When we celebrated Independence Day on July 4th we basically celebrated what the Lord gave us as our founding fathers testified. Now that Liberals are busy tearing down what the Lord gave us through our founding fathers, I’m wondering what kind of outrages many in the nation will want to celebrate in the future.
To appreciate the freedoms we received at our founding, when Christ set us free, we must compare them with some of the stupid decisions that are enslaving us today. Our founders never gave anyone freedom from the guilt of sinful living because they followed the Bible and that is something the Bible does not do apart from repentance and returning to the Lord.
We live in an age that acts like the Lord is not watching; but, Proverbs 15:3 tells us: The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good. This admonition applies to both the world and the Church; but, it seems to me that while the world is pretty much ignoring this admonition, so does the Church when it refuses to be involved in stopping evil politics while it pretends one candidate is as evil as the other!
I remembered this scripture while in this morning’s men’s Bible study from Genesis 15:16 on how the Lord is not only watching but keeping score. If you get one thing right in life, please let it be getting to know and loving Life’s Score Keeper because only He can forgive your sins! The Lord had told Moses that the Israelites could not yet have the land of the Amorites because the Amorite’s sin had not yet met full measure but God knew the day it would be full measure! Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.
Some of you may argue with me about whether or not America rebelled and became a fallen nation; but, if we look at some of the hair brained decisions this nation has made since our fall in 1963, it points to a fall. Let us look at some of the decisions made since America rebelled:
The taking of innocent life was approved in America in 1973! Abortion is the slaughter of a totally innocent life for the so called well being of another which may not be the mother but the boyfriend or parents or others. Sacrificing an innocent life for another is so foreign to the Lord that when the Bible tells about the Israelites sacrificing children by passing them trough fire while worshipping Molech, the Lord said that was something that never even entered His mind! Jeremiah 32:25 They built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I had not commanded them nor had it entered My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Talk about a fallen nation. The taking of an innocent life hardly came up as abortion was approved based on a woman’s right to privacy! Do any of you recall this scripture being an issue? I Corinthians 6:19-20 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. Or this from Exodus 23:7 — do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty. This is why women who have had abortion cannot be free of sadness afterward.
Hardly a day passes when there are one or more attempts by Liberals to deny someone their basic rights and often children are the victims because they love to Lord it over children. In 2004, a boy was told he could not share his present of a candy cane for each child in his class with a message on its connection to Christ. When the school officials were initially defeated for saying no, they went to the defense that little kids do not have First Amendment Rights! Since 2004, it has become more apparent that we Americans live in a nation where we don’t have any rights unless the Liberals grant it.
The founders based our laws and institutions on the wisdom in the Bible. They kept homosexuality the unspeakable problem. The Bible condemns homosexuality in many places, such as all the Israelites that had to die battling the tribe of Benjamin over one homosexual incident (see the last three chapters of Judges). I may be in trouble here for quoting the Bible! Paul said Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and Christ confirmed it in Revelation 21:8 But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Look at this garbage that came out of the left when the Supreme Court ruled that Hobby Lobby did not have to provide for four of the twenty birth control medications that could cause a baby to be aborted:
Hillary Clinton “It’s very troubling that a salesclerk at Hobby Lobby who needs contraception, which is pretty expensive, is not going to get that service through her employer’s health-care plan because her employer doesn’t think she should be using contraception.” To Hillary, it seems the right to contraception is a constitutional right. The founders were not into the government giving benefits and even made fun of the idea! Hillary, that is why you cannot find the right to free contraceptives or any other monetary benefits in the Constitution for other than veterans. But on the other hand, who pays attention to the Constitution any more, certainly not the president we have now.
Way back before he ran for election I knew things about Obama that really upset me. Such, as when an Illinois senator, he sponsored a bill allowing euthanasia of children and then was the sole voter for it. He was a professor of the Constitution but his major complaint against the Constitution was because it did not promise what it had to do for the people. Somehow he missed that America was not founded as a socialistic country.
Which leads me to the decision America made concerning this man, who had never run anything, would somehow be good for America! Isn’t it too bad that America’s mass media chose not to out this Flim Flam Man running for president?
If the preceding decisions are not the decisions of a fallen nation, I have no idea what would constitute a fallen nation.
