Gospel Weapons To Save America

 Starting with Eric Metaxas's book Letter to the American Church, which as I keep saying I haven't yet read, or heard, I've been definitieoloy drawn into the theme of recovering this miserably damaged nation we live in, despite the strong feeling that the Lord is right at the door ready to return and bring it all to an end.  I know that book I haven't yet read is all about calling the Church to speak up for the America we are losing to the destructive forces of the Left, and in response to a prayer for guidance after hearing about that book God told me to wear a MAGA hat.  Yers I'm sure it was God who told me to do that although I haven't yet been out of my apartment so I have yet to obey Him and that does mamke me nervous.  But He seems to be saying yes we need to be working to save this nation.  All of us, whatever role we are in a position to play.

Metaxas' book was the start of it for me.  But I think Levin's new book The Democrat Party Hates America could play a huge role in this effort and that's the next one I want to get through my Services for the Blind Audio Books system.   

It's God who has to guide this and I think He is doing it.  I just heard a great talk by Ben Carson at Classical Christian Schools, Association of Classical Christian Schools, which is where Rosaria Butterfield gave the talk I mentioned in the previous post, Five Lies of our Anti Christian Age.  Carson is talking at a conference called repairing the Ruins which pretty strongly affirms the effort to save the nation.  It's a great talk he gave, fulol of humor and pointed analysis.   

He quoted Skousen who wrote The Naked Communist, another book I need to read, who listed their plans for destroyihng America from sixty years ago which have almost all been fulfilled by now.  Scary stuff.  He also echoed some of my own recent thiemes about the founding of America on CHrisstian principles and de Toqueville's recognition of our religious morality as our strength.  that being what we've lost above all.  And Skousen pointed out that the Communist list of goals focused on destroying our moral foundations.  That has certainly been accomplished.

The one thing we need above all is the recovery of the biblical worldview that launched the nation \, the biblical mjorality if nothing else but a huge movement of evangelism to bring in millions of converts would be the most powerful effect if the Lord would grant it.   

I know I'm repeating myself a lot lately but \\\\ but it's SO imortant.  All those churches that Rosaria B identified as traoitors and cowards for refusing to stand for God's word over the claims of the LGBT etc etc they all need to wake up and repent and ive themselves to the Lord's work, skhaking off the tentacles of the world.  If the Church repented and focused on doing the Lord's work this evil national and even global menace could be overthrown in short order.
