Righteousness Exalteth A Nation, But Sin Is A Reproach To Any People
By David J. Stewart
January 2013Proverbs 14:34, “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”
America became a great nation by righteousness. Settlers from all around the world migrated to America and Christian values were commonplace. Still today there are stone engravings of Moses and the Ten Commandments in the Supreme Court building in our nation's capital. America was made great by the faith of our founding fathers. Although many of them weren't born-again Christians, they were morally-minded men guided by religious principles. Even heathen men still shared the one common denominator of belief in a divine Creator, a God. Righteousness lifts up a nation, but sin brings a nation to its knees. It's been said that Americans always do the right thing after trying everything else first.
Righteousness is NOT what you nor I think. The popular idea today is that there is no right or wrong. Biblical righteousness is what God says is righteousness! If the times change, God still knows what's right or wrong. God never changes (Malachi 3:6). You can't hide in a corner from God. You can't hide in The White House from God. You can't do evil and hide it from God (Hebrews 4:13). God makes the rules. It's up to a nation to choose whether or not we are going to obey God's rules. The more that we stray from those divine rules, the more we lose our influence and power as a nation. We want to control our own destinies to the point where we want to decide what is right. People want to do right, but they want to choose what is right. It doesn't work that way. God chooses what is right!
The Bible warns that every man will give account, and be held accountable by God. Matthew 12:36 says that men shall give account even for their words spoken. Nothing, not even our thoughts, will escape the judgment of God (Proverbs 24:12). The Bible teaches in Proverbs 14:34 that righteousness exalts a nation. This is why still today America is considered the greatest nation in history. Sadly, that reputation is quickly changing. Our nation was founded upon faith in a supreme Creator. America was NOT founded upon the false religious cults of Mormonism (started in 1830), Jehovah's Witnesses (1874) and other demonic religious organizations. America was founded upon Christian principles. In sharp contrast, our nation's leaders have heathen ideas today.
Our nation is out of control spiritually. Abortion is wrong because God says it is. It doesn't matter what I think, nor what you think. All that matters is what God thinks. Homosexuality is a sin. Lying is a sin. Most people today are living for agendas popularized by the liberal newsmedia and demonic Hollywood. We ought to be living according to the principles of God's Word. Only by righteousness can a nation be exalted. America is a disgrace, an embarrassment to the world today. Our women strip naked, walking around nude, rude and crude. American women are an embarrassment to our nation. The song, “American Woman,” by Lenny Kravitz with the ever-popular lyrics “American Woman, Stay Away From Me!” has become a national anthem for many men. Asian women are known for being far more respectful toward men, and toward their elderly and fathers. The reason is because feminism is not tolerated, nor is it promoted in their cultures (as it is shamefully here at home in America).
Homosexuals are immoral people. That's irrefutable. I say this with kindness, not to be mean. Homosexuality is a vile sin condemned by God's Word; therefore, anyone who chooses to live the homosexual lifestyle is an immoral person by choice. The horrible fact is that a person who is immoral in one area is GOING TO BE IMMORAL IN EVERY AREA. If you disregard God's Word in one area, then you're going to disregard the Bible elsewhere too. Homosexuals are guided by their own sense of right and wrong, and not by God's morality. There are not different levels of morality. There is only one level of morality, and that is God's Word. As sinful men continue to change, moving farther away from God's holy standard in the Bible, America gets worse and worse! Homosexuals are immoral people by choice, which means that they are 100% more prone and likely to support and commit other forms of evil. Anywhere where homosexuality is accepted and practiced, there is every form of evil imaginable.
John Bunyan refused to apply for a license to preach, so the court imprisoned him for 12-years. Bunyan authored the entire book of Pilgrim's Progress while in prison. He wrote on the back of milk-bottle lids. His wife smuggled the caps out. Today the book Pilgrim's Progress is the highest selling book in history next to the Bible. Bunyan stood for his Christian convictions and paid the price! Would to God that we had more Christians today who are willing to pay the price. 2nd Timothy 3:12 says that Christians who live godly in Christ Jesus SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION. Not maybe, but SHALL. Today's ecumenical puppeteers, which dare call themselves ministers, are a disgrace to the name of Jesus. They don't suffer because they are spiritually dead, worldly and milquetoast. As Evangelist Phil Kidd says in his sermon IN THE LAST DAYS (MP3), many of today's big churches aren't growing, they're swelling like a rotting dead corpse!
Bless God, we need some John the Baptists today! We need some Billy Sundays! Wake up America! May we as Christians stand up for what is right like John Bunyan did, valuing the praises of God instead of the praises of man (John 12:43). Sin has brought much reproach upon our nation. America is hated around the world because of all the evil that our leaders have done. We have the power to stop them, but not enough of us care to do it! OUR leaders do what they do in OUR name and with OUR money and with OUR children in the military. Hence, it is OUR business!!! It's wrong that our troops are exploited as paid heroine farmers in Afghanistan and mercenaries in Iraq. The U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan have absolutely NOTHING to do with protecting our nation's freedom.
President Obama is relentlessly doing as much damage as possible to America, because like the Devil he knows that his time is short. The globalists have to move fast while the American public are still trying to figure out what's happening. When Americans finally awake from their spiritual slumber, it will be too late, because you'll be looking down the barrel of a fascist jackboot gun in your face. Obama is a Communist and only supports subversive agendas which are destructive to our republic. Almost daily now in the news, President Obama is setting up a Police State in Amerika. The handwriting is all over the wall. President Obama is a puppet of the Wall Street financiers, occultists and globalists, the secret powers behind Washington politics and our military. The globalists are deliberately doing everything possible to subvert, corrupt and destroy America. The most Christian nation in history is now becoming the most Godless nation in history. Sin is a reproach upon America.
The Iraqi war was wrong. Churches actually supported the tyranny, not researching the matter nor listening to alternative news sources to learn the truth. Preachers like me who told the truth during the lies and tyranny of the Bush administration were mocked, hated and scorned. Now President Barack Obama is a Communist who's setting up a Communist regime quickly... stealing, lying, gun-grabbing, catering to Wall Street interests, treason, you name it! Most professed Christians are woefully naive of what's really going on. It's a serious matter because it will affect your future and the future of your children and grandchildren. Do you want TSA sticking their hands down your family's pants and skirts at checkpoints all over the place? Do you want to turn in your guns and trust the government not to oppress you?
Due to ObamaCare, private healthcare premiums have already skyrocketed. National healthcare won't work forever. Someone's got to pay the bills. As the economy continues to tank into depression, the overburdened healthcare system will get worse and worse. America cannot survive economically without jobs here at home. Deindustrialization (sending jobs to foreign soil) has destroyed our economy. How can anyone afford anything without a decent job. This is all on purpose by the globalists; thus, making CEOs and bankers wealthier, forcing Americans into poverty, and making Americans to be completely dependent upon the government for everything. Their goal is a New World Order, which can only be achieved by destroying America. Out of chaos will arise a New Order.
God is in control of the universe. The Bible teaches that God controls the kings of this world. God does not cause them to sin, but God can turn the heart of the kings. Daniel 2:21, “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.” The Bible teaches that God will heal any nation that repents of sin and turns to Him (2nd Chronicles 7:14). America is an immoral country today. I posted an article that America is evil and it was censored from the search engines. But we have become evil, very evil. Americans are arrogant and think that we have the right to bully the rest of the world. The widespread sin of arrogance is a reproach upon America.
Meanwhile the globalists are cheating us blind right under our noses. This is exactly what the Bible means, I believe, when we are told that in the last days men will deceive and be deceived themselves. 2nd Timothy 3:3, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” Americans are being oppressed while we oppress other nations. In time, Americans will wake-up one day and find themselves in a total police state, trashed economy, one-child-policy, no guns, prisoner organ harvesting, and a Communist government identical to Red China as it is today. The sin of government crimes is a reproach upon America.
America is absolutely saturated with wickedness. God has been so merciful. It's shocking that Americans have purchased billions of albums collectively from Rock bands and reprobates like ACDC, Marilyn Manson, The Grateful Dead, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Def Leopard, Smashing Pumpkins, The Rolling Stones and thousands of others. I've never been to a Rock concert, but I've seen some of the concert videos online and have noticed how fans dress just like the singers, emulating their philosophies on life, religious beliefs and behavior. Rock singers are idols, gods worshipped by die-hard fans...
Psalms 96:5, “For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.”
Americans likely won't admit that their favorite singers, actors and celebrities are idols; but what do you call it when you praise them, adore them, idolize them, buy all their albums, dress like them, and think about their worldly music all day long. The most popular singers today are not by coincidence. Homosexuals are being promoted deliberately, like Justin Bieber, to promote the homosexual agenda. There is a full-throttle effort going on right now across America to demonize any Christian who dares to mention the Biblical teaching that homosexuality is a sin. Bible-preaching is being labeled as bullying, and laws are on the way criminalizing Christians who speak out against the evils of Sodomy and lesbianism. The sin of homosexuality is a reproach upon America.
I'm against bullying and gay-bashing; but the Bible plainly teaches in Proverbs 29:27, “An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.” Homosexuals want much more than not to be bullied, they want to shut up God-fearing Christians who dare even say that homosexuality is a sin. They want us and our children to be around sick-minded gays who are kissing, fondling each other and behaving lower than animals, and accept it. Homosexuality is a form of mental illness; not physical mental retardation; but rather, a spiritually caused mentally-warped mind. 75-years-ago the American Psychiatric Association treated homosexuality as a disease of the mind. Today they have turned 180 degrees, teaching gays how to cope instead. It's not a matter of personal opinion; but rather, God in the Bible condemns the sin of homosexuality.
Abortionists are also mentally-ill. No mentally healthy person murders their offspring. No mentally healthy person supports gay-rights. If you have been sold the big lie that homosexuals should have a right to get married, adopt children and live as heterosexual couples, then the Devil has your mind and soul. I'm a born-again Christian. I believe the Bible, the King James Bible, which has been around long before modern evil agendas dictated how we're supposed to think. Gays have even corrupted the Bible. At least two admitted homosexuals were involved with the translation of the “New International Version” (NIV). Perhaps you don't mind a corrupted Bible translated by gays, but I do. The word “sodomite” was removed completely from the NIV. Gee, I wonder why? The sin of corrupting the Bible is a reproach upon America.
I am wearied as a Christian with the overwhelming preponderance of wickedness in our nation today. We are a nation of reproach.
Morality Cannot Be Legislated
GLSEN is an anti-American, anti-family, anti-Christian organization that works relentlessly to homosexualize our schools. Although they use the word “straight” in the name of their organization (i.e., Gay Lesbian Straight Educational Network), its really a tool to silence and persecute Christian children. Even the mention of homosexuality being a sin will be severely punished if GLSEN gets their diabolical law passed in Washington D.C., called the Safe Schools Improvement Act. Any child who gets upset with another child will be able to get them into SERIOUS trouble by lying, claiming sexual harassment (requiring parents to hire lawyers and putting them into THE SYSTEM of years to come, and a fascist CPS investigation). There is NOTHING good that will come from anti-harassment laws.
You cannot legislate morality, and that is what our nation is attempting to do. As our nation increasingly idolizes Late Night Shows who blaspheme Jesus Christ and mock the Bible; and target our children with singing whores like Katy Perry, who blasphemes God and sings about boys sticking their hands in her skin tight pants; teaching children the lies of Evolution; encouraging them to fornicate and live in sin against God... our youth are going to follow and serve Satan, by becoming lesbians, whores, feminists and God-haters. Of course children are going to grow up devoid of any morals. America houses more inmates in prison than any other nation. We have become an insane society of oppressive laws, control-grids, surveillance, spy-cameras, and Homeland Insecurity. We have sold our souls to the government for security, giving up our freedoms in exchange. Tyrants have taken control of our nation and economy. They have given our jobs away. The have stolen our homes. Now they're groping our genitals at the airports. Where will this all lead?
A nation that does not honor God cannot and will not be blessed of God. Psalm 9:17 curses any nation to Hell that forgets God. America has certainly abandoned the God of the Bible. Tens-of-millions of Americans flock to SIN CITY to commit wickedness. What HAPPENS in Vegas is RECORDED in Heaven! (Revelation 20:12). Informing people about the tyranny that is upon us will not save our nation. Waking people up will not save our nation. Do you know why? It's because the wicked don't care, they just want to eat, drink, marry, and party. This was the situation before the flood of Noah's day. Noah preached the righteousness of Jesus Christ for 120-years and not one person got saved. Only Noah and his immediate family got onto the ark. That shows how wicked the world had become. Jesus said that the Last Days would return as it was in Noah's day (Matthew 24:37-38). No wonder Jesus said in Luke 18:8, “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
America has been in spiritual trouble for the past 100-years and now it has finally caught up with us economically and in every other way. Our educational system is a mess. Illegal and legal drugs are everywhere. Feminism has engineered women to be intolerant of their less than perfect husbands, divorce has skyrocketed due to an agenda promoting divorce, to the point where young people aren't getting married anymore. The criminals behind the New World Order have been working to corrupt, subvert and destroy America for hundreds of years, and it has escalated with advancements in technology. We are entering into a cashless society, and a surveillance spy society of tyranny, crazy laws, and oppression. TSA airport workers are now sticking their hands down passenger's pants and skirts, as a way to condition the American people to accept full-naked-body-scanners. They want to condition the public to accept tyranny, to lay down and take the abuse, to weaken our resistance. A Police State is upon us!
Morality cannot be legislated. If a nation's people won't obey God, then a Police State will be created to control and oppress them. Our nation's weakness is our oppressor's strength. No nation throughout history has ever survived that shook their fist in God's face. SIN CITY is nothing less than spitting in God's face. Shame on the United States! God has been so good to us, and yet we are so unthankful. It is man's sin that allows Satan to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10).
We have brought God's curse upon America. There are many patriots trying to wake people up and salvage America, but it will not succeed unless a large enough percentage of Americans repent toward God.
END
BLESSED BY THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
