It's Time

...so stand fast in the Lord... (Philippians 4:1).

It's time for Christians to stand up and speak out. The Church has remained silent too long. The freedom of worship that we've always given thanks for and this country was founded upon is eroding away. A society that once smiled on Christian values is now frowning, and the shootings, drug addiction, greed, and lawlessness are some of the results.

Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein... (Jeremiah 6:16).

Our God is a patient God, but, over and over in the Bible, when the Israelites had turned and moved farther and farther away from God, Israel was defeated and her people taken into captivity. If American doesn't turn to God for healing, I'm convinced the same thing will eventually happen to us. America cannot free herself of her long held values, like honor, honesty, empathy, integrity, and trustworthiness, and remain strong. Is a radical group, like ISIS, going to conquer?

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand (Ephesians 6:13).

We need to begin on our knees in prayer. I keep hoping there'll be a backlash and every person in America with a Christian heritage will stand up and shout "Enough!" I feel called to do some of that. It's time for a Jeremiah to come forth and declare, "Stand firm in the Lord!" America needs another Great Awakening, but who will come forth to lead the charge? Will you say, "Here I am, Lord. Send me?"
