America going downhill since 1973

There has been a lot of study on this from various financial gurus but I was thinking.....

What was the stimulus that started this downfall?

Was it oil?

Was it housing?

Or is this the result if something else?

What major decision, on a national level, was made by this country in 1973 that would cause a change in it's prosperity?

Could it be that the decision to embrace Roe vs Wade has now brought a national judgment?

Absolutely. 100%. BUT, Roe v Wade was not the 'beginning', it was a symptom of a greater problem, that had begun much earlier. As Christians of all denominations etc began moving away from a Biblical worldview, and embracing modernism and liberalism, and as people began to no longer view the Word of God as something to actually LIVE by but as just a fairy tale to tell the kids on Sunday mornings, the nation of course began to embrace things that are contrary to the Word of God.

It was a series of incremental steps, but I do believe Roe v Wade was a high water mark in the downfall of this nation, definitely.

Psa 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Psa 33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
Psa 33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
Psa 33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

Since this decision from a national level we now see national judgment.

Just recently we have seen the low-mark of gay marriage, gays in the military, the fragmentation of the family structure, and the total offensive against anything Godly and righteous.

The Church is increasingly coming under attack, righteousness is being mocked, Christianity ridiculed and discriminated against, and this is only the beginning.

Canada just opened the door to legalised bestiality. I believe either Oregon or Washington state is making similar moves (again, incrementally, bit by bit). Things that were unheard of only 20 years ago are being passed off as 'mainstream'.

So what is a Godly Christian to do?

First of all, live for God, unashamedly. And that includes promoting the kingdom of God, and His righteousness. Christians are servants of a King. That King has laws, that govern His kingdom. We must stand for His decrees, regardless of what the world says.

We should also remember this warning:

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
(Hosea 4:6)

Get your kids out of the government indoctrination centers, teach them truth instead of humanistic antichristian lies and garbage. Preachers need to emphasise this to parents, the church needs to support and promote saving our children, and Christians need to return to God's ways and hold them up as the blueprint for all we do. Otherwise, if we turn away from God (regardless of our religious professions on Sunday) then our children will be lost.

Hosea 4:6 is being played out before our very eyes.
