What has destroyed every great empire, since the begging of time?
1st..the rejection of God by the people.
2nd.. over-reliance on Military might and technology
3rd..lust for power
4th.. Academia( supposed woke culture)..
I know man... But we are all left asking ourselves what to do?
With all of the darkness around, it's hard to see the light. The light I keep forgetting to see is the fact that our leader would not, and has not abandoned us.
Well said, no hate mail here. I wonder if the Lord has allow this as He did many times in past generations to bring true repentance or is judgement being poured out of those who call themselves by His name, but live as their Own God.
You're not wrong, but you're also going to have to take into the account both sides of God's plan of salvation. The Law, which you point out, but also the grace by which He reconciles sinners to Himself.
Yes, a good case can be made from Romans 1 that the wrath of God is being revealed against us. The USA acting like the symbolic Whore of Babylon with its heaps of sins reaching the heavens as the Deep State gets our country into endless wars and our culture rots inwardly from the filth of Hollywood's licentious and evil practices. This chapter lists many of the symptoms of succumbing to rejecting the Creator and we do fulfill many of them.
However, I would also argue that these symptoms in and of themselves are markers and not the true problem. The issue is that we have not kept our mooring on the grace of God. Otherwise, we would understand that we are all sinners and are thus relying on the work of Christ to reconcile us to God. The Deep State and the Cult of Molech which has infested it has done its worst to erode the pillars of faith. And so our culture has forgotten what grace is. We laud our laws and justice without understanding that they are complemented by God's forbearance and mercy. We now have lefties claiming to support "social justice" but these cries are vain lies and slanders against their fellow men based on misconstruals of historical sins of others. Thus as the Prophet Amos, the LORD would despise our assemblies and festivals. (Amos 5) For they have been tainted by the ignorant wishing for the Day of the Lord to come against those who built the nation. A nation divided against itself cannot stand. A nation which destroys its heritage is doomed to die.
And this leads me to Jonah. Because of their sheer evil, I can think of this like Jonah did about the people of Nineveh. For Jonah rightly despised Nineveh for what they did to God's people in Israel and Judea. However, much to Jonah's chagrin, God chose to even show the Ninevites mercy. God's grace gives all of us sinners far better than we ever deserve. And we should not take the righteous declaration of the Law against the unrepentant to hold itself above the promise of grace, either.
Rather, we are to promote God working in the sinner to draw us all to repentance and faith. We are to all seek His promise of reconciliation and its fulfillment in the accomplished work of Christ. Thus we may, with gratitude, set about the work of seeking to honor His commands given to us through the gift of reconciliation and the promise of eternal life given in Him.
We are a unique country dedicated to faith in mankind to govern ourselves and not be ruled by others. Of course that happens when we allow God to rule us, and it takes discipline. But like many of our foreign friends have told us, if we fall, everyone falls. So it's not just us. We are here for humanity, and God wants humanity to succeed.
Good point, you can't argue the improbability of so many inconsistencies and coincidences.
I think the awakening is upon us. I just pray that many are willing to be awakened instead of being woke.

I'm no history buff. But this sounds remarkably correct, unfortunately.

Thx for the discussion point

No, it's our turn to lead the world in a global renaissance.
We aren't even in the darkest times. This is straight doomium.
You'll see far more to hope for from your fellows when the darkness really starts rattling the windows.
We win.
Why?
Because we win.
That's the game we're playing, just enjoy winning. :)
I 100% agree with you
It is worth saving & the media is the strongest arm of the DS/CIA
This is why I enjoy discussions. Thank you for the reply
The media and the Ponzi scheme banks.
