America's Biggest Problem

If you watch any TV or listen to any radio you are bound to hear a lot of talk about problems in America. So many problems are discussed. Crime of all sorts, political issues, abortion, all sorts of things are out there. Then there is usually some "expert" that comes on to give a solution. We need to reach out, or we need to fund programs to help. Well I am offering up another solution. The one that is always overlooked, or at the very least not mentioned. Addressing all these problems is like a broken arm and just taking aspirin for it. It might dull the pain, but it is not going to fix your arm. The biggest problem we are faced with is the fact that over many years people have waged a war to remove God from any and everything in the public eye. We are now seeing the results of this plastered across the news every day. There is no moral standard with out God. People truly do not know how much they are violating God's law. Man's standard of conduct is far inferior to the perfect standard that is the very nature of God, lived out in the flesh by Jesus Christ. The solution should be quite simple, the great commission. Christians must spread the word. We simply must hold up the mirror that is the Ten Commandments to show people their sinful ways. We must also stand up to defend public displays of our Lord and His Laws. God's chosen land, Israel, went through things like this too. The people were distracted from God and slowly fell into heresy and God allowed them to be overrun by other nations. I'm not going to quote a verse to back that up, it's pretty much the entire book of Judges.
On a related side note. I heard a shocking fact on the radio this week. Since Roe vs. Wade, abortions are closing in on 50 million, this is 38 times more deaths than all America's wars, revolutionary through Iraq. Yet people still have the nerve to protest the war and defend abortion. Shocking.

• Mark 16:15-16 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
• Acts 5:4-11 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” She said, “Yes, for so much.” 9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.

They were struck down for one lie. Sin is exceedingly sinful, no matter how man views it. The fault in our thinking is we view sin as against man, what makes it so terrible is that we actually sin against the perfectly Holy Lord, our God.

• Acts 28:26-27 26 saying, ‘ Go to this people and say: “ Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; And seeing you will see, and not perceive; 27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.”’
