America: The Last Best Hope For Christianity And The World Of The 21st Century

Posted on 12/14/2024 11:29:44 AM PST by JAG 5000

I wrote this today to my grandson Robert.

Robert, I wanted you to have this magnificent work by Dr. William J. Bennett "America: The Last Best Hope" in your library. It was published in three separate volumes. This in the complete one volume edition.

I make the bold and true statement that America can NOT be separated from the successful carrying out of Jesus' Great Commission in your lifetime of say 95 years and I think also long long after you have gone to be with the Lord (at age 96.)

You are very much interested in the successful carrying out of Jesus' Great Commission to go and make disciples of all nations and therefore you must be very much interested in the $$ funding engine (America) that powers it economically and with Christian foreign missionaries.

There is no other country in the world of the 21st century that does what America does to empower and push forward and $$ fund Jesus' Great Commission. America alone is THE nation that does that.

Not a single nation in Europe does this. Not a single nation in South America and Central America does this. Not a single nation in Asia or in Africa does this.

America stands alone as THE great $$ funder of Jesus' Great Commission and as the supplier of Christian foreign missionaries and the $$ funder of Christian Organizations on the front lines of Helping In Jesus' Name -- organizations like Samaritan's Purse, Mercy Ships, Gideon's International, NickV Ministries, Joni & Friends, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Operation Heal Our Patriots, and the thousands of local Christian Churches all across America. Let us NEVER forget America's local churches - the web says there are approximately 350,000 local Christian congregations in America. America $$ funds these 350,000 local churches. This alone is a HUGE push-forward of Jesus' Great Commission to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations teaching them to obey the commands and truths that the Lord Jesus gave to the world in the four gospels.

Look over the table of Contents. Spot read in this book. Look at the Index and see if you can find something that especially interest you. Or you can be a real trooper and read all 780 pages, Dr. Bennett titled his work "America: The Last Best Hope" because America IS The Last Best Hope. If America dies then the lights go out and the world returns to The Dark Ages.

God Bless.

As long as it isn’t “The American Gospel” I’m good with that.

America has a huge Christian population and you should have noticed their pushback to the left and how they vote, perhaps you noticed this last election.

Agreed. Post #3's "record amount" of gays and trans is really about the LGBTQ being the loudest whiners.

To be honest, though, we could use another great awakening. There are some clues that tell me we're in the early stages of the next one.

We don’t focus on the serious imperfections of humans. Instead we focus 100% on the VICTORY of the Lord Jesus - His VICTORY over Sin, Satan and Death. Jesus has ALREADY won the War For The World. Put 100% of ALL your focus on Jesus and ignore the serious failures of humans including the serious imperfections of true Christians.

The Lord Jesus, as time unfolds, will gradually Christianize the world through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit blessing simple gospel preaching.

Put your focus on humans and you will always be in a defeated mindset and see nothing cheerful ahead for the human race or for the Christian Church.

Read up on the great and mighty Postmillennial Eschatological System — it will make you happy and victorious in your thinking and in your future outlook.

God bless.

Yes many countries are very religious but they don’t $$ Fund Jesus’ Great Commission which has worldwide many $$ Billions in annual costs — but America DOES $$ fund it.

And no other nation does that.

Some people write “bttt” (bump to the top) or “bump” just to bookmark a post, which is what I did. It puts a link on your individual comments page so you can go back to it later. And by the way, in this season of busyness, I still haven’t read it, but will try to get to it over the holidays. Have a blessed Christmas, Hannukah, Festivus and New Year!
