Do you see this nation “turning from their wicked ways”? I don’t. Both candidates this time supported gay marriage, abortion, and neither one was a Christian.

God would have saved Sodom and Gomorrah if only ten righteous had been found.

I don't see our nation turning from its wicked ways, unless things get so bad that there is no other choice (but, then, Sodom and Gomorrah were bad and they didn't turn).

However, to me, the problem is not with the wicked - it's with those of us who say we are God's people who are not being the salt and light we are called to be and allow the wicked to triumph. If there were even a small number of truly "righteous" people, I believe God would save our land. The fact that He doesn't appear to be doing so says to me that most of us who call ourselves evangelical Christians are lacking. We need to get our act together before we can expect God to act on our behalf, instead of complaining about how bad things are.
