Today Americans walk around with coins jingling in their pockets that read “In God We Trust” and at the same time they say it is a crime to pray to Jesus in public. It’s frightening to wonder how God is reacting to this in Heaven. Are we not being as hypocritical as the ancient Jews? Are we not specifically dragging His Name through the muck with our actions? We all know that the God being referred to on our coins is the Christian God, not some fictitious idol. And we all know it’s the Christian God we’re trying to scrub out of our Pledge of Allegiance. So while we pass back and forth little monuments that proclaim our loyalty to God, we are at the same time hanging up public banners that say the cross was a myth and putting on theatrical shows like “Jesus Christ Superstar” which make a mockery out of who He was and why He came to die. We are pumping out movies, posts and imagery that attack all Three Persons of the Holy Trinity while at the same time defending our right to publicly worship idols. No one complains when an ugly Buddha statue is put on display in a public workplace or restaurant, but to display a crucifix anywhere but inside a church or private home is offensive. Given how personally God takes actions that aren’t even aimed at Him, how much more enraged should we expect Him to be when He is being intentionally targeted? Clearly America is doing everything she can to try and provoke an aggressive response from God, despite all the historical records we have of Him leveling whole empires who insulted Him in the past. In the Bible we learn that God takes His time in exacting His revenge, waiting until a nation is off its guard and so full of arrogance that it thinks it is indestructible. Then He takes delight in slowly turning its greatest points of strength into smoking piles of ash and rubble. This is not the time to be praying prayers like “God bless America.” Blessings and a new rise to power are not what’s on the board for this most ungrateful nation.
