Boldly claim America’s Christian heritage.
Lamentations 5:21 – Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored!
Are you aware that America is in a cultural civil war? That there is a revolution in the nation’s streets? That your children are the “spoils?”
William Bennett, the former Secretary of the Department of Education, said, “America is engaged in an ongoing and intensifying cultural war. Over the last two decades there has been waged an all out assault on common sense and on the common values of the American people. We now stand at a crossroads. “
Jesus discussed crossroads. One fork is a broad way that leads downward to death and destruction. The other is a narrow path that leads you back to the God of our fathers (Matthew 7:14). Which road will America take?
What can you do? First, do not be ignorant about America’s spiritual heritage…the truth, not the history being rewritten. Be positive about the potential for winning, for God has not promised defeat to those who follow Him (1 John 4:4). Be bold in communicating the truth and proclaiming Biblical values. As opportunities arise, creatively instruct children in your circle of influence. Finally, focus on the power of God. Remember, it is righteousness that exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34) and it is a blessed nation whose God is the Lord (Psalm 33:12).
Pray With Us
Gracious Lord, it is a good thing when You bless a nation, and over the centuries, You have placed Your hand of blessing on America. It hurts my heart, and must severely wound Yours, to see this beautiful nation drifting away from You and Your goodness. It is Your counsel that stands forever, and not our own. Your purpose will be achieved across the coming generations of this country. Holy God, I pray that You will look down from Heaven and spare America, for the sake of the righteous men and women who still occupy this land. Restore us as a country that seeks to honor and worship You. I ask in the Name of Jesus,
Amen.
