For two-hundred-thirty-four years the American people had largely been living in a bubble of sanity in a world that is terminally insane. Those that are still sane in America tend to think the world should want the Christian ethics and morality that America was founded on. The foundational truths of Christianity made America the most sane and prosperous nation on earth. But, even in the history of America we see times when the sanity bubble collapsed and insanity reigned in those living according to the flesh. It now looks like we have entered the terminal period of insanity for our nation, all world empires do, when they no longer fear God and people are allowed to prey on the innocent.<\/p>\n
Most Americans have moved outside the Christian morality sanity bubble and have now chosen to dwell in the insanity of the world system. We see this in our educational system and the insanity that they teach. We see this in our growing criminal population and the counter reaction that always ends in government tyranny. That cycle is predictable. We see that this insanity prevails in our culture of “anything goes”. People want to be free to do whatever is right in their own eyes but the collective nation cannot even judge correctly between choosing good and evil.<\/p>\n
The sanity in America largely came from her Christian foundations but now that the foundation has crumbed the whole house will soon collapse. Christians in America should not be surprised at what they see happening. When churches removed the Bible as the foundation for Christianity and inserted worldly doctrines of men the results became predictable for the nation. American Christianity is now much like the church at Laodicea. What did Jesus say to that church in the book of Revelation?<\/p>\n
Rev 3:14\u00a0\u00a0 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
\n15\u00a0 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
\n16\u00a0 So then because thou art lukewarm<\/strong>, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
\n17\u00a0 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:<\/strong>
\n18\u00a0 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
\n19\u00a0 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent<\/strong>.
\n20\u00a0 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
\n21\u00a0 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Laodicean Church became wealthy and worldly. They lived in false security because they were rich by the standards of the world but Jesus said they were poor spiritually. They were living in the flesh instead of walking in the spirit.\u00a0 The letter to Laodicea could have been written to most Christians in America today<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n
