As one calamity after another strikes the U.S. whether they be natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, or drought, or attacks by terrorists and financial downturns, the nightly news seems to be dominated by bad news. We can no longer claim it is just the result of better news coverage as those who keep statistics have now shown that natural disasters of every sort are definitely on the increase. What is the answer?
I dare to suggest that we are the cause. Not like the liberal idiots suggest when they blame America for all the terrorism because we dare to get involved with Islam around the world. I suggest we are the cause because we willfully left our covenant relationship with the God of the Bible. When our forefathers came to this land, they all entered into covenant relationship with Him and as a result we, their children have enjoyed the blessings and prosperity of that relationship. A parallel is written about in the Book of Jeremiah.
Thus says the LORD: "What injustice have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me, have followed idols, and have become idolaters? – Jer. 2:5
Israel began with a covenant relationship with God but then they turned against Him and God asked them why? Israel didn’t realize their blessings were caused by God and not their own intelligence or industry. They wandered from God’s commands and looked to other nations. They began to depend on ‘the arm of flesh’ and it failed them!
For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns--broken cisterns that can hold no water. – Jer.2:13
The United States of America is doing the exact same thing and we are beginning to experience the same results. We have forsaken the God of the Bible; no longer mentioning Him in our schools turning instead to the idolatry of Humanism. The 10 year anniversary of the terrorist attack on 9/11 was recently memorialized in New York and the mayor would not let God be a part of it. His excuse was ‘He didn’t want to offend any other religion!’ He didn’t even know enough about the true God to differentiate between Him and all the false gods that are so freely celebrated in our land!
Also on your skirts is found the blood of the lives of the poor innocents. I have not found it by secret search, But plainly on all these things. Yet you say, 'Because I am innocent, surely His anger shall turn from me.' Behold, I will plead My case against you, Because you say, 'I have not sinned.' – Jer. 2:34, 35
As a nation we offend God regularly as we kill 1.6 million babies a year by abortion – the total count is now up to 60 million. And then we wonder why a spirit of murder is released on our nation! We are giving our country to Mexicans and Muslims because we kill our babies and they keep them, often using tax-payer dollars to care for them.
Our church families surrender their most precious gift, their children, to the public school where they teach against God. The churches say, ‘We have a great Sunday School program’ where they teach the children about God for ½ to 1 hour a week but then turn the children over to the public schools where they are taught 30 or more hours a week the doctrines of humanism, homosexuality, promiscuity, evolution and socialism. This says nothing about the so-called ‘socialization’ process that is going on from the other kids who do not practice the teachings of Christ. If my math is correct, that means the public school has up to 60 times more influence on the children than the church has. And yet, I do not see Pastors teaching against this practice or encouraging home schooling.
Our politicians promise anything to the people just to get elected, full knowing they cannot fulfill their pledges. Washington DC is filled with self-seekers and liars and no party is exempt from them. The news media which claims special rights in our system because they were supposed to be the messengers of truth for the electorate are mostly concerned with their own power and agendas. Jeremiah speaks loudly to this country -
“Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backslidings will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and the fear of Me is not in you," Says the Lord GOD of hosts. – Jer. 2:19
America is losing its foundation, the family, as divorce now exceeds 50%. This is a deadly statistic for any nation as almost every institution is based upon the family. Psalm 11 verse 3 asks, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The answer is, NOT MUCH! When over 52% of our children are living in single parent homes there is not the proper teaching of faithfulness, of commitment, of kindness, of honoring your word, and a whole host of principles a society depends upon.
We have opened the gates of our country and allowed a ‘Trojan Horse’ to be brought in. The judgment of our own wickedness is indeed upon us and we will see that it is an evil and bitter thing. We have made money our god and we are about to see our financial system come collapsing down around us. All the other things that we have made more important than our relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ will not save us from the calamity ahead.
But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble; for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah. – Jer. 2:28
Our only hope is the word the prophet Hosea gave to a backsliding Israel,
Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. – Hosea 6:1
I, for one, intend to do just that. If we do not do this, who we elect for leaders will matter little.
