Godly nation?

A few years back some statistics were from a study at Graduate School of the City University of New York:



*9 out of 10 Americans say they have never doubted the existence of God

*9 out of 10 say they still pray

*8 out of 10 believe God still works miracles

*7 out of 10 believe in life after death

*7 out of 8 identify with a Christian denomination



A Gallop poll found a high percentage of Americans believe in life after death and that 60% believe in damnation in hell. 96% believe in God and 60% believe the Bible is the Word of God and should be followed.



Sounds pretty good doesn't it? Until you see statistics like this:



*Over 50% of marriages end in divorce.

*More than a million children a year are affected by divorce.

*60% of children born in the 1990's were living in single parent households.

*69% of Americans believe there are few absolutes, they believe right and wrong depend on the situation!



Something is very wrong here! Few moral absolutes yet believe in the Bible? The Bible is absolutes....God's way! America appears so spiritual in polls but when we look at life, decisions being made, church attendance, government decisions, abortion, prisons, ect, it is very easy to determine we have fallen of the wagon of faithful followers of God.



Isaiah 29:13

Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,



2 Chronicles 7:14

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.



It don't matter who is President, if you are a democrat, republican, independent, if you are white, black, how much money you make or anything else, America will continue to deceive its self and go down hill until we turn to God in everything! The Bible is truth and we must obey and follow what it says!



As a whole we are NOT a godly nation right now but we can be if we repent and turn to God.
