America in Decline

The status of the United States ranks low around the world, over 10% unemployment, many more are under-employed, out of control government spending, government take-over of private business, and a proposed take-over of the entire health care system.  What is going on in the United States of America?  Why is the status of the United States in decline? It is very simple:

We have gone from a country with leaders who lead with these words, "In God We Trust" to a country with leaders who lead with these words, "In Government We Trust."  This is not only true in government but in many of the churches in America.

"We have this day restored the Sovereign, to Whom alone men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and . . . from the rising to the setting sun, may His Kingdom come." - Samuel Adams

"Statesmen . . . may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand."

When a country begins to place it's trust in men, those who lead them, over trusting in God who created them, God will remove His favor on them and they will fall. 

Proverbs 16: 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.

I believe we are watching this very thing taking place here in America. Unless we have leaders in government and in our churches who believe our government is under God we will experience a mighty fall.

To get our leaders to submit to God we must first submit ourselves to God and then ask Him to guide us as we elect leaders who will also submit to the God's will.
