Let Us Repent

When a nation turns its face from morality
it stares full on at its decline.

America is one of the greatest experiments history has ever known.
There shall not be another like it.
Yet, a mere 250 years into its making, our fledgling nation seems to insist upon seeing its fall before reaching the fullness of its glorious God-intended potential.
We have aspired to cut off the wings that gave us flight. 
Our haughtiness has given us the illusion that we are indomitable.
That we have no need for the God our forefathers founded this nation upon.
We have removed prayer from our schools
even the pledge of allegiance,
scorned the works of our founding fathers
and tried to remove all morality upon which a nation finds blessing.

Repent! Before it is too late
while there is still time.
Let us return to the ancient paths
of honesty, integrity, morality, justice, and the common sense,
that established our nation as a world power against the face of all odds.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV  




To See More Clearly

As I study the beautiful ebbs and flow of history, I think I am beginning to find that one must look more closely into the past to see more clearly into the future.

What one would not give to look into things yet to be? Yet the future which we so greatly long to see is determined by our own actions, or lack thereof.
