Restoration
The news is often difficult to watch.
The evidence of satan's mischief abounds from virtually every news item.
The news is often difficult to watch.
The evidence of satan's mischief abounds from virtually every news item.
Drunk driver plows into family vehicle, killing parents and children.
Terrorists overrun a village, brutally murdering everyone.
Comedienne crosses a vitriolic line of hatred.
Politician caught in lie.
Students riot on campus.
At every level of life, there is abundant evidence that man's inhumanity to his fellow man is increasing.
Why?
There are countless reasonable explanations for the phenomena we're seeing, but the one, underlying root cause has to do with the spiritual regression of our populace.
Once, our society was grounded in the moral and spiritual tenets of the BIBLE. No, everyone was not a professing CHRISTIAN. No, everyone did not obey all of the Ten Commandments...
...But, the mores of our nation were rooted in the faith of our founding fathers. Our institutions of higher learning were established for the propagation of the GOSPEL of CHRIST and our professors were men of faith in the SAVIOR.
Our politicians were not always men of honor, but they were always men who knew what honor is.
Our families were united together in their belief in the ONE TRUE and LIVING GOD and they worshiped HIM in their own churches in their own way and they lived out HIS laws in their lives.
We have fallen far from the foundation our nation's founding fathers established for us. We have hoisted the anchor which secured us to truth and honor and faith and love in the tumultuous sea of world belief systems.
So, Western Culture is on the decline and false teaching is gaining a viable position in our institutions because it is making headway in the hearts of our people.
When our children are being taught that there is nothing exceptional about their culture and the faith on which it is built, that all cultures are equally worthy of respect, the degeneracy of our age is the natural result.
Can we be restored?
If so, how can we be restored?
The only route to regaining what we've lost as a people is by returning to the GOD of our fathers.
"IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND." II Chronicles 7:14
