Beloved, do you remember when kids played outside without fear? Do you remember when neighbors knew one another and no one locked their doors? Do you remember when people talked about God with a deep sense of respect?
I do. I grew up in that era of American history.
But something happened. Something changed our nation, diverted our path, and brought a shadow of darkness and oppression to our land.
The time when kids could safely play on the streets is gone. Today they might be plucked from their front yards. Home and car alarms are increasingly more sophisticated to thwart the growing number of thieves who want to steal our belongings. And while God was once talked about with deep respect, our modern world has made Him out to be whatever people want Him to be.
No one likes to talk about it, not even me because it's not a fun topic. But, do you know what? I can think of nothing more important for our country right now because America is at a crossroads. You need to know how God feels about what's going on and more importantly what the Bible says He will do if our nation doesn't change its ways, kneel humbly before Him, and repent.
When I met with the National Religious Broadcasters as a member of the Board of Directors in Nashville in March, 2008, we heard a report about the darkness and growing concern in our Nation's Capital. One of my colleagues overheard two legislators say "America is in a crisis and nobody knows what to do." Does that send chills down your spine?
That is why it is absolutely essential that you and I study the Word of God together on this crisis of America at the Crossroads. I want to stress to you how important it is that you are prepared for the future, Beloved. I implore you don't miss God's call to be ready; to be a worker approved.
America at the Crossroads will open your eyes to what is going on, open your ears to hear the call of God, and open your heart to share with others. The prophets Ezekiel, Haggai, and others kept no secrets. They wrote down God's will for future generations and I believe we are that generation.
