God has already stopped blessing America, we have not repented. People of this country have engaged in sin while actively defending it. The churches are apostate, preaching a social gospel according to the culture and psychology rather than according to the Bible.
Revelation 2:5 "'Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place-- unless you repent."
Our teachings to obey the Bible carries very little weight anymore because of the hypocrisy of the modern apostate church.
This generation divorced at an alarming rate, that is still going on. More babies are born out of wedlock than in marriage in the younger set, an indicator that many young people aren't bothering to get married at all anymore.
These young people saw the ripping and tearing of marriages when they were growing up, fearful that it could be them, turning their back of the concept of marriage altogether.
They didn't believe the "Christians" when told to obey the Bible because the divorce and remarriage rate in the church was as high if not higher than in the world. Why would they believe anything their divorced and remarried "Christian" parents taught them? Not only did many divorce and remarry, those who didn't do so, approved of those who did by their silence of the subject and acceptance of the remarried couples.
Luke 16:18 ""Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery."
Divorce is an act of hate for the spouse and disregard for the children. Remarriage dismisses the love children have for their biological parent.
1 John 4:20 "If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen."
Instructing children in the principles of the Bible while disregarding them, teaches children that what the Bible says is really not very important unless it's what we want to do, a choice, an option, rather than a command of God that He takes very seriously.
John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him."
When we cherry pick the verses we like and dismiss the ones we don't like we are showing contempt for God.
Romans 2:4 "Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?"
Many Bible colleges are teaching unscriptural concepts based on psychology rather than what the Bible actually says. Because of this, the American people are living out a worldly and errant Christianity rather than being guided by the Holy Spirit and His Word, also the reason non-believers don't take Christians or the Bible seriously. The lives of Christians are not much different than those who have not trusted Christ. The non-believers and believers alike are moving through life in their own power, not very interested in what God thinks.
It is only when we seek God with all our heart with the intent on finding His Will, to be able to obey, that He will give us wisdom.
James 1:5 "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
