Yesterday; conviction, today; corruption, tomorrow...?

Judgment.

"Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens" Genesis 19:24. "Turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly" II Peter 2:6. Humans of today have ignored this example as to what God will do to those who live ungodly. What ever happened to "in God we Trust"? America was built upon the foundation of Christianity, but look around you and what do you see? People used to fear God now they mock him. Pornography floods the streets, alcoholic beverages are being promoted everywhere you turn, murder and rape is at an all time high, people constantly doing harm to their own bodies via drugs, smoking, alcohol, and God still has not forsaken us. What does he have to do to get people to see that he has always been there and always will be. No greater love. And what do us humans do? Spit on it. If I was in Gods place the world would not have lasted this long. It's sad to say and I've actually told some people that I can no longer say "I'm proud to be an American" in fact, I'm pretty ashamed of the fact. Life might be easier in America than it is in other parts of the world, but we are a country built on Christianity and we have totally forsaken our God for the exact things he would have us abandon. It's so sad to think that our America has become the "Sodom and Gomorrah" that God once destroyed as an example to us that would live ungodly and we have decided to overlook this and live ungodly anyways! It's unbelievable!

I suppose the church of today is the 'Lot' that's keeping God from destroying America because honestly I don't see much that's worth him sparing. "I can't honestly say I'm proud to be an American anymore, because it wouldn't be true."-me "Yep, I can't believe it's lasted this long."-Dad.

  1. Oh yeah, totally in like ten different major ways. I'm just not all "Yay, I'm so proud to be Americans cause I love America!" I'm more along the lines of "Well at least it's easier to live here than it is in other parts of the world.." lol.
