Are you hot, cold, or lukewarm?

I am an optimist by nature, but a pessimist by trade.  I enjoy studying prophesies of end time events, and I truly believe the end time is near.  The end time for the America those of us from an older generation remember, that is.  As our parents and grandparents endured periods of uncertainty during their time, it is now time for us to endure ours. 

But is it?  Our parents and grandparents faced wars and economic hardships, not the collapse of their country at the hands of those who sought to destroy it by destroying its Constitution.  We could very well be at the precipice of allowing a minority of intellectuals and leaders of fringe elements (Socialist, Communist, community organizers and haters of America) to seize control of our government without any resistance. 

Not many seem to care or to even be apprehensive.  Americans are facing something new.  Most main stream news programs are quiet and are refusing to even consider the possibility of a change in our system of government. Both Democratic and Republican representatives and congressmen are too far removed from their constituents to hear any concerns and when questioned refuse to listen.  Worst still, they are oblivious to the many warning signs that surround them.

Yes, there are a few who, like Paul Revere of Revolutionary times, are calling out a twenty-first century message—“the enemy is here, the enemy is here.”  Soon, however, they will be silenced.  They are already being portrayed as a fringe element bent on inciting turmoil against President Obama and the Democratic Party.   What do you think or have you given it any thought?

Recently I was having some repair work done at my home, and I tried to engage a construction worker into a political conversation by asking, “What do you think about the political mess we have in Washington?”  I was somewhat surprised when he did not embark on a tirade against President Obama.  I pretty much knew what his response was going to be, but I was somewhat taken back when he replied, “I don’t vote so I don’t really have an opinion!”  Men in his profession usually have an opinion and are not shy in vocalizing it. I generally know what that opinion is, but for some reason he did not want to reveal it.  Strange, “I thought.”  Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.  His smile gave him away.

Much like the first century church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22), neither hot or cold but lukewarm,  America’s churches have been lukewarm to God and have embraced the ways of the world.  Therefore, God is allowing America to be a nation of fools.  America did not see a need for God, the Ten Commandments, and now its Constitution so God has no use for America.  Think about it.

So, should you be concerned?  I do not find comfort in a scripture verse from Micah 7:13 NIV, “The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as a result of their deeds.”

Either get up, repent, return to God and start defending the Constitution or return to your television and await the end.  Enough said!
