AMERICA NEEDS GOD

Christian people know! We know that "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Psalm 33:12. We know that "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1. We know that "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people." Proverbs 14:34. We know that "If my people, who are called by my name, will 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." 2 Chronicles 7:14. Yes, Christian people know! We know that if we drive Almighty God from our way of life we will pay dearly! We know if we no longer are a "nation under God" we will reap calamity! We know that our founding forefathers included God in their design for this great country, and if He is removed, so will His blessings be removed! We know that if our morals continue to decline, our God will bring great distress upon our land. We know that if we no longer look to His Word for direction and guidance, He will allow us to go the way of other "God forgetting" nations. And we know this, if we cease to be the church of Jesus Christ, the Lord will remove our lampstand from this place, and only darkness will follow. Yes, Christian people know!
