There comes a point in a minister's life when the call of God is so strong that it just can't be ignored. That is the position that I find myself in as I write this tonight. God has asked me to step out of my comfort zone and into the unknown to boldly proclaim His Word throughout our land in hopes of opening the eyes of His people once again. We are facing severe problems in this nation of ours not only as Americans, but as Christians. As I listen to the radio, read the newspaper, watch t.v., I am not only appalled, but saddened. Where is the voice of God in our land? Where are all the Christians? I know that some of you might be saying, "Well, there are Christians here, can't you see them?" My answer is yes I see them, but I don't see all of them, and I don't see all of us as God wants us to be. God will not condone apostasy and idolatry for very long! There is a point where God's mercy will turn to judgment!
"If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Could it be that this short message is harsh? Maybe the question should be, could it be that as a nation, America has become harsh to God and we have allowed it? Think about it for a moment, our children are not allowed to pray or read their Bible in school, but they can be taught about abortion, homosexuality, sexual activities!?! Think about it, we have to practice "political correctness," but our government doesn't have to be correct with us!?! Think about it, we spend millions trying to win the lottery or taking vacations or buying our precious toys, yet there is still homeless and hunger in our own nation!?! Think about it, we can go out on the town and easily drop a hundred dollars on having a night of fun with family or friends, but can't even bring ourselves to drop 5 bucks in the offering plate!?! Think about it, we will quickly jump in our cars at anytime night or day and drive hundreds of miles to play on lakes or climb up mountains or ride in amusement parks, but we can't even take 3 hours one day a week to drive across town to attend God's church!?! Think about it, we spend hundreds of millions of dollars to elect officials to office that we believe will fix everything that is wrong with our nation, spend millions to protect our environment, spend millions, spend millions, spend millions......when in reality all we really have to do is get back to God, stand up for holiness, stop trying to ask the world to fix problems only God can fix.
Friends, there is a call out. Our churches are going empty, our Bibles are becoming dusty, our offerings are becoming nothing. A believers, as Christians, as God's people, can we sit idly by and allow the spreading of wickedness to continue? I challenge you to speak to God and then allow Him to answer. I challenge you to open your eyes and your hearts to what is happening around us. I challenge you to stop asking someone else to do it, and to start doing it yourself by the grace of God. Allow God to use you. We need to humble ourselves and turn back to Him if there is ever going to be any hope for our land. Search your Bible, search history, any nation, including Israel, that ever made the choice to turn from God and start relying on itself, didn't remain a nation for very long.
May God Richly Bless You Today!! H Trent!
