Worship and Abuse of Freedom

The United States is about to lose the freedom it worships above God.
We have abused the freedom we have had and place other things and people above God. Trusting more in these things and people, even becoming angry at God when we begin to lose them.
All the complaining about our government continually when it was our sin that caused God to give us what we deserved in this government.
Repentance is the only thing that will bring this country back, but I am convinced we are in the end times and there is no coming back. The very people who want revival will not repent from their sin of pride and foolishness.
Many in this country say they believe in the Bible but do not obey God. Their Bible is a prop in their house like an amulet, to make them feel safe but they read it rarely, and when they do they do not obey what they read.
Many people who do read the Bible express superiority over others for their knowledge but defy the verses that command them to "love others above themselves." These people have a form of religion but deny God in their practices.
They divorce and remarry continually, if they do not they defend those who do. They endorse sin on many levels and claim they are doing it for God. They love sin and hate righteousness. \\
Most people who claim to be Christians today have no interest in the Bible except to snatch verses out of context to make them say what they want to justify their sin.
They use phrases like:
"God wouldn't want me to be unhappy" Really, the God that sent His only Son to the cross to die a cruel death for others would not want you to be unhappy?
"Don't judge" God commanded us to judge those in the body, we are to be discerning about our brothers and sisters.
"Your mean" when someone brings scripture to bear on their sin. We are accused of many things we are not merely to intimidate us into silence so the one who is sinning does not have to listen.
I could write a book about these phrases that are completely unbiblical but revered by many. There are many phrases "Christians" use that have no basis in the Bible but they believe they do.
When we see these phrases being used to justify sin and rebellion we know we are dealing with someone who has no interest in truth or they would ask God to show them. They do not ask God but they do get angry at anyone who will correct them with the scriptures.
Proverbs 1:22-23 "22 “How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? How long will scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge? 23 If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you.…"
We are living in a rebellious world now, except for a remnant of believers who are "people of the book", that is serious students of the Bible. These people pray for wisdom more than knowledge. They are unconcerned about impressing others but care deeply about pleasing their Savior.
Hallelujah for those who love God so much that the love of man is not on their radar, only that they impart truth to others.
