This past Sunday, I preached about the judgement of God on this nation. God won't judge this nation, He is already judging this nation.
For most of American history, national catastrophes and wars were times when people examined themselves to see if they were under the disciplinary action of God. In our day, however, we no longer fear God. Could you imagine what would have happened to President Bush if he had raised the possibility that 9/11 might have been a wake up call from God? Yet, in 1863 the U.S. Senate and President Lincoln attributed the Civil War, in which 600,000 Americans lost their lives, as a probable judgment of God on the nation for our sins. Their fear of God led them to recognize they were under the judgment of God and return to Him. Today neither the majority of God’s people nor the nation fear God. Until we return to a biblical theology like our forefathers, we will not survive.
We love the verse that says, "If God is for us, who can be against us." But let me change that to say, "If God is against us, what does it matter who is for us?"
