What of America's Future?

 

Once there was a small town on the edge of a great forest and in the forest lived a herd of wild hogs. The hogs ravaged their crops and made a nuisance of themselves in many ways. The men of the town tried to hunt the hogs down, but the hogs were too wary. Unfortunately, the hogs attacked and killed a small child. The people were enraged and called on a famous hunter to help them. His methods surprised them. First, he put a large pile of corn in a clearing at the edge of the forest. After several days he noticed the hogs had finally come and ate the corn. He replaced the corn and the hogs came back for more. For days, he put fence posts up around the corn supply. Then he added wire and a gate. Finally, early one morning as the hogs were feeding, he slipped up on the pen and closed the gate. The people were amazed that he had caught all the hogs. The hunter shrugged his shoulders and said, “Those hogs were mine when they ate their first mouth full of corn. You see, when a critter takes a free handout, it belongs to the one who gave it. “Do not conform to the world! (Romans 12:2) The world said get tattoos, so they did. The world said drink and do drugs, so they did, until they couldn’t remember who they were. The world said dress the way you want, so they dressed to entice lust and were enticed to lust, but the whole world is doing it so what’s the harm? The world encouraged recreational and casual sex, so they did and became sick in heart and body. The world said forsake your wedding vows, let Hollywood help you see the light, and they did as the world was doing. The children were hurt and they cried out for parents that were no longer there for them. The world said push others out of the way, use them and lose them. And they did as instructed only to find themselves alone in a cold dark evil world. Numbers 32:23 still says, “…be sure your sin will find you out.” And remember, the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). I don’t think anyone wants to hear Jesus say, “…Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire… (Matthew 25:34).

[Proverbs 14:34] “Righteousness exalts a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.” God has NOT promised to always bless America! God has turned from, and punished, other nations when they abandoned righteous ways and increased more and more in their evil ways. The Bible clearly teaches what is right, good and pleasing to our Father in heaven; as well as specifically, and with concise terms, has identified what is evil, wicked, and totally unacceptable to Almighty God. What do we expect America’s future to be when we allow minority groups to dictate when we can bow our heads in prayer, even in public? What do we expect America’s future to be when we remain largely silent while innocent babies are legally slaughtered? What do we expect America's future to be when we tolerate more and more advances of the Hollywood agenda to force the homosexual lifestyle into our homes via the ungodly programming on television? What do we expect America’s future to be when we are passive toward the aggressive actions of others who are forcing garbage, filth, vile and offensive language into our lives almost everywhere we turn? What do we expect America’s future to be if we put men and women in office who do not value and esteem the Holy Bible, have proven they promote and legalize evil practices causing American’s to further abandon God and His holy and righteous ways? “All that is necessary for the forces of evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing” (Edmund Burke). We should be very careful we don’t sell out for some ticket or trade our freedom for a bowl of soup. May God help us to stand up, speak up and plead for America’s future. Did you vote?
