God Save America


2 Chronicles 7:14

"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."

In that Old Testament verse, the Lord lays out the ultimate prescription for America. Political parties will not stop the downward spiral that our society is caught in. No institute of man can stop, much less slow down this downbound train. In the book of Psalms (127:1) we read that "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." If the Lord is not at the foundation of any movement to right our beloved nation, any effort will be labouring in vain. We must start with fervent prayer for God to show our country mercy and for Christ's own people to stand up and make a difference. We flout the Law of God daily, with 1.8 million abortions annually, we are awash in the blood of our youth. If the Lord heard the cries of Abel's blood (Genesis 4:10), how loud the crying must be with 47 million (and counting) unborn lives lost to the holocaust of abortion. With states approval of "civil unions" and gay marriage, we are ignoring the family structure that God himself designed. With a culture full of the "porn lifestyle" and "if it feels good, do it" , we worship at the altar of sexual impropriety daily. God will not bless our America until we, as a people, turn to him. We need to continue to pray for mercy. We also need to stand up and take action to spread the Gospel of Christ to every person, off every street corner, in every land. Finally, we need to stand up for the morality of the Holy Bible. Anything less is a dereliction of our duty as Christians. When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you are purchased with a price. Jesus went to the Cross and made the ultimate sacrifice so that you can live. There is absolutely no way for us to earn our position in God's family. Our own riteousness is as filthy rags. We can and must, however, spread the gospel and stand up for what is right. It is our duty.
