AMERICA -- GOOD AND GREAT

French writer Alexis de Tocqueville, after visiting America in 1831, wrote, "I sought for the greatness of the United States in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, her fertile fields, and boundless forests -- and it was not there.

I sought for it in her rich mines, her vast world commerce, her public school system, and in her institutions of higher learning--and it was not there.

I looked for it in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution -- and it was not there.

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great!"


II Chronicles 7:14:

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.”

America is suffering from the sickness of sin—abortion, immorality, corruption in government, proliferation of smut…

We are like the people prophesied in Isaiah 5:20 who, “…call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Of them the Lord says, “Woe unto them!”

The sickness of sin is killing America but she is not inclined to accept the diagnosis of the Great Physician or to ingest His prescription for its remedy.

May our churches proclaim righteousness over the land once again; may the Holy Spirit of the Living God move in power over our people; may we fall on our knees in repentance before our Holy God; may we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior once again—and may He heal our land.
