The physical representation of God's glory is today the cross of Christ, a representation now disdained, destroyed, and generally ignored by America. Does that mean that the glory of God has already departed from this once blessed nation?

People have been fired from their jobs, lost coaching and playing positions in major sports teams and had their fortunes depleted and their names besmirched all for their overt and fearless representation of their faith under the sign of the cross.

Homosexual organizations are on the cusp of engineering lawful means to criminalize the preaching of clearly defined passages of the Bible that indicate, without doubt, that God has proclaimed homosexuality and transgenderism as gross sin and a clear path to personal and national judgment.

The spirit, doctrine and general proclivity for all things perverse and clearly anti-Christ prevails from the White House down to the streets of our nation. Confusion, terrors, social upheaval and inexplicable behaviors are what have now resulted as a direct concomitant to these trends.

Whether people can connect these results to our plunge into reprobation, or if they even care to hear about it - have no bearing whatsoever - the days of confusion are upon us.

American churches are plagued with apostasy (falling away) and scandal and controversy (falling apart) not to mention a general apathy (falling asleep) that has left the once powerful soldiers of the cross staggering under the drunkenness created by political correctness, misguided social structuring, consensus driven immorality, materialism and self-indulgence. Yes, it is a long list and it is a long fall!

There is no longer a moral front in our nation. Immorality is vogue and transference of guilt has reached an entirely new plateau as is witnessed by the attempt to shift blame for the recent shootings in a Colorado Planned Parenthood abortion clinic.

Liberal media is putting forth the idea that it is the rhetoric of the pro-lifers is what sparked the deadly shooting. Let's see... it's not the bloody drain of healthy human blood and the wasting of healthy body parts and the slaughter of innocent babies that's causing all the disgust - it's the fact that we talk about it too much!

Perhaps, I will be found guilty of quoting this saying too much, but it is here that I am forced to use it once again. If we insist that talking against murder, slaughter, terror and all other gross sins is what causes sin and death. Then we can see why Jesus said "... wisdom is justified of her children." (Lu 7:35) This is why, if Planned Parenthood and her justifiers have their way; America will soon arrive at the gates of her first childless generation. There will be no wisdom and no children in our time.

Repentance has been replaced with denial, political correctness and obfuscation, both in our personal and collective lives.
