First, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: America has been inviting judgment on itself for a long time. Most of the world has, for that matter. But the United States of America, founded as one nation under God, has truly betrayed its heritage in many ways. We have become a nihilistic, hedonistic, self-centered, humanistic nation. The Lord has blessed this nation so greatly, and because of those blessings, we have a profound responsibility. If we continue to push God out of our public life, He is going to withdraw His blessings. (H. Lindsey, The Final Battle)
