I am convinced we will be seeing a dictator soon. But that's just me, I could be wrong. I don't care anymore who rules us, it will be who God chooses and maybe not what we want. People are stubborn and refuse to see their need for Christ, all they care about is the comfort of their country while they are on earth. They don't know our life here is very short, our real life is in eternity, forever! Its either heaven or hell, this life is just a time to make that choice.
I rejoice at testimonials of people coming to Christ, however most of them I hear about are in other countries. America has such a false view of what being born again is they are comfortable thinking they are safe. The people of the United States are proud and self-willed, resistant to the Word of the Bible even while quoting them they do not obey them. In fact, there is far more scripture being twisted to fit their life than they use to correct themselves or others.
Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"
James 4:14
"Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes."
Psalm 90:10-14
"The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants! Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days."
Ephesians 5:15-17
"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."
My hope is that America will repent, but unless it happens soon we are going to be severely punished for rejecting Christ in all our institutions and venues.
If you feel you are not able to worship and pray at home then you have a wrong view of Christianity. Noah had no gathering to attend except his own family. Lot had the same problem. We are living in the days just like Noah and Lot in which there are few others who love and obey the Lord.
Matthew 24:27-39 "37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
Noah preached 120 years and no one would listen, there was not one repentant convert in all those years.
Genesis 6 describes the days of Lot, read it to have a glimpse of what is happening now.
If you have been living a ritualistic, superficial Christianity based on rules and appearances, now is a good time to repent asking God to show you His heart and then begin reading His Word.
