Jeff GreerI will be so delighted when this election cycle is over. It seems once again that Christians are looking to Washington for answers to what ails our country.
As much as anyone, I want to see this nation elect leaders that are pro-life, pro-traditional family and fiscally conservative. However, I know that no one who is elected can resolve what truly is wrong with our society.
Only God can and he will not until we follow the prescription in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
What are our wicked ways? Primarily, we allow our children to be taught that God is not our creator and have done so for decades. Romans 1:18-32 reveals the wrath of God that comes upon any people that reject him. As a result, God has allowed sinful people to plumb the depths of their sinful desires. Therefore, we have homosexuality, murders and every unimaginable wickedness.
Washington cannot stop this downward moral spire. Only God can bring the United States of America back to righteousness. First, we who name the name of Christ must humble ourselves, pray and turn from our wicked ways. Then, and only then, will God heal our land.
