For all the ministers and brethren who know America will continue to decline and eventually collapse, how can we comprehend the times ahead? How can we begin to imagine the greatest nation in the history of the world destroyed from within and without? It will be a far more humbling experience than we can even begin to realize.

Recently, I have been focusing on pride and arrogance because I believe without a doubt in my mind the reason America will collapse is because of the deadly duo that is infecting the country. How many ministers and brethren really see it?

Lying is far more pervasive than people realize. It is simply the American way. It is the driving force behind Washington and it cascades to the average American. Honesty is non existent overall and many people are totally oblivious to how common the lack of truth is. Only when each one of us is a direct victim of its tentacles, will we see first hand just how corrupt the system is and how it is determined to run over anyone in its way.

I hear comment after comment about the president and our elected leaders. What is said verbally can take on a whole new meaning when it comes to putting thoughts into print. I believe without a doubt in my mind that a true warning, if one is going to be given, is the willingness to say what is wrong without fear of consequences. It is called freedom of speech, yet spiritual correctness has caused timidity and resignation by many churches of God who have the ability to speak out, but only feel comfortable with certain subjects.

For the churches who believe they have been given the "great commission" in Matthew 24:14, the timidity to speak out against the sins of the nation's leaders is glaring. Generalities are put in printed form when it comes to showing what the problems are. It has become a spiritual superstition to simply say what needs to be said. The Bible states we are not to be fearful (II Timothy 1:7), but fear has been gift wrapped under the deception of saying we are to show respect towards the office of our leaders and not to ruffle feathers has become the spiritually correct way of approaching the corruption in Washington.

Isaiah 58:1 says we are to "cry out". A trumpet makes a noise. Instead, generic generalities has become the status quo in preaching the gospel for some who believe it is their commission. I do believe that when the ministry and brethren are directly affected by events, than a powerful warning will be given. Until then, the soft sound of a violin will be heard, yet various churches of God will continue to convince themselves they are giving a strong warning message. It is a well maintained comfort zone fully embraced. I believe I've heard it described as Laodacean.

Hello is anyone out there? Who will take a stand and simply say what needs to be said? I know there are a few, but they are in the minority.
