Americans Looking For A Savior?

This Christmas millions in the United States are crying out to Government to do more and more to fix our social ills. Instead of Americans honoring and placing their trust in Almighty God as our founding fathers did, secularism, bureaucracy and the god of the state (i.e.,"Big" Government) has become our nation's false Savior and bedrock (Prov. 14:34, Matt. 7:24-27). The notion that “Big Government” has all of the answers and solutions we need in this very chaotic and unstable world is a fairy tale. It is one that is rooted in the mistaken belief that “fallen man” - through and by the efforts of Big Government or Socialism - can establish a Utopian society that will bring about security and comfort to all of its citizens. We as a world this Christmas need a Savior who is bigger than ourselves and who has the power to deliver PERFECTLY and RIGHTEOUSLY for the now and for ALL ETERNITY (Isa. 9:6-7, Micah 5:2). But horrifically we as a nation do not want Him!

We as a world this Christmas need a Savior who is bigger than ourselves and who has the power to deliver PERFECTLY and RIGHTEOUSLY for the now and for ALL ETERNITY. But horrifically we as a nation do not want Him!

The truth of the matter is that ALL Americans – whether conservative or liberal - must see the BIG PICTURE and see it from ETERNITY’S perspective. Fallen mankind - apart from Almighty God and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS - no matter how sincere he is, can ONLY bring upon himself the consequences of his own unrighteous doings (Rom.1:18-32; 5:12-21).
.
Conservative values - which are based on the natural laws and moral absolutes) are tried and true and are thus the best ideology for containing the unbridled passions of mankind and preserving society for a healthy existence here in time. However, adhering to these values in this fallen world can NEVER bring about a Utopian state, even here in American.

One must see the “big picture” and rightly view the world in which we live today from Almighty God’s ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE. There are absolutely NO solutions or remedies for this fallen world (liberal or conservative) outside of Almighty God’s saving solution, which is ONLY found in His Son, Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12)!

Our culture and society today is near the brink of implosion by the secular and decadent practices which now permeate our once Judeo/Christian culture.

What is truly insane about our day is that many conservatives and countless Americans are deceiving themselves into thinking that we can reverse this fiscal and decadent tsunami that has and is sweeping over and deluging our nation these last 60 years. Our culture and society today is near the brink of implosion by the secular and decadent practices which now permeate our once Judeo/Christian culture. Our American family unit is ravished beyond comprehension. Godless immorality dominates and reigns over our U.S. culture today, leaving in its wake a destructive and ravished landscape for all to clearly see.

Thank God for the Tea Party movement which has slowed down our destructive fiscal bent a little; sadly this movement DOES NOT address the social conservative causes that are crucial for a society to survive. Fiscal conservatism can NEVER replace social conservatism. As one of our founding fathers John Adams stated so clearly, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious (God fearing) people.” He never stated that fiscal conservatism was the way to a sound and healthy society.

As lawlessness permeates our society and country, our time is growing ever shorter. We must do all we can to help preserve our once great nation, but sadly we should not trust in our efforts at this point. We as a nation are far past the point of no return (socially and fiscally). This reality is not a surrendering fatalistic thought, but an appraisal rooted in sound truth and reality.

We must do all we can to help preserve our once great nation, but sadly we should not trust in our efforts at this point.
.
Americans - more than ever today - need to see the world in which they live objectively and comprehend that all circumstances and events - nationally and globally - are headed to the final global climatic time called “the Day of the Lord” (Isa. 24:4-6; Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19).

One must ask, “Do I have a saving relationship to Almighty God in spirit and truth as the Bible – Almighty God’s infallible Word – clearly teaches. Almighty God’s Word states;

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matt. 6:33)

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” (Rom. 10:4)

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24)

To obtain true RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE one must KNOW the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ. Only through Jesus Christ can this possibility become a reality, in this world and in ETERNITY future (Eph. 2:15; Col. 1:20).

In these turbulent days of uncertainty and unrest in this "Christmas season" here in America and in our world, may you abandon your and society’s social delusions and solutions and put your faith and total trust in Almighty God's ETERNAL solutions that are ONLY found in the wonderful Person of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:20)! You will be set free from the shackles of this fallen world and you will NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Jonah 3:3 - 10 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

To bad more people in the United States would rather have a hireling for a shepherd than the true Shepherd. The One who truly gave His life for His sheep. Then they would not miss the examples in the Bible of what God would do for our nation.

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall 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.

I have seen this verse quoted on a few websites, but for this to happen everyone in the U.S. would have to fall on their knees and proclaim that Jesus the Christ is Lord and Savior of all.

It is not just "big government" that poses as a savior. But it is any government, including that which was created by the so called "founding fathers". All of it is earthly, temoral, and created to provide the "pursuit of happiness" to men not the pursuit of Christ.

It would serve you well to do a little research into the origins of, "this christmas season." With all due respect, the biblical literate should have no part in this pagan holiday that is based on lust and greed. The early church in this country did not believe in celebrating christmas. Take a minute and consider the very word, "christmas" or Christ's mass. Doesn't that have more to do with death than birth?

Please carefully consider. It is a sad state of affairs when the alleged church propagates folly.
