Our country is in spiritual trouble morally. Greed. Lying. Adultery. Homosexuality. Abortion. Every sin condemned in the Bible is practiced today in America and many of them are condoned and exalted in America.
It is easy to ask God to just curse the country. Like James and John wanted Jesus to do in Luke 9:51-56 – “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” It is easy to just say, “God, destroy the country and let’s start over.” There are those who would rather just curse the darkness.
But God doesn’t call us to curse the darkness. He calls us to rebuke and to teach those who are in darkness. The world was in darkness when Jesus came. “The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great light, and those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, upon them a light dawned” (Matthew 4:16, quoting Isaiah 9:2).
We can sit around and lament how great things were in the 50s. That will not help us at all. We can sit around and groan that things are getting worse. That will help us feel worse but then won’t do anything else. Or, we can shine a single candle in a dark world.

Christianity was the minority religion then, too. But listen to Paul’s words from Philippians 2:14-16: “Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding fast [holding “forth”, KJV] the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain and toil in vain.”
The church of Christ eventually grew and thrived and converted many, many people in the Roman Empire. It can do the same in the United States of America. Do you believe this? Do you believe that God will “soon crush Satan under [our] feet” (Romans 16:20)?
It can and He will. IF we will stick to living and teaching the Word of God. Hold fast to the Word and hold forth the word.
