Bro. Eastman,
I personally don’t believe that God would punish this generation of Americans for what the previous generation has done. However, I do think God would punish us for an attitude of superiority and hubris, proudly touting the horrible things we had to do as something wonderful and good.
I think the war we are currently in is a judgment against the carnality of the American CHURCH. God is focused upon his people. But the church is failing in her mission and the nation is at stake. God will judge sin. God isn’t concerned with a “Christian government”…he wants a Christian people. We are failing to reach our country. God is letting us know he isn’t going to wait much longer. We have to reach our communities with the gospel before it’s too late. That’s the only thing that will stay the hand of God. And it has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. It has to do with reconciling men to God through the preached gospel. I think less that 1% of Americans are Apostolic. And we want to argue over television and the standards of our self righteousness. Dude….God isn’t playing.
We’re more political than spiritual. Thanks to our marriage to Dominionism. More people will vote Republican in elections than go door knocking within the next four years.
That’s the problem as I see it.
