America: Turn back to and trust in God
By Madeline Crabb
We are living in perilous times. America faces an economic collapse due to our enormous debt. Wars and rumors of wars abound worldwide, and threaten even our country. And a nation founded on godly principles, by godly men, has become a cesspool of sin and immorality that, like the Roman Empire, is obliterating America from within. What is our response?
A great majority of Americans seem oblivious to the signs of our demise, or that what the Left calls "progress," is really a nation rejoicing in their rebellious behavior against God. Some indeed understand we have problems, but they trust government to fix these problems. So uninformed and uneducated we've become that people no longer realize GOVERNMENT is at the root of the problem. The only way to stop our downward slide is to turn back to and trust in God. Government cannot be trusted.
As we discussed in my last series, "America has turned her back on God, now God has turned His back on us," America is now under the judgment of God. He has been slowly lifting His hand of protection over America, allowing us to succumb to disasters, and attacks from within and without. One day in the future, it will seem as if the very floodgates of hell are being released as we receive the full brunt of God's wrath upon us. Nobody but God the Father knows how soon this will happen, but rest assured Americans will experience God's righteous wrath and judgment if we don't individually and corporately repent of our sins – if we don't turn back to God and trust only Him.
Barack Obama has made it very clear that he doesn't believe in the God of the Bible. Rather, he praises Islam and its god. He also proclaims to the rest of the world that we are no longer a Christian nation. Yes, he is entitled to believe in whomever or whatever he wishes, but before saying we aren't a Christian nation, he should check his facts. In 2011, a Gallup poll showed that 92 percent of Americans believe in God. When the question, "Do you believe in God" was first asked by Gallup in 1944, the number was 96 percent. So, those who don't believe in God are a very small number. Repeatedly, polls show that Americans are overwhelmingly Christian. Further, polls show that 80 percent of Americans believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. And yet, look around you. Evil and sin abound! And most of it is endorsed and legitimized by our government. Still, some naïve Americans actually believe government can direct us on the right path.
As we have discussed before, there have been forces busily concocting new ways to lie to America in the hope of destroying America. The most effective force has been from Socialists and Communists. Joseph Stalin said, "America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: Its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within." To destroy us, the following are some of the Communist goals for America that were read into the Congressional Record in 1963:
When we hear our elected officials talk about progressivism, social justice, and doing things for the "greater good, they espouse socialist rhetoric. Progressivism is Socialism. As Vladimir Lenin proclaimed, "The goal of Socialism is Communism." Therefore, the Progressives' goal for America is Communism. For all intents and purposes, we are no longer a Constitutional Republic, but a Socialist state, led by Communist-in-chief Obama. The U.S. Constitution means little any more. The "state" has ALL the power and wields it any way it wishes to control We the People. But I fear we haven't seen anything yet.
There is a group of citizens who know the solution for all our nation's woes: the Christian community. But many are either afraid of repercussions for speaking out, or have allowed their faith in God to grow cold. And yet, this group represents the majority of Americans. Dear friends, if those of us who believe in God don't boldly stand against the evil that's destroying America, then who will? Jesus warned us that we would face persecution because of our belief in Him. Christians in other nations have been punished and even killed for believing in Jesus. (As in Obama-loving Muslim nations.)
While studying and researching for this column, I discovered an incredible video that every American should watch. Agenda: Grinding America Down, is an accurate, understandable, and educational discussion of factors contributing to America's demise. Entire families should watch it together. Perhaps it will awaken some who have fallen asleep. The movie link:

As mentioned in this movie, morality is our greatest strength! A familiar quote is, "America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." There is some question about whether French Statesman Alexis de Tocqueville actually said these words, but their meaning rings true. We are still basically good, but the decline in our morality has caused us a diminished status in the eyes of the world. We export tremendous immorality around the world. Further, we push our sinful, immoral mindset and ideals on other nations. Consequently, we are ceasing to be great.
President John Adams said, "It is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue." For America to survive, we must remember our history, turn back to, and then trust in God. He is our only hope of survival. To anyone willing to hear....

If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within." To destroy us, the following are some of the Communist goals for America that were read into the Congressional Record in 1963:
-
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity, masturbation and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use "united force" to solve economic, political or social problems.
When we hear our elected officials talk about progressivism, social justice, and doing things for the "greater good, they espouse socialist rhetoric. Progressivism is Socialism.
