I have said along with many others that if the Democrats are successful in November, America is doomed.\u00a0 I stand behind that statement.\u00a0 However, I do not believe that a victory for right thinking and common sense in November will be the panacea for all of America\u2019s ills.\u00a0 Our nation stumbled and fell into a deep ditch when it elected the most destructive and divisive president in history.\u00a0 She fell on her sword when she reelected him.\u00a0 As a result, the damage that has occurred will take decades to undo, if it can be undone at all.\u00a0 One thing is absolutely clear. \u00a0It will not be undone by politics alone.<\/p>\n
Bluntly put, our society has reached the tipping point.\u00a0 It is bloated with individuals that wish the complete destruction of the Judeo-Christian moral system and replacement by a sin-friendly alternative.\u00a0 They have deceived a significant number of professing Christians to join them in their thinly disguised agenda.\u00a0 They can now vote whomever they please into political office.\u00a0 Defeating them in one election does not erase the specter of them coming back again and again every election with a vengeance.<\/p>\n
That brings me to the condition of Christianity in our nation.\u00a0 Christianity is the factor that has kept this nation\u2019s nose a few inches above the rising flow of moral sewage contaminating most of the world.\u00a0 However, those days are gone.\u00a0 There has never been a time in our nation\u2019s short history when Christianity has been so diseased and weakened by soul-destroying heresies.\u00a0 It is symptomatic of an underlying cancer that has been eating away at the foundation for many years.\u00a0 That cancer is an attack on God and the moral influence and truth emanating from His word.\u00a0 The focus of that attack has shifted significantly from outside to within Christianity.\u00a0 Most professing Christians are unaware of the change.<\/p>\n
I am convinced that the ones invading Christianity are not Christians and have no desire to be such.\u00a0 Just as they invaded politics, journalism, public education, and every other sector of influence, they crept into Christianity for the purpose of converting it into a surrogate birthplace for their satanic ideas.\u00a0 These evil ones have slithered into Bible colleges and Christian Universities to teach apostasy to generations of gullible young Christians.\u00a0 Both secular and Christian colleges and universities can be a danger to ones spiritual health.<\/p>\n
They wormed their way into leadership as deacons, teachers, pastors, and even heads of denominations.\u00a0 The Christian music industry is inundated with them and their apostate prot\u00e9g\u00e9s.\u00a0 Heretical deception flows non-stop from so-called Christian television.\u00a0 It is very likely that one will encounter dangerous heresy in many Christian books.\u00a0 The Internet is replete with Christian websites and social media pages that comprise a virtual smorgasbord of heresies.<\/p>\n
To make matters worse, scores of leading Christians have been exposed as having committed terrible sins, which is indicative of their spiritual destitution.\u00a0 However, they never seem to go away or sincerely repent.\u00a0 Some congregations refuse to evict them from leadership.<\/p>\n
Many of these hirelings insist on people giving them money so that they may live opulent lifestyles while their parishioners struggle to makes ends meet.\u00a0 They speak flagrant blasphemies, court ecumenism with cults, dabble in paganism and New Age practices, and even deny the truth of God\u2019s word.\u00a0 The situation is so deteriorated that I\u2019m convinced it is now dangerous to attend many churches.<\/p>\n
As a result, people are abandoning Christianity in record numbers.\u00a0 Approximately 4000 churches close down every year and 3500 people leave every day. Of the 250 thousand Protestant churches in the nation, 80% (200 thousand) are stagnant or declining in growth.\u00a0 (Sources:\u00a0 various polling data)\u00a0 Some experts will point out that a significant number of new churches are being planted.\u00a0 However, many and maybe most of these new plants are Emergent\/Seeker Friendly\/Launch churches.\u00a0 Thus, traditional churches are drying up spiritually and closing while heretical ones are stepping into the vacuum left behind.\u00a0 This indicates that traditional Christianity is being systematically replaced by new, glitzy, but heretical Christianity.<\/p>\n
In view of these facts, do we really believe that a big win for conservatives in November will bring about America\u2019s salvation from despotism and ruin?\u00a0 A win may grant a reprieve from the relentless hopelessness that many Americans endure.\u00a0 But what will they do with it?\u00a0 Will American Christians rise up in force and begin to push back the flood of evil with their prayers, commitment and obedience to God?\u00a0 Will they get serious about abandoning their obsession with the gospel of materialism and comfort?\u00a0 Or will they remain on the same path of declension buying books, movies, music, sending offerings, and sitting in church buildings, that sponsor heresy and the ones that spread it?<\/p>\n
In my honest opinion, I believe that even if conservatives won in November, professing Christians would squander away the opportunity.\u00a0 Giddy from victory, they would develop a false sense of security and be completely unprepared for the next presidential election.\u00a0 Free from the sense of impending doom, they would go back to their complacency, their heresies and their ravenous consumption of everything the world system offers by way of sports, music, and entertainment. For two more years they would settle back into the almost imperceptible and gradual slide into apostasy all the while believing that God had delivered them.<\/p>\n
I realize that this rains on some people\u2019s parade.\u00a0 However, the truth needs to be presented here.\u00a0 The majority of Christians are so desperate for a political victory in this spiritual battle that they gush with adoration for Mormons Glen Beck and Mitt Romney.\u00a0 They have placed their hopes on Fox News and the Tea Party, sanctioning them as the bastions of Christian principles.\u00a0 Three decades ago, they would never have wrapped their arms around the people and entities that they are embracing today with total abandon.\u00a0 Do they not believe in the power of God?\u00a0 Do they not know how to pray, or is it that they are unwilling?\u00a0 Why do they trust in man when it is clear that no man can save this wicked world and unrepentant church from the destiny of their mutual course?<\/p>\n
We cannot honestly believe that (with the election of a few conservative people) we are going to escape this terrible predicament by returning to a particular point along the path of disobedience.\u00a0 When God says \u201cReturn\u201d, He does not mean to back up a little bit.\u00a0 He means to turn about face, go back to the place where we went astray, and get back on the course of His perfect will.\u00a0 Anything less than that may prolong the consequences of a wayward course, but it will not prevent the inevitable conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
