Many Americans, if they haven’t already, are beginning to wonder what exactly has happened to our country.  They are beginning to wonder why our culture is one that embraces moral relativism, secular humanism, sexual permissiveness, and a strong tolerance of false religions and anti-American cultures.  Americans are beginning to realize that no matter how hard they try at home, their children are increasingly being enticed by the ways of the world and are taking on attitudes and beliefs that are in direct conflict with what their parents and their churches have taught them.  Thankfully, many parents have acknowledged the problem and are being proactive in finding solutions.  Unfortunately there are many parents and Americans who have yet to see the problem or rather just consider it a mere natural changing of the times.  Regardless, Americans need to wake up and immediately recognize this problem of intense liberalism that is being force fed to our children through the media, public school systems, our colleges and all other public institutions throughout our nation.  We cannot merely blame liberals who have forcefully and strategically attacked our moral and cultural fabric.  Rather we must look at ourselves as Christian conservatives and criticize the reasons in which we have become mere onlookers in this battle against Christianity in our great country.

In times past, we took for granted our American culture and morality that was deeply laced with Christian principles and ethics.  Before the intruding expansion of the federal government and their social programs of the 1960’s and 1970’s,  the Christian church was a strong influence in our local communities.  Even the rebel on the street corner knew to fear God, if nobody else.  Even the local youth who skipped out on church to play baseball in the park knew that they were in need of a Savior.  Christian culture and morals were so much a part of our daily lives and our communities’ identity that everybody had the decency to respect the values and principles that came from the Bible based church.   

No longer can we take for granted our country’s historical Christian culture.  Today many Americans have disregarded and disrespected the Biblical teachings of Christianity and have chosen their own path of righteousness.  At the same time Christians inside and outside the church have disregarded their call to be a light and the salt of the world (Matt. 5:13-14).  They have decided that they need not step on anybody’s toes or offend anybody with their lifestyle and personal beliefs.  Consequently, our love and living sacrifice for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has gone unnoticed by the vast majority of non-believing Americans, allowing our nation to become more and more secularized by activist liberals.  Christian conservatives have sat back and even abandoned positions and institutions that used to have strong Christian influences such as journalism, television, education, and politics.  We are beginning to reap what we sow as our children are being led like oxen to the slaughter down the path of destructive liberalism.

Christians have entered into this state of complacent conservatism simply because we have had our values and priorities in the right place.  We have put much emphasis on our family life, raising our children with Biblical values, working hard, saving and investing our money for our children’s children, serving our local church and community, and simply leading a quiet life that is pleasing to our Lord Jesus Christ.  Unfortunately, while Christian conservatives were holding up their end of the bargain, other Americans were led astray by worldly and fleshly desires.  They began to take on different values and began to prioritize in a manner that was un-Christian and un-American.

Now our nation’s moral culture and fabric has been destroyed to the drastic effect that even Christian households are being tainted.  It is no longer enough to just raise our children right and protect our own household.  We must come together, align ourselves, and fight this tremendous battle to reclaim and re-institute the Biblical morals and principles that once permeated throughout our great land.  If we do not stand up now, we will not even be able to protect our children in our own household.  The devil is beginning to work overtime.  We must once again fight the good fight.  We must begin to start evangelizing in our workplaces.  We must begin to reclaim positions of high influence in the media, education and politics.  We must be bold in our stand for Christ and not allow liberal activists to influence our children and our American culture any longer.  I pray that we take this stand together for the name sake of Jesus Christ and for our nation’s standing place with the Lord.

God Bless
