I have never seen a time in my
life, friends, where this country has suffered so
many natural disasters, from fires to floods to
hurricanes to tornadoes, where unsuspecting victims either lose
their homes or their lives.
I scratch my head and wonder at the
silence of pastors who refuse to speak publicly
about what's taken place in our nation.
God is judging America for her multiplied sins,
and this nation is reaping what she has
sowed, which is violence and murder and perversion
and debauchery, my Bible says in Galatians.
Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap.
Since Roe vs.
Wade and this country, we've murdered over 50
million human babies.
3,000 babies are butchered every day in
this country whose logo is One Nation Under
God.
But this nation mocks God and rejects the
God of the Bible.
Oh, this nation worships some kind of God,
a God of their own creation, one that
is politically correct and one who won't get
in the way of your daily living.
We kicked God out of the public schools
in 1962 and our school grounds have become
killing fields.
Mass shootings take the lives of our young
people today before they can even grow up
to enjoy it.
The legalization of marijuana, homosexuality, or the signs
of a nation in decay, ready for the
junk heap of history.
Ancient Rome was destroyed because it had become
one huge brothel.
So too with ancient Greece.
America today is one huge brothel, from the
west coast to the east coast, from perverted
Hollywood movies to human trafficking of massage parlors
in Florida.
Another tragedy hits our nation through a tornado
where 23 people perish in twisted rubble and
the church is silent as to the reason
why.
But pastors in former days were wiser.
They recognized the remedial judgments of God upon
society through natural calamities and they used those
disasters as opportunities to preach revival sermons, calling
their community and nation and congregations back to
the living God of the Bible through repentance
and humility and nights of desperation and prayer.
Listen to a sermon, friends, preached by a
leading pastor in Boston in 1755 when an
earthquake shook that city.
Listen to the title of his sermon, Earthquakes,
the Works of God and Tokens of His
Just Displeasure, being a discourse on that subject
wherein is given a particular description of this
awful event of providence made public at this
time on occasion of the late dreadful earthquake
which happened on the 18th of November, 1755.
The text of the sermon was Psalm 187.
Then the earth shook and trembled.
The foundations also of the hills moved and
were shaken because he was wroth.
We don't believe in a wroth God today
who would punish sin by any remedial judgment
upon a sin-loving city or even outpour
his wrath upon a sin-loving society like
he did to Sodom and Gomorrah or God
wouldn't act that way today, we believe.
The church is silent because the God she
serves no longer resembles the one found in
my Bible, but this nation nonetheless is reaping
what she has sowed for the word of
God is sure.
God is not mocked for whatsoever a man
soweth that shall he also reap.
