Is it Time to Pray for the U.S.?

[The Gwinnett Citizen] 30 Aug 2008--“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12). If God is no longer the Lord of our nation, can we expect His blessings to continue? Can we expect Him to withhold His judgment when we violate His moral principles? Have we taken for granted God’s incredible blessings of freedom and liberty ignoring Him and His Presence in our land?

The time is here when the people of God need to wake up, pay attention, and return to the God of our fathers and mothers. We want to hang on to the truth that God is Love (and He is!), but we ignore the truth that God is also just. Of all the great empires the world has known, how many lasted? The Assyrians. The Babylonians. The Romans. The Ottoman Empire. The British Empire. The Soviet Union. Did they last? What makes us think our fate will be any different? In our self-centeredness and arrogance, we think we are invincible. We easily forget what made us great.
