NELSON111:
That verse will fall on deaf ears here. I’ve posted it before...and pointed out that King David refused to rejoice in the stumbling of his adversaries. It wasn’t received well....even by people who claim to follow the scriptures.

That reminds me of another verse:

(2 Chronicles 7:14)
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

What if our country's condition is due to Christians not acting like Christians?
How many of us [can] show our faith by our works?

NorthMountain:
Let us pray, ceaselessly, for the repentance, conversion, and salvation of all American, particularly that of our enemies.

An excellent and pro-active suggestion.

(James 6:16b-18)
The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain and the earth yielded its harvest.

>>>What if our country's condition is due to Christians not acting like Christians?

I think that is exactly what is happening. I've pointed out here and in the pulpit that I think Obama is a judgment from God.

Romans 13:4 says"For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer." I think many times we look at this as its always a good force punishing evil. However, sometimes I think the ruler is a tool to punish evil...and sometimes the tool is bad. IOW-You get what you deserve.
