Psalm 9:17 says “The wicked will return to Sheol, even all the nations who forget God.”
In the light of the current campaign for sexual immorality in our nation, a major division over divine truth has surfaced in the church between those who are fully and faithfully committed to God’s moral standards and those who claim to be Christians, yet refuse to have the Word of God intrude upon their sinful lives. We are called to be the Light in the darkness, not to join it. Jesus said “A house divided against itself is laid waste, it will not stand.”
In our rebellion, the church has become a people so comfortable with our defiant sinfulness we have abandoned God and brought upon ourselves the judgement of God. When God turns His back on a people, they’re going to get exactly what they want “no restraint. “
Romans 1:18, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”
The church has reached the point that even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God. We are without excuse, the church has had the Gospel for all the years of our existence, yet we have progressively continued in the suppression of that Truth in order to please man and in doing so, we have displeased God.
I thank God that Scripture is totally inexhaustible, I find that no matter how much I ready and study the Word, the more the Holy Spirit reveals the majesty and wonder of His person.
Because the church has not only known the Truth and suppressed the Truth, they have rejected God’s Truth! Therefore, God has removed His restraining grace and given them over to the fulfillment of their unrestrained lusts. When immorality dominates they will plunge further and further into darkness.
I believe that is exactly what we are witnessing in America today, from the highest positions of leadership in Washington, all the way down to the pulpit in the church, they are under the inevitable wrath of God coming from heaven against the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, left to face the consequences of their own sinful choices.
That’s why so many denominations are literally imploding, collapsing on themselves. We are experiencing the removal of God’s restraining grace. Sin is the cause and the effect is God’s wrath.
Sin is the spiritual cancer that destroys marriages , families and churches.
Just look at our society, nobody wants to talk about it, but we all see it, the horrendous abuse of innocent children being trafficked, millions of pornographic images of every kind, fornication and adultery are running rampant, every sexually immoral behavior that one can imagine is being normalized, all to satisfy a culture driven by it’s own insatiable lusts.
Why would we expect God to bless America or any nation that has abandoned Him?
