We are living in prophetic times, things WILL get worse, no amount of prayer will save us as a nation. Our focus must be on Christ, completely for everything. We must be about the job of warning people what is coming for those who are not yet saved.
We are in the gleaning times now, one person here and one person there, at least in America. In other parts of the world the scene is very different. Many people are finding Christ in the Middle eat and third world countries, but in America, our many years with the gospel and churches on many street corners in our towns, have exchanged the Bible and Christ for the secular social experience.
The warning: turn from your foolishness and go back to your first love! What is that first love? It is Christ!!!!
Even though the following passage was written to Israel, I believe it is a warning for us now.
Jeremiah 11:13-15 "…13 "For your gods are as many as your cities, O Judah; and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal. 14"Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.
15"What right has My beloved in My house When she has done many vile deeds? Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster, So that you can rejoice?"…"
There is no indication of the slowing of sin or the desire for righteousness here. We have had 300 years to raise up a culture that serves God but the worship of the god of freedom and affluence has only created monsters of self indulged people, who will not turn from their sin to Christ.
