1) THE STARK REALITY OF A GODLESS SOCIETYABORTION

Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles. ~ Patrick Henry

  • In a massacre that is almost unspeakable, more than 60 million American babies have been slaughtered in this country since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.
  • Approximately 47 percent of the women that get an abortion each year in the United States have also had a previous abortion.
  • The number of American babies killed by abortion each year is roughly equal to the number of U.S. military deaths that have occurred in all of the wars that the United States has ever been involved in combined.
  • About one-third of all American women will have had an abortion by the age of 45.
  • Approximately 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11.  Every single day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed by abortion when you include all forms of abortion.
  • The United States has the highest abortion rate in the western world.
  • Most women that get abortions in the United States claim to be Christian.  Protestant women get 42 percent of all abortions and Catholic women get 27 percent of all abortions.
  • According to Pastor Clenard Childress, approximately 52 percent of all African-American pregnancies now end in abortion.
  • About 18 percent of all abortions in the United States each year are performed on teenagers.
  • One very shocking study found that 86 percent of all abortions are done for the sake of convenience.
  • A Department of Homeland Security report that was released in January 2012 says that if you are “anti-abortion”, you are a potential terrorist.
  • Some abortion clinics (and now, more recently, Planned Parenthood) have been caught selling aborted baby parts to medical researchers.
  • Planned Parenthood performs more than 300,000 abortions every single year.
  • Planned Parenthood specifically targets the poor.  A staggering 72 percent of Planned Parenthood’s “customers” have incomes that are either equal to or beneath 150 percent of the federal poverty level.  And most of those “customers” live in minority neighborhoods.
  • There are 30 Planned Parenthood executives that make more than $200,000 a year.  A few of them actually make more than $300,000 a year
  • Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government every single year.

Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger once said the following … “The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” ~ But now she is praised in the halls of the U.S. Congress as they continue to wilfully fund this organization for conducting 300,000 baby killings per year in addition to selling baby body parts for “research.” Think about that as you contemplate just where the President and Congress of the United States lays its allegiance – To the Devil or to God?

CONVICTION

America will pay for turning away from the God of the founders; for embracing the wickedness enticing people at every turn; for rewarding corruption and punishing honest efforts; for pursuing hateful oppression and death-dealing machinations while rejecting the life-affirming principles laid out for Truth, Justice, and Liberty in the love of Christ. The United States fulfills the Great Commission more than any other nation on the planet, sending more missionaries into the world than all other countries combined. There is no doubt that these people are called by God, but what about the mission field of America – where are the missionaries here, right on our own soil? Of all the countries on the globe, I strongly believe that today’s America needs God the most. Our nation has been turning from God for a long, long time and the results are all around us. There’s a lot of blame to go around, but first and foremost, I lay it upon the true church; after all, the Bible declares that judgment begins at the house of God. You can say you reject church and religion etc., etc., but when you bow before Jesus Christ the King of kings and Lord of all the earth (and you will bow) your rejection of Him will be your own chosen condemnation.

2) THE STARK REALITY OF A GODLESS SOCIETY – SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND DECADENCE

The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend all to the happiness of man. The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society, He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain. We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found delivered in greater purity than in His discourses. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson

CONVICTION

This nation, unique in the annals of Civilization, was bequeathed and willed to us by upright Godly men and women of character and principle, who recognized that “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” was a God-given right to every person on the planet. Unfortunately, fallen mankind is awash with the very antithesis of that statement from the Declaration of Independence. A moral collapse is eating away at the foundations of our society like cancer.  If it continues to go unchecked, it will inevitably destroy America.  Unfortunately, fixing moral decay is far more difficult than switching out political parties, because it is in the hearts of hundreds of millions of individual Americans.  And most people don’t want to hear anything about a “moral collapse”, because most people like to think that the United States is setting a “good example” for the rest of the planet.  But as you have already seen, that is not the case at all. And if we are honest with ourselves, we see the evidence of this moral collapse all around us every day. As a society, we are decaying from the inside out, and we need to start facing the stark reality of the truth if ever we are going to get this ship of state turned around.
