Third, we have been systematically lied to and criminally neglected by those who have been entrusted with the responsibility for protecting our borders and people from plagues like Ebola.

So what makes a technologically and medically advanced, supposedly intelligent people do the things that we are doing now?

What brings about this level of systematic failure? What causes the empowerment of such wicked and wickedly incompetent leadership?

This is not a rhetorical question.

There is an answer.

And that answer is: The judgment of God has come upon us. (See: Romans 1)

Everything from the plague of Ebola to our handling of that plague is evidence of the wrath of God pouring out upon a proud, unrepentant people.

This reality should be driving us to prayer at least as much (much, much more, actually) than it drives us to rant about Obama, the Democrats, the CDC, or anyone other than ourselves.

Judgment begins with the Church.

This culture has been “given over” because we have failed to take the Gospel-fueled Great Commission seriously.

We must take a calm, sober look at all of this unfolding around us and repent – repent of our personal failure to take that Great Commission seriously.

Both judgment and restoration always have and always will begin with the Church.

As should be plain at this moment to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear, America simply cannot endure much more of this Romans 1 insanity, wickedness, and stupidity.

If we truly understand this, we will repent and begin taking the Gospel and Great Commission of Christ the King seriously right here and now—while there is yet time—
