The Fulfillment of Scripture in America's Disobedience

Wow!! Listen to these two broadcasts on Focus on the Family's website from John MacArthur. This is one message in two parts delivered last month on the National Day of Prayer. This message details MacArthur's position that America is currently under the wrath and judgment of God revealed by his abandonment of our land. I agree completely.
Here is a painfully accurate statement from the second half of the sermon...
"There's no surer indicator of a corrupted, wicked and abandoned society under God's wrath than when that society does not tolerate anger against sin." - Rev. John MacArthur
Sound familiar? It was just last week that our own Congress attempted legislation that would begin to silence publicly spoken opposition to many "politically correct" social and moral issues labeling it as hate speech and with the stroke of a pen making your thoughts and words criminal in the land.

The evidence comes from the fulfillment of Romans 1:18-32. God has given America over to a reprobate or a depraved mind. As I listened to this message I struggled to find any public example to refute this condition. This is pointed and in your face preaching that the Church desparately needs to hear and embrace.

There is hope that God desperately seeks to deliver.....look at these words from Psalm 81. God requires obedience and hates sin. His reward for walking in His ways are great!

13"Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! 14"I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries. 15"Those who hate the LORD would pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever. 16"But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
Psalm 81:13-16
