, it is painfully evident that we have passed the tipping point.  People love their sin, their riches, their lives, their false gods and their freedom more than they love the Lord.  People do not want to say it but we are just about to enter the “Fall of Our Beloved Nation”.  The most painful part of the entire circumstance is that it could be avoided if we would just humble ourselves, turn away from our sin and cry out to God.  But we are either too blind or too arrogant to humble ourselves in such a manner.  Besides the mainstream has convinced most folks that there is really nothing wrong in America.  Deception abounds, and wherever falsehood and illusion rules satan is present and seeking dramatic entrance toward command performance.  We are about to see such a time in this nation.  Our only hope is flee from the judgment to come straight to the waiting Arms of Jesus Christ the King.  He will not only set you free from your burden of sin and death, but you will become part of the Coming Kingdom which has no end.

It is after all about choice, why do you think the enemy banters that word around with impunity.  Choice is all that anyone has ever had.  He has set before us a choice, but there is rapidly coming a time when that “open enrollment” time will pass.  Please don’t find yourselves on the wrong side of history and eternity.  Choose salvation, choose Christ.  Father I pray that as a country we see the national travesty that we have created.  I pray that we turn away from our present course and set ourselves on a path toward Your glory.  I pray for our humility, and fervent cries for mercy and Your continued Hand of Blessing and Protection on what was once a dedicated family of believers yearning to do what was right and true.  Forgive us Father.  In the Exceptional Name of Christ.  Amen.
