How our Nation is Post-Christian
How our Nation is Post-Christian
The days of our country’s life are cast in yellowing hues, and the leafs of the basic beliefs of the once great United States of America are turning yellow and red and being trampled underfoot. This country, still beautiful in its autumn splendor, should make no mistake; winter is coming.
It wasn’t too long ago that our country was built by openly professing Christians who proclaimed, ““The Law given from Sinai [The Ten Commandments] was a civil and municipal as well as a moral and religious code[i],” and, “ The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend to all the happiness of man[ii].” James Madison, in prophetic form said, “ We’ve staked our future on our ability to follow the Ten Commandments with all of our heart[iii].”
Yet today there is a large movement to cast Christians as historical revisionists[iv] even though the quotes and Christianity of the founding fathers is well known and well documented.
Bible-based education has been banned, and the pseudo-religious ethos that pervades America consists of cultural sayings like, “God helps those who help themselves”, “Man is basically Good,” “The Bible is full of errors,” or “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you’re sincere.[v]”
It is all bad news. The prevailing worldview defining the theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, psychology, sociology, law, politics, economics, and history, is owned by preschool, primary, secondary, college, and post-graduate educational institutions, as well as the main stream press. From cradle to grave an American is likely to get bombarded with anti-Christian messages.
Our country now embraces a court sanctioned culture of death. Murder of the unborn is celebrated, murder of infants is encouraged, murder of the elderly is sectioned. Our country also encourages deviant lifestyles such as homosexuality and pedophilia. Organizations like NAMBLA are working hard to make it easy for homosexual men to prey on young boys. Fights to legalize any kind of “marriage” still rage in the USA.
As I write this, we are in the midst of a sea change as ideologically anti-Christian and anti-American Leftist groups are poised to sweep American elections. It is interesting that such an election should be held the week after Halloween, which has now become the 6th largest spending holyday with nearly 6 Billion dollars to be spent this year. It is the second biggest decorating holiday[vi]. It is a sign of our burgeoning pagan ideology.
As the United States of America cavorts head-long into demise brought on by thumbing its nose at God, a phenomenon may occur that we see in such cultures. As God examines such peoples, He often, “gives them over,” letting the culture absolutely run amok in their sin. That will make small-groups and well trained “talmudim” of extreme importance, as we may need to hunker down in the winter, still working hard to make disciples, while we wait for the Son.
