Soap Box Archives Falling Away The Bible speaks of a time in the last days before the coming of the Antichrist when a great apostasy will take place, which in practical terms means a falling away and in this case a falling away from God and Godly living and beliefs. We only have to look around us to tell that the apostasy is under way and is happening all around us. President Obama recently made the statement that America was no longer a Christian nation and even more recently he remarked that America was one of the largest Muslim nations, referring to the number of Islamic believers we have in this country. Instead of traveling around the world trying to placate tinhorn dictatorships and regimes who support terror, he should get to know his own country and if he did he would find that America is indeed still a Christian nation although Christians are coming under increasingly heavy attack as each day passes. There is talk in the Obama Administration about limiting deductions for charitable giving which is a direct slap in the face of the churches of this nation and the more we turn our backs on our Creator the worse things are going to get. You need go no farther than your television to see the signs of the decay and degradation that is becoming the norm these days. One of the top shows on Broadway is based on a story about a young girl who doesn't know who her father is, only that it's one of three men who her mother was intimate with out of wedlock. The media is trying to make a hero out of a Kansas abortionist who murdered sixty thousand unborn babies. While all but ignoring the wanton murder of a United States soldier on the streets of America by a Muslim fanatic. Understand that I am not defending the murder of Dr. Tiller. It was totally, unequivocally wrong, but how about an Islamic act of terror in Little Rock, Arkansas? Shouldn't the media be warning the American public about the existence of domestic terrorists instead of glorifying a dead baby killer who murdered what would amount to the population of the town I was born in twice over. Shouldn't it be a hate crime? The fact that the mass media has turned into an agenda driven, lap dog, sycophantic bunch of ideologues only helps to defend and mask the great apostasy in their attempt to call good evil and evil good. Politicians who sell out to private interests and spend millions of dollars of our money for their own personal advancement is another sign of the rot that is pervading American life. It is nothing more than greed. The near hysteria over abortion which amounts to nothing more than infanticide no matter how you look at it, and the brazenness with which it's being performed is a hardening of the heart a sign of the falling away. The clamor to legalize same-sex marriage, the rampant crime in our streets, the dissolution of the family unit are all road signs that lead America farther down the road of secularism. I'm not saying that there is no hope for America. With God there is always hope, but if we don't heed the signs that are so evident all around us, we are traveling down a one way street that leads to a kind of trouble we've never had in this nation. The popular, pervasive opinion these days seems to be that we have outgrown the Judeo-Christian principles this nation was founded on. The truth of the matter is that we never have and we never will outgrow Almighty God, and this nation best be believing it. The shadow of the Antichrist is looming. What do you think? Pray for our troops, and our country God Bless America Charlie Daniels
