In 1Timothy 2:1-2 Paul urges Timothy that "prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity." I believe there is a battle going on for the heart and soul of America. The United States of America has come to a pivotal place in her History. Will we continue down the road of escalating moral decadence? Will we persist on the current trajectory towards a completely socialistic state? Will we maintain that "Tolerance" is the supreme virtue or return to "Truth"--as contained in the Bible as the governing principle of our land?
America has become a cesspool of sin with an ever increasing tolerance for decadence. We witness corruption, extortion, dishonesty, bribery,favoritism, and blatant disregard for what is right at every level of society. What is most disturbing about the prevalence of evil is the apparent apathy the majority of people have towards it. We hear politicians excusing their unethical, immoral, and illegal activities by saying, "That's the way the game is played" or "Everyone does this."
It is truly time to "humble ourselves and pray and seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways" (2Chronicles 7:14).
