The Church Fell Down

The Word of God, the Holy Bible, from the words of Jesus Christ commanded that we, as churches, are to take care of the widows, the fatherless, and the orphans. When our country was established, the founding fathers adhered to that premise. It did not make provision for our government to have to take care of that need. Why, because the church did what they were supposed to do. Everyone else not mentioned in the above people groups were responsible for their own livelihood and they didn't leach on our society. They did what was necessary to live and provide for their families.

God has always mandated that His people be responsible for those who are unable to take care of themselves and it appears that our society has forgotten what our Heavenly Father has taught over the centuries to His prophets and religious leaders. When the United States began, it was the responsibility of the churches to teach our young people their education. It was Bible based and was extremely effective. Just take a look at our history and you will see the positive results. When the church abdicated its role in welfare and education, our government was all to eager to take over and did so. For many years because of the established curriculum in our schools education continued to be successful. However, as the moral fiber of our country began to deteriorate education followed suit. When prayer was removed from our schools, the new order was well on its way. The liberals and the progressives finally were getting their teeth in the mallibel minds of our young people. They have filled their heads with principles that have accelerated the moral decay.

Look at where we are today. We have the largest welfare state in our hemisphere, crime is at an all time high, illicit sex is rampant, sexual disease is out of control, and alternative lifestyles diametrically opposed to the Bible are being advertised as viable lifestyles. You know what? If God doesn't bring judgment on the United States, then He needs to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrha. How low do we have to stupe before the church rises up and begins once again to take responsibility to elevate the moral base of our nation. America needs the Lord badly. What an oxymoron, but true. II Chronicles 5:17 has stood as a standard over all generations to give us the agenda that we must follow to be restored to the graces of the Father. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven....." This is the only way we will ever see our country return to the prominence it has enjoyed on the world scene in years past. This is a Christian nation. It was founded on Judeo-Christian principles based on the Ten Commandments and the Words of our Lord Jesus Christ.

America, W-A-K-E U-P !!!! The government is not the answer. Living off of other peoples' hard work while you live a lazy non-responsible life is a major sin. Even the insect world knows better than that. Why we dumber than the insects? I admonish and advise you to go to the Book of Proverbs and not only read but study them and learn how to live and have the blessing of the Lord in your lives. Then teach others around you to do the same.

Father, may your Word come alive in all who read it and may you give them the courage to put your Word in action in their lives. Amen!
