For years we flew the American Flag on our homes. Now the only way I would fly that flag is upside down. But you know.....most people would be offended because they don't know what it means to do this.
Flying the American flag upside down is an expression of a country in crisis.
The day the Supreme Court voted to allow for abortion through all nine months of pregnancy in 1973 was a day all of the homes in America should have flown their flags upside down.
The day the Supreme Court voted in 2015 to allow for homosexual marriage was the day Americans should have flown their flags upside down.
The day the Supreme Court declared prayer and bible reading in public school in 1963 disallowed was the day the American people should have flown their flags upside down.
Any one of these things all by themselves should have sent the country into a massive demonstration against them. However the truth is that most people didn't notice and worse yet those that did notice were unsure if these declarations against righteousness were wrong.
There are many other things that have been allowed by our Supreme Court that spat in the face of God over the past 50 years. Perhaps it is time to fly our flags upside down every day of the year from here on out. We are a nation in deep distress without any sign that any of these declarations will be overturned.
The nation has lived with these declarations so long that the younger generation thinks they have always been rights. To take them away now would enrage many who never knew a time when it was different from what they know now.

Fighting to Defend Sin is a very Big Clue!!!
Every time someone lies against the word of God, adding to it, or removing from it they are denying Christ.
Revelation 22:18
"18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book;"
Deuteronomy 12:32
32 “Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it."
Deuteronomy 4:2
"2 You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you."
Those who think they can ignore the words of God using the excuse that they are under grace are denying Christ Himself.
Grace does not give us license to sin, it gives us strength to avoid sin and to confess and turn from it. No where in the Word of God does God say anything remotely resembling words like; "because you are under grace you can sin all you want."
It is sin that takes people to hell and only trusting in what Christ did on the cross to pay for that sin will save us from it. From what? From sin and from hell.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
James 1:22
"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves."
When Christ changes us into a new creation we are changed, we hate sin as He hates sin. Anyone who does not hate sin has not been born again. We are not perfect yet while we are still trapped in this body of death, but we hate the sin that we do. We confess to be cleansed as is commanded as in:
1 John 1:9 9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Those who do not care about becoming righteous and cleansed are not born again.
Romans 12:9
"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good."
Proverbs 8:13
"The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate."
1 John 4:7-9 "7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.…"
We cannot possibly love God or others if we love our sin enough to fight to defend it. SIMPLE

God is Finished with Amercia!
Why would God give America a little more time?
Trump was not placed in office to clean things up even though some of that is happening. He was placed to enrage the liberals to do even worse to reduce America to lesser status in the world. It is only a matter of time before they have their way, whether in 6 years or sooner as they attempt to destroy Trump.
God's plan is not to save America! Why would He want to preserve a country that is devilishly corrupt, abortions, immorality, Hollywood filth, more babies born out of wedlock than in marriage, filth and blasphemy all around us all the time.
He is not going to save America even for a few years, He is moving to agitate the liberals to cause even worse anger in them. This will bring on worse things when Trump is finally gone.
America does not deserve to be saved, the sin and blasphemy continues to grow worse as the next generations lose all sense of righteousness.
2 Timothy 3 is now deeply in play, with no sign of sin relenting or turning.
When we mention to "Christians" the truth of the word of God and their response is to become irritated or dismissive, it is an indication that they want the safety of Christ without having to love Him or obey His principles and commands. These people are not born again. They want to praise themselves as being good people but they have no love for God or anyone else.
1 Timothy 4:1-5
"4 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,"
America is full of "Christians" who fight against the Word of God, believing that the Bible is nothing more than a book of suggestions. They search the Word of God to be able to find loop holes to justify their sin.
These people fight against truth accusing righteous people of evil doing for using the Scriptures as their plumb line, measuring everything according to what is in the precious Word.
If you have not yet been attacked for declaring the Scriptures as truth to be obeyed, then you will be at some point. If no one has ever attacked you then perhaps you are remaining silent when error occurs.
The American brand of Christianity is superficial at best and devilshly deceptive at worst. Those who are Bereans, that is rushing to the Word of God every time an issue arises for God's instruction, will be called names, demeaned and mocked for their effort. Praise God for those who are still like the Bereans and remain faithful to the Word.
Acts 17:10-11 N
Paul at Berea
10 The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so."
When we love Christ more than anyone or anything else we will want Him to speak clearly to us from His Word.
John 14:14-16 "14 If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—…"
God will only answer the prayers of those who are seeking Him. The Advocate, that is the Holy Spirit will only enter and dwell in those who want to be controlled by Him and at the request of Jesus Christ to the Father.
If anyone finds themselves fighting against the words of the Bible to justify sin God will not save them, nor will He listen to them. There are many pretenders who darken the doors of churches in our country every week who have no love for God but want to "feel" they are in the club. We know God wanted us to be able to recognize them because He warned us to watch out for them. If we were unaware of who they are we would not recognize their false doctrine or assertions. We must know them to be able to avoid their influence.
Matthew 7:15-20
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will [a]know them by their fruits. [b]Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will [c]know them by their fruits.
1 Corinthians 15:33-34 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.…"
Do not be shamed by ignoring sin in the body or the attacks of those who walk disobediently, speak truth and ignore those who are ignorant.
