We are Christians. We call ourselves Christians after the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - God in the flesh. The things we see happening in our nation which was founded on Christian principles (even though history books are being rewritten to eliminate this fact) is an abomination. Today we are drawing away from God, and Christianity is slowly being swept away - chaplins are forbidden to pray in Jesus' name, some people are attempting to ban the Bible because they say it is a hate book, lifestyles which are abominable to God are being glorified. Is it any wonder that banks are failing? Is it any wonder there have been unprecedented fires in California? Hurricanes have been devestating? I believe that America is getting a wake-up call. Christians, we need to pray. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At church on Sunday our pastor told a story of an older deacon who prayed every week that God would clean the cobwebs out of the corners of his life. The irritated another deacon. One week as the older deacon was praying his regular cobweb prayer, the other deacon prayed "And God, kill that spider"! That's something for all of to think about. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA was founded on christian values, but I guess in order to be more 'global' and earn that international money they are willing to trade values for cash. so sad.

As much as we need to confess and pray the sins of America, we need to confess and pray the sins of ourselves (back-biting, gossip, slander, greed, selfishness, covetousness, sexual immorality . . . yes, these things are all sins of Christians. And we need to examine our own hearts and repent of our own sins. Malice, rage, envy, strife, . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
