IT’S
NOT TOO LATE!
Jer
18:6-8
6
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord .
Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of
Israel.
7
At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to
pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8
If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I
will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
Like
clay in the hands of the potter, if it be pliable, God may continue on
his intended way. However, if the clay be obstinate, then the potter is forced
either to discard the clay altogether or to pound it into submission so that he
might make of it something other than was originally designed.
Our
nation’s founding fathers well understood that our fledgling nation would
survive and thrive only so long as we maintained a proper relationship with the
Almighty. Now that we have become strong and powerful, we have replaced Him
with ourselves. His righteousness has been supplanted by our wickedness and His
glory with our shame. The once mighty eagle is molting and is in a pitiful
condition. God seems poised to strike her down.
It
is not too late for America – or for you! The Hebrew word for “instant” is
rega’ (reh’-gah) and literally means “a wink” of the eyes. So God
is ready to quickly respond to genuine repentance either from nation or knave.
The political order cannot be
renewed without theological virtues working upon it.... It is from the church
that we receive our fundamental postulates of order, justice, and freedom,
applying them to our civil society.
Russell
Kirk (1918- )
No person who shall deny the being of
God,
or the truth of the Christian religion, shall be capable of holding any office
or place of trust or profit.
-Constitution,
State of North Carolina, 1836
Dear
Lord, our nation has greatly offended you and you have been more than patient
with us. Bring upon us national revival so that we may enjoy your blessing once
again. AMEN
