Today we are seen as the divided states of America.

Hosea 4:6

King James Version (KJV)

⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Someone has said

“America is …,uh,is no longer,uh… what it could be, what it once was, and I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children,”

Of all the wrong statements that has been made about America by many people I’ll have to say, this one is about right in some respects although I don’t agree with the policies of the man who made it.

America is no longer what it could be or what it once was its greatness is gone with the past.

Those of us who grew up during the 1930’s,1940’s,and 1950’s know full well that America today is far from what it was in that period of time.

The America of our time was one nation under God holding to the principals of liberty and justice for all.

We were the United States of America.

Our America was one that had faith in Almighty God most of our citizens loved and cared for one another and helped each other get through hard times. Honesty and integrity were prevalent deals could be made and contracts could be signed with a handshake. Our doors could be left unlocked and our windows could remain open around the clock and no one would break in or take something that belonged to someone else. We did not have to fear for our lives or bodily harm from some deranged person or terrorist while in public or in our own homes.

Our children were taught to love honor and respect God, country their parents and their elders. They were taught work ethics as soon as they were able to walk and talk.

Most of our generation lived by the Bible the ten commandments of God and had good reputations and moral character.

Sure there were a few bad apples in the barrel but unlike today most were good. In today’s generation there is more spoiled bad ones than there are good apples the whole barrel is almost all rotten.

In those days foreigners came to America for hope of a better life for their families. They came here to escape the slavery of their dictator governments. They came here to become Americans they learned our language and our life principals and joined us in becoming American citizens.

Today they come into our country illegally they cling to their own languages and customs refusing to learn ours and divide America into a bunch of little countries.

America’s people are divided by race, politics and religion.  If Americans continue down this road its future is collapse and destruction.

Today we are seen as the divided states of America.

If we are to survive as a great nation leading the world in hope and promise of something better we desperately need revival of the old ways. We need to return to the faith of our forefathers, we need to return to the relationship we once had with our God. We need while there is still time, to begin teaching our little ones to love and fear God who controls all things and to love and respect our nation.

How can we expect them to keep the laws of the land unless we teach them to keep the laws of God?

I am the opposite of the man who made the above statement in his political speech.

I wish for America to become all that it can be by returning to the nation it once was.

It is the future America is now heading for that I don’t want as a future for my grandchildren and great grandchildren to grow up in.
