"America has become a humanistic society" says Dr. David Reagan of christinprophecy.org . He also tells us that "The core belief in humanism is its conviction that man is capable of solving his own problems without any supernatural intervention from God."
2 Timothy 3:1-5 tells us: (1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (4) traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (5) having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
All of the above things are prevalent in the world today, and perhaps especially so in America. In verse 2 above it mentions that men will be lovers of their own selves.......that is humanism. In verse 4 it tells us that men will be lovers of pleasures.....that is hedonism. In 1 Timothy 6:10 it tells us that the root of all evil is the love of money.......that is materialism. Many people today make money their god.
You have to admit, America is guilty of all of the above sins. Following is a 28 minute video from christinprophecy.org which goes into much more detail and also discusses "God's prophetic voices to America" :
America is indeed in deep trouble and long overdue for judgement from God, as many have forgotten Him and many do not have a close, personal, intimate, love relationship with the Lord. You must read and study your Bible to hear God "speak" to you; and you must pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). That is how you build a relationship with God, by communicating with Him.
"Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you....." - James 4:8a
Jesus gave us many signs to watch for concerning the end times, which we are now living in....in fact, we are in the last "hour" of the end times. Read all of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 to discover these signs of the last days.
"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." - Jesus speaking at Luke 21:36
If Jesus returns tomorrow, or even in the next hour, would you be ready? Can you honestly say that you know Him, believe in Him, have faith in Him, and that you long to be with Him for all eternity?
When Jesus walked the earth almost 2,000 years ago, the religious leaders of that day were not expecting Him to come as a "meek lamb". They were expecting a conqueror to free them from the Romans. So they missed Jesus' coming, so much so that they crucified Him. Go here to read an article titled "Do Not Miss His Coming."
America is in deep trouble because it is so full of ungodly people and people who have no love of God whatsoever. Most everyone just wants to do their own thing. And that is not to mention the violence we see today and the corruption in politics and I could go on and on. In the days of long ago, God would send enemies to wreck havoc on Israel when that nation would turn from Him and get caught up in sin and in worshiping other gods. In that sense, they had rejected the good Lord, and they paid the price, often becoming captives in a foreign land. God punished them severely, just like He will punish America.

We can get so caught up in everyday living, work, family, and just also having a good time, that we have no time for the Lord. We let things of the world crowd Him out. In other words, we do not put Jesus first in our life. That is the worst mistake anyone can make. Your eternal destiny depends on the choices you make right now. Choose Jesus and spend eternity in paradise with Him; choose the world and its desires, and spend eternity in hell.
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." - James 4:4
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" -
Deuteronomy 30:19
The good news is:
Jesus loves you !!
He will pardon your sins and wipe the slate clean !
Choose Life
Choose Jesus
Come to Him in repentance. Pray for forgiveness. Believe with all your being that Jesus is the Savior, and that you need Him. You must have belief in His resurrection also as Romans 10 tells us. If you are truly a follower of Jesus, you will live a godly life and put the Lord first.
Romans 10:9,10,13 informs us: (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9
