The Unrepentant Society
Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even
to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and
with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your
heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the
Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth
him of the evil. Who knoweth if he will return and
repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a
meat offering and a drink offering unto the Lord
your God?
(Joel 2:12-14 KJV)
Will America repent? Will God spare us if we do?
What does it take to abort God's set judgments? Nine-
veh repented and was spared. Sodom was destroyed.
We have many Christians in America who believe a
great spiritual awakening is coming and that our nation
will turn back to God. That is the desire of God's heart.
America has already been visited in a mighty way by
God's Holy Sprint. We have witnessed a charismatic re-
newal, a genuine Jesus Movement among youth, and a
growing spiritual hunger among thousands of Chris-
tians. Yet, the wicked around us continue in their evil
ways. In spite of total saturation in the media of good
gospel preaching, in spite of the best religious freedom
in all the world, America has rejected Christ. Though a
remnant now turns to Christ, the masses go on unheeding
the call. Immorality marches on unchecked.
