THE UNITED STATES IS NOT DUE GOD'S WRATH AND PUNISHMENT, IT IS OVERDUE!

At fault for this spiritual decay is the church. Until the last 40 years, the Christian church in the United States had a huge role to play in our culture. Now, the church has virtually zero influence over our culture. 40 years ago we left the marketplace for the "Christian trough," a Christian subculture made up of the church, Christian TV, radio, broadcasting, and music, geared to and marketed to people who are already Christians. The "trough" is a safe and profitable place where Christians don't have to deal with the evils of this world.

The byproduct of creating this Christian subculture is that we have left the nation to the wolves of satan. That is why you now have sin being promoted and glorified as normal and acceptable behavior, while righteousness is scoffed and ridiculed. The "trough" is so divided and made up of thousands of fiefdoms, all trying to woo the limited number of people who make up Christendom, that it not only has zero impact on our nation, but has even failed most who are truly searching for Biblcial Truth. Man still has this spiritual yearning due to his separation from God, and to fill the void you have the rise of every kind of cult, fasle relgion, and new age philosophy that is leading searching souls to the flames of hell for all eternity.

My friend, while the church has run and hid, has deteriorated into little more than marketing organizations and entertainment centers, many embracing the sins of this lost world, it is time for the "remnant" to rise up. In Israel, there was always a remnant of the faithful. In my study of the Scriptures, the remnant never had any power to sway the masses. It was the masses who turned their back on God that caused His wrath and judgment to fall on their land. The same will be true in this nation unless we turn back to our Creator and His Truth.

While the high profile preachers go into the Christian media to build their own kingdom, building multi-million dollar buildings, living in opulent luxury, amass great followings, they are doing virtually NOTHING to change the spritual course of this nation nor do they every try. While so-called Christian leaders are being bought off by cult members and compromising the Gospel for their own gain, a nation is spiraling into the spritual abyss awaiting the wrath and judgment of Almighty God.
Unlike the remnant of Israel, I refuse to sit back and watch our once great nation destroyed. My friend, there is NO political answer to this nation's problems, since those problems at the heart are not political but spiritual. That is why there is no politician who can heal our land. It will take a man of God who has no other desire, no other goals, no other purpose but to unite the remnant and go into the marketplace to call this land to repentance or experience the full wrath and judgment of God Himself.

I love you and care about you so much. I have struggled these past 4 years as I have heard God's call to lead the remnant. After so many years on front lines I simply want to share His love, see souls saved, and live a quiet life. However, it is not my life, it is His. It is His plan I must fulfill, not my own. I shared with you back in 2007 that's these days were upon us. Each passing day sees things deteriorate in every way. God's judgment has already began with the incredible financial issues million of people and this nation as a whole are facing. It was God who allowed one of His enemies to ascend to the presidency to lead this nation. His wrath and judgment will continue and get worse each day unless we get on our knees, repent, and turn back to Him and His Truth!
