Page 33 - Racing Toward Judgement
P. 33
Multinational corporations are the most popular mis-
sionaries of modern America. While Christ's missionar-
ies are harassed and neglected through lack of funds
and official government support, profit-obsessed corpo-
rations cover the earth preaching a gospel of material-
ism and extortion.
But now I snap my fingers and call a halt to
your dishonest gain and bloodshed. How strong
and courageous will you be then, in my day of reck-
oning? For I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will
do all that I have said.
(Ezekiel 22:13,14 LB)
How can God but judge a nation that spends more
money, time, and energy putting Coca-Cola instead of
Bibles in the hands of all the earth's inhabitants? How
can God not judge a nation that now protects and ad-
mires its merchants more than its missionaries?
This is what I am going to do: I will gather to- -
gether all your allies—these lovers of yours you
have sinned with, both those you loved and those
you hated—and I will make you naked before them,
that they may see you.
(Ezekiel 16:37 LB)
14. A Godly Nation Turns Ungodly
America was once a godly nation. In the Declaration
of Independence, Jefferson wrote of life and liberty as
gifts from God. Our fathers were all united under God.
"In the name of God, Amen." was written above the
first document drawn up by our new government. "In
God we trust" appears on United States coins. Several
of the first signers of our Constitution were graduates of
the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University),
a God-centered school. They were schooled by John
Witherspoon, a minister of Christ's Gospel.
