I want to assure you this article is not my political opinion but it is the Lord’s message to every generation including ours. Paul wrote concerning his generation and the fact that they were beginning to worship creation/creatures instead of the Creator (Rom1: 25). I know we care about the environment and want to be good stewards of what God has given us. What I do see in our country though is a major trend toward fanatical protection of the environment and quote people’s rights to sin. God makes it plain where or what direction a nation is going when they begin down this slippery slope. I care more about the spiritual direction than the political direction we are going as a country. We are not worshipping God but his creation and the creatures.
All of the great empires that have come before us were not stuck down from other countries invading and conquering them. They all fell from within and I believe we are headed down that deadly path that has only one end. If you read Rom 1:26-27 I believe you will agree that is not describing God’s plan for his family.
As you continue to read this passage Rom 1:28 you will see that man has chosen not to retain God in their thoughts and lives. This certainly sounds like the political climate today as God is daily being removed from the sphere of influence. In turn man suffers the consequence of being left to live life according to man’s wisdom not God’s. Which we all know leads to disastrous results. Just read Rom 1:29-31!
I can’t tell you for sure how far down the road to disaster we are as a nation but I am convinced that our nation is on this course. I believe we should be good stewards of the environment and treat people with respect but I don’t find anywhere in God’s Word where it says we as Christians are to tolerate sin or worship what God created. I pray that we will be what God expects us to be as Christians not what the world expects us to be.
We have to be careful that we follow God’s Word not our sinful heart’s path (Jer. 5:23-25 & Jer. 17:5-10). As you read these passages you will see what happens when we are left to ourselves we fail miserably. Praise God our success is not dependent on us! Our victory comes in Christ alone. I want to challenge all of us including myself to follow Christ in our daily walk so we can make a difference in our nation which so badly needs the Light of God’s Word.
