What is the default condition of a society which ignores God's word and does its own thing? The default is, high crime, rape, transgender trends, homosexuality, Satanic worship, child abuse, slavery, corruption, divorce, immorality, murder, cruelty, fraud, deception, etc.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." " Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord". God's desire for us is to have knowledge of Him and peace with Him as well as with others. He wants each one of us to know Him personally and listen to Him. A nation without God will fall apart. But there is hope.
"If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
The reason we have such a high rate of professing Christians, yet at the same time, so much chaos, is because we don't fear God any more. Our God is too little. We control Him with our wants and desires. We worship Him as if He were a Genie in a Bottle. We use God to get what we want.
Many pastors and Bible teachers believe the Bible is subservient to culture. Culture has the final word on what we believe is true. Is it any wonder that we can't hear God's voice any more? Perhaps this is the answer to the question of why we do not see miracles today. People in third world countries see God doing miracles. Americans generally don't. Could there be a connection?
Something to think about.
