God Save America!

 

Well, “Happy Birthday America!” Here we are 247 years down the road from the day brave and courageous men representing the Thirteen Colonies signed the Declaration of Independence separating themselves from the tyranny of King George of England. This led to the written contract we know as the Constitution of The United States of America forming a previously unknown new style of government by the people, for the people, with elected representation in the government that has promised to uphold the laws of the nation protecting her citizens from enemies, foreign and domestic, attempting to take away their freedoms found in their God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Her citizens promised to live upright and moral lives based upon the righteous teachings of God’s Word as they formed state governments and applied to join the Union becoming a part of these United States. (Read the preamble of all our state constitutions.)

So, what happened? Here we are stuck in a malfunctioning government headed toward tyranny and putting its citizens back in a position of “taxation without representation” as was the case under King George! Those who are attempting to change the lifestyle of the “real” America, and the rest of the world for that matter, aren’t even elected persons by any nation on earth. Why are we caving into their wishes? Where have our elected representatives gone? God has become a disgusting thought in the minds of those who now worship money and Satan himself! Not only has our government failed to uphold their promise of protecting its citizens, but the citizens of these United States have failed in their promise to live righteous, moral, family oriented, Godly, lives! Trust me, it’s all about to fall apart, and the crying is about to begin – there is no free lunch.

[Matthew 16:26] One of the most tragic accidents that ever happened came about in the Mid-Atlantic on April 14, 1912. The Titanic, one of the largest vessels of all time, hit an iceberg and sank within a few hours. Many stories of heroism and courage have been written about this incident. Many women chose to go to their death with their husbands. An elderly single woman, who was allotted space on a lifeboat, asked permission to return to her stateroom. She was given five minutes, no more. In the room money and jewels were scattered all over the floor, but she took no heed of the earthly wealth. Rather, she sacked three oranges and hurried back to the boat. It seems almost incredible that the woman preferred oranges to diamonds. But, you see, death had boarded the Titanic, and with one blast of its awful breath, transformed all values – precious things became worthless and worthless things became precious.

Death has a funny way of changing things. All the things we work for and worry about seem reasonable until they are viewed in the light of our own death. The pursuit of pleasurable things seems most reasonable until one ponders the grave. Death just has a way of changing one’s perspective. The things that happened on the Titanic happen every day in real life. But remember - values transformed at death are values transformed too late! Will you transform your values today? “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?”

Is it too late to survey our values and ideals in the light of a dying America? What’s most important to you right now will soon be gone as these United States transform into a third world country for the sake of “equality.” Our freedom of speech is all but totally censored, and the truth declared as “hate-speech” - including God’s Word. God did bless America, but I think no longer (Romans 1:18-32). We must now beg, “God save America.”
