What Will You Do?

As Americans, we have long enjoyed and been blessed with a Constitution which guaranteed us certain “inalienable rights, among these, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those liberties enabled the People to find or create their own businesses, buy homes, raise kids, give to the poor, etc. Most of the kids were reared with parents that were married, went to church, believed in strong family values, And lived decent lives. They weren’t, for the most part, liars, thieves, debased, morally corrupt people. They were “wholesome, trustworthy, men and women who gave their word as an oath, and you could count on them to do what they said they would do. Their word was their bond. They believed in, and feared, the Living God. The church had successful raised its members to participate in society to make a better place. The government and educational systems were basically in agreement. At one time, the primary instruction tool for reading was the Bible. Its values were also imprinted in the conscious of the overall population. Early American government officials, in order to be elected, had to be in ministry for the most part. The early colleges were institutions for creating ministers and leaders. The character had to be impeccable, and these were all men of virtue.
It seems to me that much has changed to make us a corrupt and bankrupt nation, filled with liars, thieves, cheats, murderers, a nation where virtue and truth are mocked as ludicrous. They don’t believe there is truly a God, anywhere, to which they must give account. I don’t think there has ever been a nation on earth as corrupt as we are. We outshine Sodom and Gomorrah for our very wickedness, and proudly parade our wanton depravity for the whole world to see. Whole parades in Seattle, Portland, or San Francisco bear this out. Or, consider the “Burning Man” festival which is as pagan and depraved as ancient Rome with its arenas of death.
America is destined to fall because of its wholesale turning away from God. I know that famine is arriving swiftly in the world, and it is not due to merely the weather. I believe the Christians and the Church is running headlong into the jaws of the Fourth Beast mentioned in Daniel Chapter 7. We are the final generation before the “Great and Terrible Day of the LORD”. I urge you to search your heart diligently and see if there be any wicked way in you, and get it dealt with. Let no unforgiveness be found in your, or you are a Bride with a spot or wrinkle. My Jesus is coming for a Spotless Bride, whose lamp is still lit and there is oil in it for the duration.
We are commanded to “deny yourself and take up your cross and follow him” (paraphrase). We are told to love not our lives unto death. I am fully convinced that the LORD knows which of us have completely put our faith and trust in Him. These are the last days, and many will fall away, indeed, have already fallen away from true faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD. He alone is LORD of heaven and earth, and my hope is in Him alone, not me or any natural goodness. Jesus’ finished work at Calvary is sufficient cleansing of sin for all who will receive it. Most won’t. Will you? If it means you will die if you won’t deny Christ, are you willing to die for Him? Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend”. If you aren’t willing to die for Him, than for sure, you aren’t willing to live for Him. Who’s your Daddy?
