America Decides.

Yes, it is true America the Beautiful, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave gets to decide very soon, who will lead us for the next four years. WHAT WILL YOU DECIDE???

I am convinced that America is at and is coming to a major crossroads, when it comes to our standard of living. We have permitted all types of unrighteousness and abominations to enter into our government, our work places, our schools, our churches and our homes. All of these things in a nation that has been a Christian nation, and now there is a debate over if we are a Christian nation or not. I know if left up to our current President, we will not be. But as for me and my household we will serve the Lord.

In the past few years our faith in God, has been challenged, sometimes to the point that some are not sure anymore. The wicked ways of man today are flooding our airways and Internet systems so rapidly, and we are calling, wrong things right and right things wrong. There is so much that it is creeping into our churches and places of worship. We must surely be living in the End Times.

We must have reached the time that the Apostle Paul was writing of as he wrote in II Timothy 3: 1-5. He said in the last days we will have perilous times, or troublesome times. Read these verses. When we survey the church scene it would appear many fit in verse 5, (these words) Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. we as Christians are being ask by religious leaders to accept the unrighteous ways of man into our churches, and call it OK.

I am sorry but that is wrong and does not please our God. All over America someone or some group is rising up to plead their cause, for unrighteousness and sinful ways. But I ask you, where are all the Christians gone? Why don't we stand up for Jesus? Like the old hymn reminds us to do. All at once Christianity is becoming a word that very few wish to talk about. remember to be a Christian means to be Christ like. That's why they were first called Christians at Antioch, because they followed Jesus Christ. Can America, and will America stand up for Jesus, in our homes, churches and so on or will we fall to the ways of Satan?

The main change we need for America is to see the fulfillment of II Chronicles 7:14. If my people will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and will turn from their wicked ways. My friend we need to call on God with our whole heart and ask Him for forgiveness, so that we can stand tall for Him in this evil day.

I know God has Blessings for His people, but we must stand brave and true for Him and let the world know that we are Christians and we are not ashamed of the gospel. Romans 1:16. In closing I believe God is calling His people to a greater awareness of Him, and a closer walk with Him.

WILL YOU DECIDE TO FOLLOW THE LORD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS,

OR THE DEVIL AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS?

Righteousness Exalteth a Nation

Righteousness Exalteth a Nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14:34).

The word righteousness is defined as, just upright, honorable and Godly. Therefore it becomes an attribute of God. It describes His very nature. for our God, the God of the universe is no less than perfect, just upright and holy. It is His desire that all of his creation become like Him.

However many nations and people down through time have fallen victim to sin, the very thing that is a reproach to God. It is because of sin and disobedience that has brought us to were we are today as a nation.

As a nation founded on Godly principles, we once stood for righteousness and the things that bring glory to God. But time has eroded the very core of our belief system. At one time in America, it was shouted from the housetops and from the churches, that God is real and in Him all things are possible.

But now we are to busy with self, and the church is too concerned with pleasing the community that we have forgotten God and His ways. We have forgotten to please our very creator. when man looks to himself for direction and understanding, we fail every time. It is only in the firm hands of God that we are secure and safe.

America as a nation in the last few years has taken our eyes off of God and His ways, and as a result we are suffering for it. these actions are the results of our current leadership of who many times do not even believe in God. I say this because Jesus said, "You shall know a tree by the fruit it bears. Our current President speaks Christianity with his mouth but his actions do not reveal the same.

God has spoken in His Word concerning His people, that this people serve me with their mouth but their heart is far from me. Such is the case of our leadership in the government, and in many of our churches today.

I don't know about you, but first of all I love God with all my might and secondly I love America, one of the greatest nations that God has ever permitted to exist. At one time we worshiped our God with our whole heart, but now we are considered crazy or off the wall if we name the name of the Lord. America is in need of a revival that will sweep through our churches and the hearts of men and women everywhere, bringing Holy Spirit conviction to our hearts and causing repentance for our actions.

Yes, it would be the same thing God spoke to Solomon in II Chronicles 7:14. It is the only answer for America. Our hope is not in our leadership, but in trusting in God. We seem to have forgotten that God and God alone is the creator of all things, including jobs and everything we have need of. When sin is permitted to reign in the hearts and lives of people, then righteousness is put on the back burner and soon it is not of much importance.

Such is the case of our great nation as a whole, we have simply put God and His Righteousness, to the side so we can be politically correct. When will we as Christians learn to remember God's divine law principles, that what we sow we will reap. If we continue to sow unto unrighteous actions, then that is what America will reap a harvest of.

How then, do we turn things around and begin to seek God and His Righteousness? I believe it is very simple. First, we as Christians must begin to pray and seek the face of God, for our nation, our families and everyone around us. Also we must ask God to give us Pastors after His heart that will not be afraid to preach against sin. Those who will stand for Righteousness not paychecks.

We must begin to seek God with all of our hearts and trust Him to help make a difference in America as the Light of the World.
