Do you want to save America?
Raise your kids to follow Jesus.
So Ms. Hannah and Ms. Stephanie have made coloring sheets for all of the kiddos today like we do on family worship days.
But here’s the deal - kids, start coloring the sheets now.
Color as many as you can because at the very end of today’s message, I’m going to ask you to hold them up.
It’s going to be very special so do the best job you possibly can.
I think schools today teach a skill called keyboarding.
Back in my day, we took typing classes.
AND, back in my day, we learned how to type on Royal Manual Typewriters.
Anyone remember those?
You type until the bell rings.
You slap the carriage return bar, and type until the bell rings again.
One of the sentences we had to type over and over and over again was, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”
“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”
That sentence really was a matter of patriotic pride.
World War II seemed like eons ago when I was young, but when I was in typing class, it had only been 25 years since it ended.
The country was flush with pride.
We were strong.
We were victorious.
We were innovative and brave.
Good men had come to the aid of our country.
They fought bravely.
They died heroically.
Mother’s cried over the caskets of sons who would never have sons.
Dad’s cried brave tears - proud of their boys.
But heartbroken at their loss of their boys.
In church you could count on a rousing 4th of July service.
Flags would be flying in the sanctuary.
We’d sing every patriotic song in the hymnal.
America the Beautiful
My Country Tis of Thee
The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Every now and then when we felt frisky, we’d attempt the national anthem.
Sermons would be preached on the greatness of American and the evils of communism.
We’d go home with our patriotic fires stoked.
I am nostalgic even as I say these things.
Good days - good times.
In the country where I lived, far away from the cities it seemed, we lived in a very wholesome America.
Our founding Fathers built this nation’s backbone on a devout belief in God and God’s providence and the evil one did not sit idly by.
Prosperity blinded us.
Comfort lulled us into a complacent feeling much like eating too much turkey does on Thanksgiving day.
We landed men on the moon.
We grew oh, so smart.
We gave up the Bible as the reading text book.
We advanced to such mighty tomes as “See Spot Run,” and “Fun with Dick and Jane.”
In 1989, we progressed to “Heather Has Two Mommies.”
We proudly played the National Anthem before every sporting event.
Then on August 14, 2016, Colin Kaepernick sat on the bench during the National Anthem.
Few noticed.
But on September 1, 2016, he took a knee on the sideline while the National Anthem played.
And to this day, you can watch reels on Facebook of youngsters - some very small - taking a knee during the national anthem.
BLM - a Marxist organization selected causes to demonstrate.
They burned parts of cities to the ground while law enforcement looked on.
Antifa - essentially a far-left terrorist organization - started showing up in masks and head coverings.
Much like the KKK of the 20th century.
Doing monstrous things - hooded in the darkness so they could mingle with and appear to be fine upstanding people in the daylight.
But wearing their hoods, they are terrorists.
I cheered for Bruce Jenner as he set a world record in the Decathlon in the Montreal Olympics in 1976.
History.com
reports it this way, “On July 30, 1976, American Caitlyn Jenner - who was competing as Bruce Jenner - wins gold in the men’s decathlon at the Montreal Olympics.”
A person obviously male who calls himself Lia won the 2022 Women’s NCAA swimming 500 meter Freestyle event this year.
Megan Rapinoe, a recent world class American soccer player told parents who were upset that transgender children might compete against their kid:
“I’m sorry, your kid’s high school volleyball team just isn’t that important.”
Putin invaded Ukraine.
The United States played a large part in causing the conflict and an equally large part in continuing it.
We fought in Afghanistan for 20 years only to surrender to the Taliban - the very people who trained terrorists who attacked us in 2001.
Xi Jinping’s China is threatening to invade Taiwan.
Kim Jong-Un’s North Korea is testing ballistic missiles again.
While Saudi Arabia chastised the US embassy for flying the gay pride flag in their country.
It appears the Muslims - the religion of peace we were told - is decidedly anti-gay.
All the while, our Armed Forces are discharging people for not taking an experimental vaccine.
And are having training sessions on how to be sensitive to each other’s chosen pronouns.
Our country is weak and getting weaker by the day.
Our leadership is corrupt and satanic and perverse.
And as the Lord promised, Romans 1:24 “Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,”
I didn’t say this as forcefully when we were studying Revelation as I will now.
People keep saying “America isn’t in the Bible.”
I believe it is.
60 percent of the world’s pornography is produced by the United States of America.
The United Methodist Church split over the same-sex issue because Africa would not support it.
The United States UMC church spearheaded the split.
In less than two years, gas prices have more than doubled.
Food prices are up at least 25% - depending on whose stats you are listening to.
And who’d ever though you’d have trouble getting baby formula.
All of these things happened because our national government chose for them to happen.
There are 10 million open jobs and only 5 million people to fill them.
But we aborted over 60 million people in the last 50 years.
If they were all alive, at least 30 million would be working age now.
We look forward to a red wave in November.
Unless President Biden’s government pushes another pandemic as the President hinted at last Wednesday.
Even if the current government structure is toppled, and Republicans take over - it’s a band aid at best and more of the same at worst.
As President Trump’s presidency proved, evil will not give up ground easily especially when our choices for office holders are the best of two evils, like it has been for years.
We are living in the end times.
I believe Revelation 18:4-8 is happening right now.
When have you ever seen evil move this quickly in your life?
But there is good news, I don’t believe we are at the very end.
There is still time to change.
Just, how do we do it?
We’re not going to 2 Chronicles 7:14.
We’re going to James.
