The Rapid Demise of a Once Godly Nation

I don’t know about you, but I find myself overwhelmed by the rapid demise of our once Godly nation. It seems as though only yesterday God was near the forefront of most everything in our society. Our talk often included references to Him; our actions reflected our commitment to Him; the very fabric of our nation was intertwined with Godly influence. However, something drastic has occurred over the last few years. Certainly, our nation has slowly progressed away from God, but as I said, something drastic has taken our nation by storm.

How is it that a man once revered for his great victories at the 1976 Olympics is now finds himself even more revered for having left his wife and family to pursue a transgender lifestyle? Notice, I say “revered!” What has become of our nation? We should be hanging our heads in shame but rather we are speaking up for and out for this national travesty. Rather than recognizing the failure of our nation to take a stand, we are celebrating this failure as a great move forward.

The real failure is in the church. I do not mean to deride the church but I believe ongoing failures within the church and the church’s failure to speak up and speak out over the past 50 years or so has created the climate that we now find ourselves in. Consider what Isaiah said: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who exchange darkness for light, and light for darkness; who exchange bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own sight!” (Isaiah 5:20-21 ESV). I am reading comments from supposed pastors and church leaders who are standing up for what Bruce Jenner has done. I am in awe, or should I say, overwhelmed with sadness by such a thing.

The storm that has overtaken our nation is our decision to call evil good and good evil. Political correctness coupled with our refusal to call sin—sin; to call wrong—wrong; to call bad—bad; to call evil—evil has created the climate our nation is now in. The time is right around the corner, truth is it is here now, when those who do take a stand and speak out will be ridiculed, criticized and will suffer harm for doing so. Without a major, earthshaking revival sweeping across our land soon, anyone who does take a stand for what is right will be facing public persecution and possibly prosecution for doing so.

Pray for revival! Pray for a move of God! Pray for men and women of God who are not afraid of what man can do rather being afraid of the soon coming judgment of Almighty God upon this once Godly nation!
