Many of us have become Biblically illiterate. Just as our academic acumen has diminished in recent decades, so has our knowledge of the BIBLE, the infallible Word of God.
Our institutions of higher learning--Harvard, Yale, Princeton, were established to promote the study of the BIBLE, to equip men to know the truth that sets them free.
Circuit riding preachers traversed the countryside on horseback in weather fair and foul in order to share the Word of God with the populace.
There was a great
respect in the Holy One and men of faith lived in the faith they
professed. There was such a spirit of reverence for the LORD among
Americans that a foreign observer, Tocqueville, was prompted to say,
"America is a nation with the soul of a church."
But we have lost our First Love, we have turned our back as a nation and as individuals on the Christ who came to set us free. We have embraced the notion of multi-culturalism and in so doing, we have taken an asp to our bosom.
We have become so oblivious to God's truth that even as we see the Word of God unfolding before our eyes we cannot recognize it. The signs of the Last Days are all around us, but we are so preoccupied with the pursuit of the trappings of the world that we cannot see.

TRUTH--ultimately your only friend, for JESUS is TRUTH.
