The life and trials of a growing Christian - Day One Hundred Fifty Two

This is another Tuesday and you know what that means. That's right, another Tuesday morning bible study and this one was great! We had a guest speaker who was a breath of fresh air. He spoke about what the United States was founded upon, and how we've gotten so far from where the founding fathers intended on us being. The U.S. was founded by people who had a deep respect and reverence for God.
The first amendment to the constitution says that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. That doesn't mean that we are free from God, it means that the government can't establish a national religion. He brought up the fact that we have elected these activist judges and politicians who have slowly taken away the freedom of the Church and we as Christians are too busy fighting each other about theology and who's way of worship is the right way to even realize that we're in a nation that's in a terrible social decline. Instead of being guided by God's word, we're just doing what feels right. In fact, many Christians don't even know what God's word even says about much of anything.
We're doing everything that Rome did and we know what happened there. I'm only thirty eight years old and I see a huge difference in society now from when I was growing up and it's only going to worsen unless we (Christians) do something about it. There are almost as many Christians who don't vote as there are that do. So, who is the blame for the sad state that our beloved USA is finding herself in. It's not the secularists, they're only doing what think is right; it's almost as if they don't know any better. No, it's the fault of the divided, failing Church.
