"God Bless America" is a well-known phrase throughout the land. The Bible tells us how to receive His blessings. Yet, America is running in the opposite direction.
By their example, our forefathers taught how to make America great. Our nation was founded "Under God" for the purpose of freedom in worship (a privilege that brings God's blessings every time). Our coins are a reminder of their heart, "In God We Trust" (where God always looks first). The Ten Commandments were their moral guideline (the system set up by God for a better way of life). Men believed so strongly that they fought and died for the cause of America and Pilgrims risked their lives to be a part of it.
Yet, today, we see a new breed of ‘would be’ forefathers who; vote their wallet instead of their conscience, dictate what we should believe to justify their lifestyle, look the other way rather than stand for Godly values, wear as many faces as it takes to reach prominent positions, and attend church only for special occasions while having no intentions of worship.
If our forefathers could see us now, they'd surely think they'd served and died in vain. The shame that has been brought upon America is heard and seen in the news and is coming into our neighborhood and homes.
For every occasion we remain silent, indifferent, or divided due to religious differences ... we have nobody to blame but ourselves. It's a myth to expect God's continued blessings when our Christianity is a joke to Him.
Instead of asking God to Bless America, maybe we should be asking why He would. If Christians don't care enough to stand, then why should He? Mt.12:25-30, I Sa. 12:16.
It makes no difference whether in our home, school, church, job, community, state, or country ... wherever God is excluded, Satan has free reign (I Ki. 18:18b). In our land of the free, we have set Satan free.

Committed Works: Exploring Biblical Symbolism and Prophecy
Delve into the profound symbolism and prophecies of the Bible, where celestial battles, divine horses, and apocalyptic visions intertwine with human destiny. This exploration reveals the layers and complexities of scriptural texts, offering insights into their timeless relevance and spiritual depth.
A Call to Unity of the Church
In a world rife with division, the church's unity stands as a beacon of hope and a testament to divine truth over human doctrine. This unity is not merely a lofty ideal but a practical necessity, rooted deeply in scriptural teachings that emphasize the importance of collective faith and action. Understanding and living by God's word, as opposed to following merely human interpretations, can be the difference between spiritual triumph and failure.
