The Battles We Face in America

These are terrible things we are dealing with! Our thoughts and prayers go out to all involved and affected by these calamities. Yet, this is not America’s greatest problem. Our number one issue is sin. As a nation, we have left our God! We have implemented and made law legal abortions, legal same sex marriages, and legal LBGQT issues. We promote gambling to fund our educational systems. Alcohol and illicit drug use are rampant.

There are 14.5 million alcoholics in the United States today (no longer called alcoholism but alcohol use disorder). There are 31.9 million illegal drug addicts in the U.S. today. Alcoholics and drug addicts total combined are 46.4 million. We have failed to mention our obsession with pornography. Forty million Americans regularly visit these sites.

We watch in unbelief at the actions of our government officials in Washington and the decisions they make. We begin to wonder about the future of our nation. We ask: “Is God bringing judgment on our land because of our wickedness”.

As Christians, we know God is in control and those who practice sin will answer for it. We, as a nation, need to go back to the old paths, seek God, and walk in His ways (Jeremiah 6:16). We cannot change what the heathen, ungodly, and morally corrupt do. We can change what we do and cry out to God to restore this land. We can make certain we are Christians and that we are letting our lights shine bright in this dark landscape. We can teach our children and grandchildren and all who will listen to seek the Lord and live under His rule.

2 Chronicles 7:14 gives us the remedy. How I pray America would listen! “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”.

God bless you and stay true to the Word,
