America The Apostate 09/19/03

In the Holy Bible it tells us of a day of great apostasy or a falling
away from God and the things of God. This is to take place in the days
preceding the coming of the Antichrist, the Tribulation and the return
of Jesus Christ.

In my opinion, that day has arrived in America and the rest of the
world. The attempt to remove the name of God from all public places
and ceremonies, the ordination of a gay Episcopal priest, the violence,
the decline of moral authority, the increasingly secular society which
is being forced on America by a handful of determined zealots herald
the apostate condition of the United States.

These people will tell you that the removal of God’s name from public
monuments is merely an effort to establish the separation of church and
state. They say that they are merely following the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights. They say that it’s not right for Godly symbols to
be publicly displayed without also displaying the symbols of Muslims,
Hindus and every other religion.

This is so bogus. First of all, the Constitution was written by men
who believed in God the Creator. Thomas Jefferson said in the very
first sentence of the Declaration of Independence, and I quote,
“To assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station
to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them.”

George Washington was known to be a praying man, even the Congress of
the United States opens their sessions with a prayer by their Chaplain.

So did our forefathers, the framers of the Constitution intend for us
to do away with the Judeo Christian principles on which this country
was founded? There is not one shred of evidence in any of our federal
papers which say so.

On the contrary, the mention of God is prominent in the writings of our
early patriots and public officials.

The apostasy goes deeper than just the sordid attempt to remove God
from public life. The morals of this nation are headed for the sewer.
There is a concerted effort to normalize homosexuality and belittle the
importance of marriage and family.

People openly scorn the name of God and say that the Bible is out of
touch with today’s society.

Revisionist history, humanism, new age, the taking of unborn life and
the “If it feels good do it” don’t worry about the consequences
attitude which is inundating the society of this nation is appalling
and apostate.

The Bible says in essence that man’s own brilliance will be his undoing
and it’s happening every day. Unless this nation turns back to God
there will be a terrible price to pay for the folly of listening to
those misguided individuals who think they’re smarter than God.

Sodom and Gomorra were totally destroyed for their rampant sins. The
Hebrew children were banished from the promised land for forsaking
their God. Why will America be any different?

I don’t really worry about Osama Bin Ladin and his fanatics destroying
this country. I don’t believe that there is a nation or a combination
of nations on earth who can defeat us militarily.

What concerns me is America’s rampant apostasy and losing divine
protection.

I sometimes wonder how long God will put up with us.

Pray for our troops.

What do you think?

God Bless America
