America is a good story but we are experiencing eyewitness testimony of a tragic transformation. The American story is being transformed from a delightful dream into a dangerous nightmare. The story line and plot of 1776 is replaced with 1619. None of us would have ever imagined this could happen.
We are seeing signs of decay and realizing the fear of significant decline. It is not simply a political or sociological decay but a spiritual and moral decline that has become the new normal. The level of corruption and collusion combined with moral perversion is that which none of us could ever dream could happen.
The days are evil, and the times are troubling. We are beginning to understand what it must have been like to live under the ancient imperial Rome of the first century as we feel the constraints and constrictions of the 21st-century American experiment of capitalism be converted to socialism.
We in America are beginning to experience what the church today in many parts of the world experiences every day in terms of repression and resistance to the truth of the gospel.
We may be entering unmapped territory in terms of the new social/political framework we live in, but we still have the map of God’s word to guide us.
As we seek to serve the body of Christ we are to be and act as a white corpuscle that protects the body from infection and disease. We protect the saints as we proclaim the sacred scripture by the power of the Spirit.
As we seek to serve a confused and corrupt society, we are to be an eloquent witness, and the voice of conscience. We must be a faithful presence.
Serving Him with you, until He comes for us.
