Our nation began as a Christian nation. There were those who were not believers but they also agreed on the founding principles set by the Bible.
Because the founders had been persecuted in their country of origin, they protected our country’s freedom to worship. They welcomed believers and unbelievers alike to come and live in America. And thus it remained for centuries.
But eventually people began to rely on their father’s faith and did not have their own personal walk with God. This was quickly followed by generations that did not believe in Christ at all. God created man to have faith in God, and when that is removed they will turn to faith in other things or other religions.
The most prominent in our society now is quickly becoming Muslim and Hindu. The rise of Muslim faith is reflected in the vast numbers of Mosques. The rise in Hindu faith is reflected in the quickly rising practice of Yoga, even among Christians.
This is leading to the persecution of Christians in our own country. We see the beginnings of it in mockery, rising law suits and will eventually lead to jail sentences. Jesus told us plainly what to expect. “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be reveled, and hidden that will not be known” (Mathew 10:24-26).
Be steady now and you will be steady later. Waver now and you will fall completely later.
