Dr.
David Jeremiah asked the question, “We seem to have lost all
interest in the Christian Values that built America. What does that
mean for our Country's future?”
My
answer is this...America has forgotten the old path that our forefathers traveled and they have sought for what they call "The
American Dream." One of prosperity and progress, giving a place
for greed to capture the hearts of many, opening the doors for deceit
and deception in all areas of trade.
The
love of money and the desire to have plenty has caused many to forget
their families at home, leaving them to the daycare system and even
to the streets. No time for nurturing or discipline, no time for God
and His plan for their lives.
The
desires of the flesh have overridden the desire for God and many
homes have been broken causing God's plan for marriage (one woman for
one man for life) to be cast aside. The result has been the
development of much sadness and anger. This has been the reason for
much rebellion, drug use, and unwanted babies which has led to many
abortions.
Many
of those who have been leading our country have no Christian Values.
Not all, but many have given in to lower their standard to fit into
society. This has not only taken place in the arena of government but
also in our spiritual world. Men and women have lost their desire to
follow the standard of God because of seeking "The American
Dream."
Seeking
to fulfill every desire known to mankind has opened the door to much
evil. We can see where this philosophy has led. America built this
dream in the sand of pleasure and desire and the waves of Judgment
are coming fast upon her shores. My suggestion is to be waving the
banner of SURRENDER to God Almighty, for He alone can and will save
us.
Matthew
7:24, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a
rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded
upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and
doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came,
and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great
was the fall of it.”
