I ran across a recent quote by Nobel economics laureate Paul Krugman:
“The lights are going out all over America . . . America is now on the unlit, unpaved road to nowhere.”
Indeed, if you look around, the cardiac patient is on the table, hooked up to IVs but the medications are doing any good to a patient that has lived far too fast, on borrowed time (money!) for far too long!
I also ran across some recent YouTube videos by self-help guru, Tony Robbins. I actually watched the videos which were posted on a Christian blog over at The Economic Collapse. Makes for interesting viewing. The second of the two videos I found more worthwhile.
We’ve covered topics about the Decline of the United States here at May He Increase. We asked the question “Are We Past the Point of No Return?” We have even looked at what could possibly be one instance of America In Biblical Prophecy.
America: we need to repent! Christians: we need to get back to the basics of our faith. We need to start walking our talk! This goes firstly for me.
My family and I are partly responsible for this financial crisis America finds itself in. We are just as guilty as the next guy for buying stuff we didn’t need. We need to repent for getting our eyes off God and putting them on the false gods and idols of comfort and entertainment. We need to humble ourselves and seek the Lord’s face again.
As Christians, I’m sure many of us can see what we are starting to go through as possibly a judgment of God. And why shouldn’t God judge America? I think the question is: How can God not judge America soon?
Think I’m over-emphasizing this point? Check out these statistics from the National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families.
By the time I finished the list, I felt nauseated and like a dark spirit entered the room.
You might be asking: where is the linkage between America’s financial crisis and pornography? Friend, it’s all related! Look at what we are choosing over our Creator! How much longer do you think God is going to allow this?
“For we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the Lord that the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” –Genesis 19:13.
You’ve probably heard of “this place”: Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ruth Graham, the wife of Billy Graham, had this to say of America and its relationship to Sodom and Gomorrah:
“If God doesn’t judge America, He will need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!”
Wake up American Christians! Let us all repent, turn from our wicked ways, and seek God’s face for our bankrupt–in every way–nation!
May He Increase!
