America is never mentioned in the Bible, not once. But it would be hard to dispute that our nation has enjoyed God’s favor in our 239 years of existence. Whether measured by material wealth, faith, technological and medical advances, unselfish aid to the hurting nations of the world, or in many cases standing up for the good guys militarily against the bad guys, someone high up has been clearly watching out for us.
But in my generation, we seem to be ushering God to the curb, and out of our culture and our national conscience. He is no longer welcome in our courthouses, in our schools, by our press, and by our elected officials. And two days ago, our Supreme Court affirmed our culture’s re-drawing of God’s design for our families. The photo below just makes me want to lose dinner, not because practicing homosexuals exist (love one another), not because of the behavior, but because the representation by our Emperor spits in the face of God’s grand plan. He designed the family, who are we to change it ? How dare we !
Readers might want to examine God’s response to the nation of Israel several times in the Old Testament when the Jews pushed God out of their lives, worshipped other gods (in today’s world, money, jobs, popular culture), and succumbed to physical temptations proscribed and condemned by Scripture. Would it surprise anyone that God may not be smiling on America as He once did ? WHAT THE HECK !
