Is it God Bless America or Godless America?

 

We have become…

…as a nation

…as a people

…as a civilization

…as a community

…as a group of individuals

…as individuals

…as families

 

We have become…

…an increasingly selfish

…an intensely selfish

…unreasonably selfish

…consistently selfish

…and even at times, obsessively selfish people. Only interested in ourselves. Obsessed with our own interests and our own agendas.

 

Can we say these unflattering things about our nation? Are they true? Dare we look upon ourselves as we are and have become due to an extraordinary desire for ease, comfort, convenience, self gratification and desire to be entertained? We need to change.

 

We go to church and worship- yet…

…worship without service is worthless

…worship without sacrifice is meaningless

…worship without sharing is shame

…worship without compassion for our fellow man is not pleasing to God

…worship without fellowship with God’s less fortunate is empty

…worship without truly accepting God, and acknowledging Him for WHO He is and what he has done for us in worthless

…worship without true repentance and regret for sin does not reconcile us with God

…and worship without gratitude for what we have does not please God.
