America Is in Serious Trouble

There is a growing consensus throughout the body of Christ.  America is in serious trouble. We have reached the point of no return. And, short of a divine miracle, judgment is inevitable—such a judgment as you and I have not witnessed in our lifetimes.

But don’t take my word or anyone else’s word for it. Look into the Scriptures and decide for yourself. Is judgment coming?  That’s a question we must answer in the light of God’s Word.

 But there is also a second part to this message.

 Yes, God judges evil nations. But in the midst of judgment, God always has His remnant.

 Who are the people who make up the remnant? They are the remaining faithful.

 They are the apple of His eye.

 They are the ones He protects and provides for and cares for.

 And, ultimately, they are the ones He preserves.

That is not to say that their lives are free from difficulty. When the entire garment is shredded, the remnant suffers. But the remnant has the promises and character of God to sustain it in difficult times.

If you are part of the remnant, then you should know this: There’s a good chance that things will get worse before they get better. And if that is the case, then everyone will suffer. Those who rebel suffer the consequences of their sin. They are walking the broad path that always leads to destruction. But I won’t try to kid you. Those who are seeking to follow Christ also suffer. We suffer because we grieve over what we see. We suffer because we are swimming upstream against the current of evil. We suffer from exhaustion, loneliness, and discouragement. We suffer because sin takes its toll on our own lives; it is tough to have a good marriage and raise up godly children in these days in which we live. We suffer because every day is a battle to stay close to Christ and follow Him with our whole hearts.
