[Don'tMessWithTexas]

In America, we have developed a national repulsion to accountability. We fail to see that nations are considered moral agents just like a corporation or other institution is a moral agent. We also fail to recognize and remember that there are indeed consequences for sin.

I am NOT saying the WTC atrocity was "caused" by our national sins. On the other hand, if this calamity does not humble us and bring us to our knees as a nation, what will it take? It is not a bad thing to be humbled under His hand. It is a wonderful thing. Repentance is not a bad thing. It is a good thing. Both lead the soul to lean more fully upon our God and Creator. Why are we so averse to the throne of grace?

Yesterday, my church proclaimed a fast to petition God for His protection and seek His favor upon our land and our churches. If ever we needed the Lord before, we sure do need Him now!
