A Wicked Nation

Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

We are living in a time like has never been in our lifetimes, where wickedness is upheld and right is looked on as being evil. I think a prophet said that was taking place in his day and that has been around 2400 years ago (give or take a few years).

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

This tells me that wickedness has always been. It only seems to have gotten worse in our nation in the past few years. In Philippians Paul was telling them to live right in their crooked and perverse nation. Perverse here means to be morally corrupt, or turned away, I think we can all say our nation is morally corrupt and turned away from God. The things God called abominations are gladly accepted by most Americans today, Thankfully there is a remnant that still holds to the truth and has not turned away from God. But they are maligned and called everything and the wicked are esteemed to be the righteous ones. I am going to speak to something that I usually don’t but it is time the Christians stood up and called out the truth. Our political leaders are not what they should be and are not holding up the foundations on which our country was built. I don’t care what they say and some have said that WE ARE NOT A NATION UNDER GOD. We certainly aren’t the nation that put God first like the first settlers of this great land did. If God removes His hand from this nation completely we will be like the nations overseas that have kicked God our or that never let Him in and they are nothing more than piles of rubble. People here today want to kick God out of everything and do away with churches and free worship. They really don’t know what they are asking for, but if they get what they want they won’t want the results of the chaos that will follow. John said in his day the whole world was in wickedness, how much the worse are we today?

1 John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Our nation may be wicked and the whole world also but, we don’t have to get caught up in their evil. We are to live right before God and to be light in a dark world. We need to let the world see Christ in us. They may not like it but we need to let Him shine forth in our lives. Dr Bob Jones used to say "Do right, Do right, Do right till the stars fall, Do right." It doesn’t matter how bad things get this saying is true for the Christian, do right.

Have a great day
