Even when a king honors God, as told of in the OT, if the people did not honor God the nation was doomed. There were a few kings of old who honored God but the people did not.
This is where we are in this country. So many people attend churches but do not love God. They want God's perks, safety, health and wealth but they don't want Him.
So many people in our country go to gatherings in churches to feel safe, have friends and be entertained, but have no desire for God Himself.
We know this by their reaction to correction according to the Bible and their show of embarrassment at the mention of the name of Christ.
Matthew 15:7-9 "…7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8 ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”…"
Saying you are a Christian and attending a gathering every week does not mean you are born again or that you love God. Many people see the gatherings as social clubs that give them comfort. They are not there to worship, but to generate good feelings for themselves.
Shame on the American church in this false worship that elevates self above God.
