Someone needs to wake up the church!
I think we all recognize that America is backslidden from God for the most part. Or at least the ones in power.
I know there are some churches that are trying to raise up prayer partners to pray for America.
Our only hope is in God.

Sister scream it loud, and scream it long! If you truly believe what you posted you will not only pray, but you will set the example. Yes, set an example of how all of us should behave as our America is being consumed with her children. This is an unprecedented time, where the Internet has supercharged our youth to view images that you and I had never been exposed to, when we were their age. Music, movies and young people's novels that focus on horror and the macabre. Next time you go to a Barnes and Nobles, Border's Books, and Books a Million, please go the teenage section. Young peoples' reading that is focused on promiscuity, and vampires. One book that is a national best seller (which never means a book is a good book, but just that it sells lots of copies) is the twilight saga.
As the country goes, so does the church? I will never forget reading a post written buy Pastor Keith McCann. The Brother posted this comment a few times during a thread where a group of us were going back and forth about some issue,( funny, how we don't remember the "issue.") The post that Brother McCann, wrote went something like this, while the Orthodox Russian Bishops, and Prelate's were arguing the length of the tassels on their clerical robes, Russia was falling to the Communists.
What does the future hold? If we keep going this rate, and refuse prayer, fasting, and separation from blending with the World. This country (mostly its cities) will have its people become nothing more than atheistic ghouls.
I don't mean some science fiction dark shadow, but where people will become the darkness, the bestial, and anti-Jesus, that they are now slouching towards. Let’s stay in prayer and win souls to Jesus Christ.
Keep up the good fight.
In JESUS NAME
