“When the Lord your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers to give you, great and splendid cities which you did not build, and houses full of all good things which you did not fill ...vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant, and you shall eat and be satisfied, then watch yourself lest you forget the Lord..." (Deuteronomy 6:10-12)
Wow…does this sound prophetic? Here we are on the edge of election day in America, and it is very difficult to recognize America. Most of the perversion, lying, deceit, and distrust of all things government can be attributed to forgetting the Lord.
Cotton Mather wrote in Magnalia Christi Americana, 1702: "Religion begat prosperity and the daughter devoured the mother." (Deuteronomy 6:10-12) It is a sad commentary that the power and prestige of America have withered because of complacency. John Wesley left a sober warning in 1789: "Christianity, true scriptural Christianity, has a tendency in the process of time to destroy itself. For wherever true Christianity spreads, it must cause diligence and frugality, which, in the natural course of things, must beget riches! And riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive to Christianity. Wherever it generally prevails, it ultimately saps its own foundation." I wonder if we will change the ending.
