InTouch Early Light Devotional Monday October 11, 2004 Which Way, America? Psalm 33:12 We are at a critical time in the history of America. Two philosophies have clashed at a crossroads, and only one can prevail and continue forward. One denies God a place in government, while the other insists His ways are the very foundation of government. So we must ask ourselves, How long will the Lord bless a people whose tendency is to turn their collective backs on Him? When a nation recognizes Jehovah, the God of the Bible, as its Lord, then He favors that country with prosperity, protection, and stability. Right now, it is true that we as a nation are the recipients of God�s rich blessings. But by the design of a few, America is being drawn away from the influence of Christianity. We can see the corruption that has resulted from the last century�s attempts at ignoring the country�s godly foundation. Our greatest enemy is not an external threat, but a menace within our own borders: our disintegrating moral character. To steer our nation back onto the right path, Christians must speak up. Our next step is clear and simple: repent of the sin of willful ignorance�first as a church and then as individuals�and get involved in the life of this nation. Jesus tells us to be salt and light, in other words, to influence others with the truth of Scripture. (Matthew 5:13-14) One way to do this is by voting intelligently. Know the candidates� platforms, and vote according to the principles of God and our country, even if doing so won�t benefit you personally. This is our spiritual responsibility. * * * Webcast Available Now! Watch Dr. Stanley's engaging presentation, When the Enemy Strikes, online now!
