Seriously? What is wrong with this nation?

Prayers for all the kiddos and their families. I can't begin to imagine the parents' distress.

A lack of leadership.

A lack of leadership.

You are correct sir!

[Bowen Aero]

If little Tommy thinks he's a girl, buy him a dress.

Because the vast majority of us allowed the very few to do it

A loss of moorings?

Here's a thought.

"56 mostly born-again Believers signed the Declaration of Independence, publicly denouncing England and its tyrannical laws—spiritual and political.

Signing that document was considered high treason, and nine paid the ultimate price of death. One-third of them lost their wealth and houses. Scores were imprisoned—with their wives! Yet none recanted.

God was acknowledged and revered throughout the Declaration of Independence and Constitution as the writers pointedly used words like “God” and “Creator.” Most would be considered Bible scholars and were bold in their Christian walk. George Washington said:

“You do well to wish to learn ...the religion of Jesus Christ. Congress will do everything they can to assist you in this wise intention.”

One hundred years later, President AbrahamLincoln reminded the nation we were under God's ordination when he quoted the Declaration of Independence saying:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.:

We know from the original documents and letters our Founding Fathers penned that our new nation’s foundation included these five rock-solid biblical principles.

1) Belief that the world, and all in it,was created by God.

Old Testament
Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

New Testament
Colossians 1:16 “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.”

Today we have moved away from “God created” to “man evolved.” Evolution is taught as fact in all public schools while “creation” is ridiculed.
“Professing to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22).

2) Human life has dignity and a purpose.

Old Testament
Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder.”


New Testament
Mark 10:19 “DO NOT MURDER.”

Up until 1973, anti-abortion laws in some form or another were in place in every state of the union. In 1973, the infamousRoe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision invalidated every state law and made it legal to murder innocent human beings. Since 1973, some 55 million lives have been “legally” murdered in the United States.

“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped the creature rather than the Creator...”Romans (1:25).

3) A strong biblical familyis the backbone of a strong nation.

Old Testament
Leviticus 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”

New Testament
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 “... the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; ... homosexuals...[will not] inherit the kingdom of God.”

In 1960, every state in the Union had a law against homosexual behavior (sodomy). Since 1960, homosexual activists have chipped away at state laws and today, homosexuals (Biblically termed “perversion”) can legally marry now in every state, serve openly in the military, and have IRS designation as a married couple.

Romans 1:26-27 “... women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.”

4) If you work, you eat.

Old Testament
Genesis 3:19 “By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, till you return to the ground.”

New Testament
2 Thessalonians 3:10b “If anyone is not willing to work, thenhe is not to eat, either.”

Up through the 1950s, churches and charitable organizations fed the poor people. In the 1960s, Food Stampswere introduced for the poorest of poor. If you were in dire straits, you could receive about $10 a month to keep from starving, which is equivalent to about $87 in 2014.

In America today, close to 50 million or more citizens receive food stamps averaging $133 a person, or $533 a month for a family of four.

There are also many other government food programs such as:

School meals (Team Nutrition).
Nutrition assistance (SNAP and WIC).
After school (CACFP).
Free School Lunch and Breakfast.

Emergency Food Assistance (TEFAP).

Elderly Nutrition Program.
Head Start.
Summer Food Program.
Indian Food Distribution (FDPIR).

(Interestingly, 45% of the money for each of the above programs is borrowed each month!)

5) Children were raised with aGod-centered education.

Old Testament
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.”

New Testament
Ephesians 6:4 “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”

All of our first colleges and universities in the United States were seminaries.

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God ... handling accurately the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).

The obvious reason was that this new nation held the Bible as the central link to education.Or put another way, American education concluded that without the Bible, there is no truth.

Governor Morris of Pennsylvania was considered the most active member of the Constitutional Convention, addressing the convention delegates over 150 times. He advocated that: “Education should teach the precepts ofreligion and the duties of man towards God.”

Samuel Adams said, “Let...statesmen and patriots unite their endeavors to renovate the age by...educating their little boys and girls...and leading them in the study and practice of the exalted virtues of the Christian system.”

What Happened?

What happened that changed our country from being God-centered to non-God-centered?

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).

From before the time the ink dried on the Declaration of Independence, Satan has been hard at work undermining the biblical values of this great nation.

“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3).

Biblical values in the United States held strong through World War ll. In 1948 God used the United States to stand militarily beside Israel as she returned to her homeland from some 2000 years of being scattered around the world.

I would bet seeing Israel come back as a nation in their homeland, as prophesied, sent Satan on a tirade against his demons. Especially after he had just tried to wipe them off the face of the earth in the Holocaust!

So that evil earthly ruler went after the U.S. with a vengeance. First, a quite liberal Supreme Court was installed. Then, in 1963, Satan used the Supreme Court to disallow prayer in public schools.

The original decision had to do with “mandatory Bible readings” in a Pennsylvania school, but subsequent rulings have left teachers believing that any mention of the name “Jesus” in school isunconstitutional.

So now, 50 years later, you can praise Allah, Muhammad, Lenin, Satan, and Confucius in a public school, but not Jesus, who our founding fathers looked to as the "Creator of all things."

Our children are taught evolution as fact, even though it's a theory, and it's called "science." But public school teachers can't teach the biblical account of creation, even as a theory—even though our original universities taught it that way."

the absolute nationwide addiction to behavior modifying drugs is the root cause of much of this in my opinion. ADD meds, anti depressant meds, meds for this mood, meds for that mood.

we drug up our kids, and then when they stop taking the medication and have never been taught how to deal with their emotions, this is what happens. Parents don't want to tolerate kids with ADD, teachers expect them to sit in desks all day like good little tobys, while they continue to cut recess, and go more structured younger and younger.

Folks we have gotten away from God All Mighty, then people say why does God let this happen, well lets see no more prayer in Schools are at Football games, everything is ok, everything is, O that's Old Testament stuff, God looks at that different now, but folks the GOOD WORD is always the same, it doesn't change time to time, but the Bible tells us it will wax worst and worst til the end of time. We just have to keep praying and keep the faith.

God Bless
