Is America Worth Saving?

Is America Worth Saving?
In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Wed., Aug. 29. 2012

The content and title of this letter is taken from Tim Wildmon’s article in afaJournal, Sept. 2012, www.afajournal.org - He’s president of American Family Assoc.

“Is America worth saving from self-destruction? How do we save America? Being active in the political arena, being a good citizen and being a productive member of society are important. But prayer is a key that we must not neglect.

“A group Christian leaders* have come together to offer 40 Days to Save America, a plan for believers to pray daily for our nation during the 40 days leading to the November elections. http://www.40daystosaveamerica.com - voter guide - http://www.afaaction.net

“I (Tim Wildmon) believe the U.S.A. was birthed by the God of the Bible primarily for the purpose of advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ both here and around the world unlike any other country in history.

“Even before we won our independence from England, the Christian faith had begun to spread like wildfire across the land… The evidence was so overwhelming that in 1892, the Supreme Court wrote in the Church of the Holy Trinity v. The United States: “These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declaration to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation.”

“Our country has known freedom for the individual unlike any other country in history. Quite frankly, the idea was novel that people could govern themselves. In order for freedom to be sustained, the masses had to be willing to act morally and lawfully by their own volition or else society would crumble within.

“The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount were how we judged good and evil, right and wrong. Some of that still remains, but respect for those teachings and reverence for the God who spoke them is deteriorating at a very rapid rate.

“In modern day America, there is very little shame anymore. Most Americans have lost their fear of God. We are on the road to self-destruction. Secularists mock the idea of God. Judges even forbid even the acknowledgement of God in many public places. Many in the media elite make fun of Christians…

“What we are experiencing today in America is unbridled selfishness and licentiousness, and the results are manifesting themselves in many terrible ways that will only get worse if things don’t change… Only 43% of our fellow country men go to church today. We are now outnumbered… We can pray to God that He send revival to America. We can continue to build strong Christian families…

“So to answer my own question, yes, America is worth trying to save. For our children, grandchildren and generations to come. There is nowhere else to start over. There is no other New World to which we can sail.”

George H. Kubeck, I believe there are Catholic sources with similar concerns for our country.
