I think about tragedies that America has suffered during the past 100 or so years. Pearl Harbor, 9-11, Columbine, and now Newtown, CT are just a few of the atrocities we have faced. I am not a member of the NRA, but they have a point! Guns do not kill or injure people!
SIN destroys! Anybody or anything that exalts themselves or their ideology in front of CHRIST is a false religion and must be dealt with accordingly. If you allow sin (through complacency or in an effort to appease) to survive, it will DESTROY!
SIN is anything that replaces "YAHWEH" as god of our lives. Your car, your job, your family, your sports team, anything that you worship ahead of THE ALMIGHTY is a false god! It is a wonder that the United States has not experienced more calamity in recent years.
The USA has fallen into the trap of trusting in presidents, money, power, Supreme Courts...... anything BUT GOD! Is it any wonder HE has turned us over to our own desires? Job 16:11 reports "God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked."
The children of Israel had just crossed the Jordan River on their journey to the Promised Land. Joshua had succeeded Moses as their leader. GOD instructed Joshua to have the males circumcised as they had neglected to do so at birth since leaving Egypt. Circumcision was a sign of God’s covenant promises to Abraham.
Israel had forgotten to honor GOD! I am afraid that, similarly, America has forgotten (or rejected) to honor GOD! There are those who say that GOD has NO part in politics or governing of the people. I submit this is GOD's world....... and we are only here by HIS grace and mercy! I pray that others see history as it is and we learn from it. If not, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus.!"
