The recent election and political situation is a reminder of how desperately our nation needs a spiritual awakening. In recent years we have seen America drift far from our great spiritual heritage.
In God we trust is still on our coins, but too many trust in political power, greed and dishonesty. Someday God will judge America for her sins. Many devout Christians are deeply troubled by the past few weeks.
Socialism is taking over the media, political leaders, education, and internet. The elite and liberal media often express their anti-God philosophy. Whatever is right they call it wrong.
The editor of U.S. News and World Report expressed it well in an editorial, “Where have our values gone?” According to the editorial, three out of every four Americans think we are in moral and spiritual decline. Two out of three think America is off track. The article said television and the music industry despises religion, marriage and respect for authority. The forces of evil dominate many areas of America life.
Many religious people have denied the absolute truth of God’s Word and called it pluralism. Other god’s have been accepted and we call this multiculturalism. We have lost our spiritual sanity and changed our values to fit the culture.
Look at America today. We have violence in our homes and shootings in our schools. We have drugs in our veins and sex on our minds. We have become a selfish people and accepted the secular humanistic approach to life. Our prayer should be Wake up America and return to God.
