Before I write this, I must say I stand guilty as charged as well for being lukewarm about America. It's through the conviction of the Holy Spirit that I write this. I will focus on abortion in this thread.
What ticks me off is how Christians can be so blind to such wickedness in America! Where is the HATRED for sins in America these days? I'm talking BLATANT in your face sins! Are we too afraid to offend someone? Do we believe that we should be more "tolerant" of other ideas? Here are some sins that our nation try and find ways of justifying(sins such as these in Romans 1:28-32):
1)abortion(murder)
2)homosexuality
3)pride of America's wickedness
4)adultery
It makes me even more saddened to see America elect Barack Obama who supports abortion, among other things, like socialism/communism(I will focus on one aspect-abortion)! You were lectured by professors in college, read, and/or told by friends about how bad the holocaust of Hitler was. I'm going to tell America that they have sponsored a terrible holocaust for a long time! Abortion is murder! We have killed multitudes(more than all the major wars casualties put together, some estimates-50 million). America as a nation, elected an abortionist! To those who voted for him, have blood on their hands! The Word of God is clear about murder:
The Lord says he hates: "....hands that shed innocent blood," Proverbs 6:16-17
"Thou shalt not kill." Exodus 20:13
God will not bless nations who turn from God. Which is exactly what America has done. As a whole, America is so Godless today, if it weren't by God's mercy, He would consume it by fire and destruction! The Lord desires America repent(turn to the Savior Jesus in faith as the forgiver of their sins) and He is willing that none perishes(2 Peter 3:9).
"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34
"The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." Psalm 9:17
"As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people." Proverbs 28:15
Abel's blood cried out from the ground when he was murdered by Cain(Genesis 4:10). America is guilty as a cold-blooded murderer for butchering millions and millions of babies! And to those who support it and/or voted for an abortionist are guilty as well! The babies blood cry out to God! And He is hearing it!
Woe, not only to America, but to all nations in the world who choose sin and forget God!
Where are the Christians who HATE sin?(Psalm 97:10, Romans 12:9) Where are those who are standing up for God without compromise against wickedness and workers of iniquity?(Psalm 94:16, Ephesians 5:11) This is where we preach the gospel so that people will get help with their sins! Where are the Christians who are being persecuted for standing up for the Lord?(John 15:18-20, 2 Timothy 3:12, Matthew 5:10-12, 1 Peter 4:16)
"For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God" John 12:43
John 12:43 speaks of the Pharisees looking for man's praise more than the praise of God. Christians act like the Pharisees when they want more praise from man than from God. Where are the Christians who care less what their approval rating is by man, but seek the praise of God? Too many Christians today are conforming to the world becoming BLIND to things of righteousness! Which leads me back to this question. How could many professed Christians be blinded to the fact that Obama supported abortion? Was it because of ignorance? Or maybe because they just sit back and do nothing when they see wickedness? It's to no surprise that many who watch murderous/violent TV and play violent video games become NUMB to the realities of murder and evil!
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
When will we wake up? When will we humble ourselves before the Lord and pray? When will we seek His face? Oh, how often we forget what the Lord saved us from! When will we stop being partakers of wickedness by condoning it, accepting it as a nation? The Lord will heal our lands when us Christians rise up, stand apart from the world and pray! When we stand up boldly for Christ and preach against sin, we will win many souls for Christ! This is how our land will be healed! May the Lord change ALL our hearts, to be bold for Christ........He died for you and saved you from eternal punishment, a gift we do not deserve! Why is it so hard to show our graditude and love back to the Savior? He wants a people who are not swayed by public opinion but who boldly proclaim Him and His righteousness! Many in the Word were killed for standing up for Christ without compromise. We cannot compromise one ounce! We as Christians need to be a light unto the world!
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:13-16
And in everything, do it in love and gentleness but WITHOUT compromise for the truth!
