Psalm 33:12

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance. Psalm 33:12 God chose Abraham and the nation who would be His decendents Israel. Jerusalem is His Holy City. Even though Israel has stood and fallen many times we see God's faithfulness unfold through history -even now while they consider themselves a nation- not a religious nation. America thought for years it could put on this mantle and act like and talk like and be the example of a nation who put God as a priority. Problem is we have become like Israel tolerating and accomodating what godless people wanted-thinking we can co-exist. The truth is when you love and serve God you cannot be quiet about certain issues and now we make them uncomfortable and the tide is rising against us. They are joining hands and purposes and standing together like a wall to shut up the 'church'. Now we are told we aren't politically correct because we point at say abortion and discuss that no one has a 'right' to take away life. We are haters because we care about an unborn child as opposed to the wishes of the 'mother'. When I was young I heard adults speak of the persecution to come and no one believes it any more but I say the stage is quietly being set, we are not seen as upholding Biblical principles, we are perceived as the ones who won't let people just do their own thing and be silent. I am not usually very political in my writing, but watching the large issues which are looming in our society and the tone that Christians are intolerant, bigots and haters is opening doors that we thought would never be opened here in America.
