America What Has Happened to You?
It's not so much that people detest the thought of God as much as they do the "interruption" that His word places on leading a sinful lifestyle. So what is sin then? Anything that separates you from the love of God, the things that are contrary to His word, the voice you hear inside that says "this is wrong to do," but yet the fleshly desires and selfishness of humanity that would rather please oneself then our Creator. It is rebellion against the One who knew us before we were born and created us for a purpose that is greater then the fleeting desires that we chase after.
The result of sin leads us down an long winding road thinking that we will find something that fully satisfies us, yet still leaves us empty and we begin to wonder, "Is there more to life then this?" Sadly, many don't find that there is until they are bound in addiction, living in lust, feeling worthless in society and for others it is when they have everything material wise that they need but discover that the void is still there. Every step we take in sin leads us further from the cross, further from the principals of Christianity and spreading the love of Christ with others.
Yet, we blame America for taking prayer out of public schools, for teaching evolution, for TV shows that are filling teen's minds with perversion, for music that seeps in like poison because it intoxicates the mind to believe that if we just had this or that then we'd be happy. Sexual intercourse is no longer a covenant between a husband and a wife in mainstream America because Desperate Housewives makes it okay for the viewer to believe that it's alright to look outside the box if you're not fulfilled at home.

In actuality we have become quite desperate as a nation because we rely on the words "Hope" and "Change" to rescue us out of some rut that all the politicians together couldn't do, and that is because America has chosen to rot from the inside. It's easy to blame the government for what we have become, but the truth is that we are where it begins, with the choices we make, not with those that are inflicted upon us by those who are not a part of our daily life.
We praise the almighty dollar so much more then an almighty God and then wonder why the financial turmoil in America can not be rescued by congress. We've placed more trust in them then we have in God and then question where He is as we watch the country spoil from its roots. We are ashamed to pray at our dinner table because the person sitting there, who may have no beliefs at all, might get offended.
It's appalling for me to come to terms with the fact that we have abandoned the values that this country was founded on so that we can appease scientists, liberals, and our own fleshly desires. It's really time that America as a whole returns to its roots and instead of being so enticed by the lusts of this world, seek God who created them and Christ who saved them so that they can have eternal life.
You see, I don't need Obama to give me national day of prayer to encourage others that prayer is important or for me to pray. Sadly, He does send a message by disallowing the Christians to gather at the White House for a National Day of Prayer, that prayer is not important or not important enough because it may insult some people.
At this point America, my hope and change lies in Christ because He has been the only one who I have ever found hope in and have watched as he changed others.
