Thank God for the Democratic Congress took over Gov two yrs ago. Our economy has flourished since then. N.O.A.H.: More ICE at the poles now than there has been since records have been kept Thanks AL for changing everything. Diesel fuel$4.35 a gal. Thanks Liberals for strangling energy in the U.S. You have now shown those mean capitalist that you can destroy any Nation, even the U.S. 35 billion a month to support illegal aliens. Thanks Liberals for Abortion on demand. 50 million dead American baby's. |

Soon food and housing will be for the rich only....290 million of us will be living in the streets soon. Finally, the world can come to a complete halt and the strong can rise to absolute power.. I have put forth this message for 20 yrs. I don't hear anyone laughing except Liberals. |

I don't follow politics too much. They report what they want you to know or what they think you want to hear. How many stay honest after elected anyway? Has the war in Iraq kept us safer? The US used to be a feared country. I don't think so anymore. We rely too much on other countries for our livelihood. |

George W. Bush once stated that he was going to bring "Democracy" to Iraq and the Middle East. "Democracy" seems to have come to both Iraq and Hamas. With all the violence?
I think that the reason for the decline of the USA is the decline in the nation's leadership integrity. A lot of what George W. Bush told us turned out to be nothing but lies.
Remember MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? Why is the USA still in Iraq 5 years (and $500 billion) later ?

I've always watched to see how a, newly elected, president would treat Israel because i believe the truth of the Word that you've mentioned.
When Clinton became president, I wondered if the end were near. Then, he supported Israel and we're still here. |

We need to repent of our misplaced courtesy that we show towards our enemy, the devil.
We need to reconnect with the heart of God.
We are experiencing firestorms. The enemy is standing up and opposing Christians everywhere.
Tepid sermons, powerless in these times.
Captains preaching on the Titanic, telling the passengers, "we stopped to get ice." |

In Genesis 12:2-3, GOD makes it clear that nations that bless Israel will be blessed. Nations that don't, will be cursed and decline.
The USAs support for Israel's peace treaties has weakened both nations. GOD doesn't like those treaties. Exodus 23:31-33.
The USA seems to be more concerned with being able to purchase oil from the Middle East than with defending Israel.
Strange, but the Bible says that such situations will happen.

In the past, way in the past, we had some men in leadership in this country who had the fear of God. They worshiped God. In some of their speaches these strong leaders would use God's name in them. Not so now days. I am warning you: "God won't share His glory with no mere human". "ALL Man's plans will come to a naught". It is time that this country stopped bragging about how great it is. "Without God it will never be a great nation".>>God will see to it. |

**I don't remember America in the 50's being about Jesus and God's peace and loving all other countries as ourselves.**
VERY good point, Bill! :-) |

Barbara, Augie's manner seems unique and new. So...in case I'm right (o: welcome, Augie (o:
God's Spirit of peace is everywhere. So, any of us who seek first the kingdom of God can have this peace. And, most of all, we need to be concerned about pleasing God.
I don't remember America in the 50's being about Jesus and God's peace and loving all other countries as ourselves. |

Very sad, but true Augie. We are becoming a 3rd world country. Our National debt is atrocious, we're even in debt to China! We definately DO NOT have the standing we once held.
BTW Welcome Augie, I haven't seen you here before, unless you were using another name. I gave you your first vote. |

For years and years all I heard was the
us is the greatest nation on earth. Her
sins have reached into heaven.(murders,
greed, pride ect). Mystery Babylon is the
us. God says this,"For so much have you
glorified yourself and said in your heart,
I sit a queen and know no sorrow. I will
bring your destruction, and the merchants will weep and howl when they see your burning and the smoke of your burning, for they can't
sell their goods to you anymore." |

We are No longer the Christian Nation we once were. It pains my heart to see the moral decay. I lived in the 50's and know that comparing then and now is like comparing good and evil. Being a Christian in todays USA is being called, intolerant, unbending, and a Faith of Hate. When we are just the opposite. We love our fellow man and want to keep them from hell. But we are "politically incorrect". |

A couple of years ago I read a news article that stated that the USA was #1 in some areas. Including:
Debt
Consumer Spending
Energy Usage
Pollution
Family Breakdown
Infant Mortality
Health Care Costs
Weaponry
I'm sure that there are others areas. The author of the report probably wasn't trying to be "negative" or bad-mouth the USA. They were just trying to give report readers "a picture" about what the spiritual health of the USA. |

Know we no longer have favor with God. Our hour has come. There will be no recovery. The slope is slippery and will only get steeper, but never fear. If the Spirit of Christ is in you you will not be here beyond the rapture. If you fail to make the rapture and I suggest you prepare for death by beheading!!!!!!! if you dare witness for Christ. |

There is nothing new under the sun. I am more interested in America's position with God. As a nation we need to turn to God not away from Him. There is a remnant rising to see God's Glory manifested in this hour. |

The main problem with we Americans is that we think we are the center of the world. We aren't! |

The problem is what some people call decline others call progress or "freedom."
It's a very sensitive issue with me, I've cleared my post now about three times, but you just can't cut the line cleanly, bad or good.
Freedom is an ideal both positive and negative moral aspects of civilization thrive under. When the moral decline occurs any nation will begin to self destruct one human relation at a time and it's poor will feel like slaves. In our case much of the world hates us too. |

Moderator:
I firmly believe that we need to pray for ALL the nations in the world. That their people will repent and turn back to GOD.
We have no other choice if we want to prosper. I just hope the nations come to realize that before Jesus Christ returns. |

A lot of Americans think that the USA is the prophetic and spiritual center of the universe.
It's not. |
