Americans Looking For A Savior?

This Christmasmillions 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 fromAlmighty 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 fathersJohn 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 inthis "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!
