As I was pondering what
to write while preparing to teach or Sunday school lesson, "Faith and
Doubt" taken from the above chapters of Genesis. Over the past several
discussions, I have been talking about the need for a healing of this nation. Sin
is the cause that requires this nation to be healed. The Lord placed on my
heart to write about sin and its grievousness comparing the sinful conditions
during this time in Biblical history to the corrupt conditions today.
Sin
was rampant then as it is today. The men during the setting of today's
scripture texts preferred other men for their sexual preferences instead of a
woman. God sent angels to rescue Lot, his wife and family, and the men of the
city tried to break into Lot's house to have
sex with the angels. The angels blinded the men so they could not see the door
of Lot's house until Lot and his family could
escape.
Today
homosexuality is prevalent and is moving into high places. Do I hate them no,
just speaking to the nature of sin? There was a time when girls had to be
protected from rapists, but today it appears as young boys are the preferred
target. Rape is a sin regardless of the victim
We
see hate and violent crimes of all kinds are on the rise as hate, and violence
being promoted from the Whitehouse; this is not who we are as Americans. This
question come to mind, has America
lost its moral compass? One would think so when we look at the grievous
conditions of sin that is occurring in our country today. One has to wonder how
we got to this point. Church, we have been silent too long and not calling sin
whenever and wherever it occurs. For example, we the church allowed one person
to remove prayer from our schools, and when that happened the door for Satan to
walk; walk-in he did. Mass shootings are regularly occurring, and schools are
no longer safe for our children. Families are being torn apart; even babies are
being separated from their mothers; young children are sex trafficked and
sexually abused. What happened to the Golden Rule, treat others as you would
have them treat you not to mention the commandment of loving others as thyself?
Corruption from the very people we elect to serve and protect us with our
well-being at heart. Greed is to the point that business owners make billions
in profit while the workers are barely earning enough to provide and support
his/her family. America,
we are better than this? Just as God destroyed Sodom
and Gomorrah because of its sinful ways, He will
do the same for America.
America, turn back to God and be saved from His wrath. He is
displaying His anger through nature.
