I was reading Jeremiah this morning in my studies. Chapter 6 verse 19 really hit me hard, "Hear, O earth: behold, I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their plans, because they have not listened to My words, and as for My law, they have rejected it also." Of course, the United States is not Israel, but God is still God, and He has demonstrated time and again historically how He deals with nations who ignore His law. In America, we allow sexual perverts like Michael Jackson run free, and when they die, we pay homage to them as if they were gods. Murderers like O.J. Simpson are found innocent because we are more concerned with "justice" than we are with justice. Our President appoints men who are proven tax evaders and a woman who thinks her minority status makes her more qualified than a white male to be one of the most influential judges in the nation. Those too corrupt to pass their interview with the U.S. Senate get hired by major corporations to make sure those corporations get their share of our money (aka the stimulus plan). And now, most recently, a major newspaper photographer, got a candid photo of Barak Hussein Obama scoping out the backside of a woman who had just passed him.
Letters to the editor of the local newspaper bring down the displeasure and insults of citizens who don't have the intestinal fortitude to identify themselves as they rail against anyone who has an ounce of moral fiber and who refuses to cow tow to a fascist, socialist, fool whose only claim to fame before he became the U.S. President is that he voted present on numerous critical issues when he was in the U.S. Senate. This fascist, unregenerated heathen is a consummate liar, one who believes in murdering helpless babies, denies America's roots are based on Judeo/Christian values, and claims to be a Christian himself (another one of his long list of deceptions).
Immorality is spinning out of control in America. Same sex marriages, prostitution, murder, child pornography, sexual assault, juvenile delinquency, robbery, and burglary are as commonplace as flies on cow patties. The standard for behavior in this country is so low a gnat couldn't squeeze under it. I suspect the wrath of God is soon coming to the shores of of this great nation if we don't find a way to turn around our complete apathy for the things of God. Personally, I am opposed to the concept of freedom of religion. While I know we can't force anyone to be a true follower of Jesus, we can, as a nation refuse to allow any God but Yahweh Elohim to be worshipped openly anywhere within the borders of this country; and I suggest an edict making that law would do much to change how we deal with evil. I spoke with a dear brother today who suggested such thinking violates our founding principles. I couldn't agree more. I don't think most of our founding fathers were actually followers of Christ. What they were was people who had been forced to follow a false religious organization in England and throughout Europe; and they didn't want to have anything to do with another. What I'm suggesting is making it a crime to openly declare allegiance to Allah, Mohammed, Buddha, or any of the other millions of false gods would make it possible to get those off the streets who do pose a threat to our national security. It is utter nonsense to suggest that only those who openly claim to be radical Muslims are a danger to our national security. One of the most basic tenets of Islam is their duty to kill anyone who refuses to acknowledge Mohammed as "the prophet" and Allah as "the god."
Finally, I suggest we must strictly enforce immigration laws if we ever hope to bring our current economic and moral crisis under control. I am all for allowing people from foreign nations to immigrate legally to America. I am vehemently opposed to ignoring and/or rewarding those who come here illegally. It is a colossally irresponsible act on the part of our government to refuse to act immediately and with extreme prejudice against those whose very presence is a violation of all this country has honored for over two hundred years, namely our Constitution.
Revival would be a great start, but with less than 5% of our country actually being followers of Jesus (that's my uneducated guess), more than a revival of this tiny group is needed. Of course a true revival would cause those who are in actually, born-again, bible thumping, God loving, gospel preaching, followers of Jesus to begin proclaiming the gospel from the housetops, so maybe that would bring a rather quick end to the monumental apathy Americans currently demonstrate toward the things of God.

I Pray God will Bless America,
