Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach (disgrace) to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)
It has been said that when French statesman, Alexis de Tocqueville came to America in the early 1800s he reported his assessment of America’s greatness. He said the secret of her greatness was not in the forests, the mines, the steel industry or her agricultural production. He said, “Not until I went to the churches and heard the pulpits aflame with righteousness that I knew the secret of her greatness.” He concluded with this statement: “America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”
Today in America killing unborn human babies in their mother’s womb has been legalized and sixty million babies have been aborted. Body parts from aborted babies are being sold and nothing is done about it. Sodomy has been legalized with same-sex marriage not only legalized, it is being promoted. Beverage alcohol consumption is a blight on the nation. Hatred resulting in cold blooded murder is an epidemic. One could go on with a long list of America’s sins, a reproach and a disgrace.
Let us not think that the things God calls sin in the Bible are no longer sin. We desperately need a spiritual awakening. It will not originate in Washington D.C. nor should we expect it to happen there. A spiritual awakening must begin in churches and in individuals who are hungry for renewal. I believe God is calling America back to Godliness and greatness. Please join me in praying for our nation.
