Jeremiah 2:11 "Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no
gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not
profit."
Did you know that the nations who's god is not
the God of Creation have not changed their gods since they were formed?
In contrast our great nation, the United States of America, was founded
on the One True God, and we have changed our god. This nation was
established with God being in everything...in government, in schools, in
the presidential office, and in the courts. It is not so today.
People
have been deceived into thinking the US Constitution states separation
of church and state. It does not! The First Amendment included in the
Bill of Rights states..."Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" It
NEVER says that government cannot participate in religious activities.
In fact, the founding fathers prayed to the God of Creation
continuously, looking to Him for guidance in their decision making and
even quoting scripture in their speeches before the people and before
the Congress.
The United States of America is a great
nation. It is, however, being destroyed from within. Why do you think
this nation has been so blessed over the years? Because we have been
under the protection of the God of Creation. Should we continue in the
path we're on, I believe God's hand of protection may be removed. He is a
jealous God.
Exodus 20:5-6" "Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto
thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments." Because we
were established as a Christian nation and the world sees us as a
Christian nation, we have a responsibility to follow God's laws and
maintain our testimony before them. Not doing so, will warrant God's
chastisement. God's chastisement is God showing His love towards us.
It's His attempt to draw us back to Him. He only chastises those He
loves.
2Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are
called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land." It's not too late. We can
still heal our nation. We must ask for forgiveness for our part in our
nation's spiritual decline. We must pray for our leaders and pray for
their decisions. We must vote based on God's Word and not on our pocket
book. We cannot expect our leaders to follow God's leadership, if we
vote in those who don't follow God.
