here again?

What will happen to America? Would we survive the kind of turmoil that is taking place in the Middle East or in Europe? Chances are pretty good that America could handle those types of incidents in we allowed God to take precedence. I don't think Americans are as God-grounded today as was the case in those years prior to the radical 60's. A change came over the country somewhere along that point. Then self, became the all important focus of life in America. God became a Sunday morning church visit to show neighbors we were certainly still"Christians" but that was about as far as it went.

We are looking at a very different America today than what our parents grew up under. The country is at a point where God has been removed from everyday life and those who claim to be Christians today are looked down upon and even ridiculed in some instances. Changes unlike any we have ever seen in this country are taking place, the kind our parents certainly would never have imagined. Although these things may not have been imagined indeed they were prophesied. Yep, that's right this story has already been written but participants have the opportunity to make changes.

In Ecclesiastes1 we find; All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place from which the rivers come, there they return again. That which has been, is what will be, that which is done, is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said,  “ See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come by those who will come after.


Our situation today is new, yet some have read the book and others have skimmed the pages, some have seen the reviews, very few are totally unaware of the story and the players involved. This is the life long story of good and evil, and we are players in a very real game. A very real game for sure, but one that will for a time, allow each of us a chance to influence our outcome.
