Already Under Judgement--The Downward Moral Spiral

"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." Romans 1:28-32 The next push brings serious problems. Notice that it centers around not wanting to keep God in their knowledge. Do you remember all of the legislation about removing God from every public place. Many "haters of God" have seen fit to remove the name of God from America. Men are no longer allowed to pray in Jesus name at all government functions lest someone gets offended. Yet, Jesus says clearly that if you are ashamed of Him, He will be ashamed of you before His Father. The "giving over" brings a reprobate mind. This means that many will not even feel conviction for sin anymore. Maybe that is why America's church altars are empty? What is worse is that many churches and denominations have followed the world rather than followed God. There is a long list of sins that accompany this list. One that stands out for me having been a teacher is the sin of "disobedient to parents." Our schools are now a shambles with homosexuality taught as a viable choice in many places. Children can't pray, but they can take the name of Jesus out of a song and replace it with our president's. Most have a different name than their mother due to the epidemic divorce rate and the whole of the countries view of what marriage is seems confused. For those who do not know, marriage is a shadow or type of Christ's relationship with His church. Just like Adam was "operated" on and a rib taken, Jesus was pierced in the side from which the blood and water that birthed the church flowed. When you mess with God's plans and redefine them, Watch out!

So where is the church in all this chaos? Asleep! So many are preaching a false health and wealth gospel that the majority of believers are caught up with giving to get rich rather that agonizing over the lost soul of our nation. GOD PLEASE HELP US!
