Ditching Christianity in America
When I turn on my laptop and open a new tab in the browser, I'm automatically taken to MSN-Microsoft Start. There I can see all the "newsworthy" headlines of the day. But almost every day there is another article about how Americans are leaving Christianity, which is true, but it's almost like MSN wants to make it their mission to convince people to leave Christianity. And of course they never provide a trained Bible teacher to refute or offer context to their reporting.
I give you some examples from today's headline titled;
Ditching God: 20 Reasons Christianity Isn’t Accepted By Modern America
1. Disillusionment with Church Leadership
Scandals involving church leaders, such as financial misconduct and sexual abuse, have eroded trust. Many feel that the moral failures of church leaders contradict the values they preach.
2. Perceived Hypocrisy
Many Americans view the church as hypocritical, citing a discrepancy between the teachings of Christianity and the actions of its followers. This perceived hypocrisy drives people away from the faith.
3. Political Alignment
The entanglement of Christianity with conservative politics, particularly the alignment with the Republican Party, has alienated those who hold different political views. Young people, in particular, are turned off by this politicization.
4. Social Issues
Disagreements on social issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, gender equality, and racial justice have caused many to leave. The church’s stance on these issues often conflicts with more progressive views held by younger generations.
6. Scientific Skepticism
The conflict between scientific understanding and religious beliefs has led some to leave Christianity. Issues such as evolution, climate change, and medical ethics are points of contention.
7. Cultural Shift
A cultural shift towards secularism and individualism has made religious affiliation less important. As society becomes more secular, fewer people see the need to belong to a religious community.

As you read through these 20 reasons it's hard not to see that mankind is in full rebellion towards God. Going forward, do you think this is going to get better or worse?
Some folks say, "Yep! Revival is coming!! Just when people are at their worst then God acts and calls us all back to himself with national repentance and personal salvation!"
Hmmmm....that's certainly not what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah.
So we can pray for a revival in America but with all that is happening all over the world and Israel in the crosshairs, I would rather pray "Come Lord Jesus! Blow the trumpet when the Book has every name promised from the beginning."
Jesus said the Last Days would be as they were in the days of Noah and of Sodom. While people were carrying on with their everyday activities thinking that everything was normal....destruction came upon them suddenly. They knew NOTHING of what was coming.
When the trumpet blows and millions of Americans vanish, destruction WILL come upon America suddenly...and our collapse will tear across the entire world because of how our dollar has been positioned as ONLY RESERVE CURRENCY on planet earth since 1945.
