Who's to Blame for America's Problems?

It cannot be denied that America has problems. We are a nation of problems. People are no longer moral, the government is bankrupt, and this country that once was called a "Christian nation" is actively hostile towards God and the Bible.

So who's to blame for America's headlong fall into apostasy? That's a question that I've asked myself time and again. And I think I've found the answer. It's not just one person or one party. It's a combination of many things. But the following are the ones I place the blame on for the downfall of this once great nation.

1. POLITICIANS

America was founded unlike any other nation on the face of this earth (with the possible exception of the nation of Israel). It was set up with a union of sovereign states, each one governing themselves, and each citizen of that state a sovereign himself. He had absolute freedom to own his own property and do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't break the laws of his state. And according to the Constitution, he had certain GOD GIVEN, UN-A-LIEN-ABLE rights which could not be infringed upon. He was FREE.

But my how times have changed. Politicians over the years have passed legislature that have taken way many of the rights of the people that the constitution affords them. And they continue to attack our freedoms today. Further, they spend money like it's going out of style, and plunging this once great nation deeper and deeper into debt. THEY are to blame for the ECONOMIC DOWNFALL of our nation.

2. PROFESSORS

It used to be that people did not have to get an "education" if they didn't want one. Most people went to the school of "Hard Knox" and graduated with a degree in "Common Sense." But as our nation grew, politicians slowly took over the education system, and taught people that they should send their children to state-run, secular schools. This made the "PROFESSOR" the final authority, and children were taught to follow him and his teachings. In the early 1900's, the vast majority of professors bought the anti-biblical and anti-creationist view of "Evilution" (sorry, I spelled that wrong. It's: Evolution). And as they taught that men were just "animals" then students began to live like such. Later, professors adopted political views, and pushed "Communism" down the throats of their students, leading to the students hatred towards capitalism, freedom, and the very things that made America great to begin with. This led to the POLITICAL DOWNFALL of our nation.

3. PREACHERS

It used to be almost everyone on America went to Church. It was part of the moral fiber of the nation. The citizens as a whole were religious and believed in God. But eventually, that changed, as more and more people got away from church. How did this happen? With the influx of German Rationalism, which denied the miracles and diety of Jesus Christ, and the introduction of Textual Criticism, which undermined the authority of the King James Bible and questioned its veracity, many apostate ministers began to preach on "social" issues, rather than against sin. Apostates themselves, they preached apostasy, and bred apostate congregations.

But they aren't the only ones to blame. Those preachers who remained faithful to preach the truth, no longer did so with righteous indignation and a fervor for the truth. Often, they preached on outward sins, rather than inwards sins, and allowed their congregations to do as they pleased. This led to more sinful people who appeared righteous outwardly, but inwardly were full of all unrighteousness. Their children saw their hypocrisy, and eventually went astray, for they saw them preaching one thing from their mouth, but with their deeds and actions they did another. This led to the APOSTATE DOWNFALL of America, and a nation full of hypocrites and religious pharisees who claimed to believe something with their head, but not from the heart.

4. PARENTS

The final group which added to the downfall of America are the Parents. These are those who did not take their children under their wings and train them up in the ways of God. Rather they had the attitude of giving their children away to others to train them for them. They gave them to secular, state-run schools, who taught them evolution and communism. They gave them to apostate churches and sunday schools, who taught them social grace rather than salvation. They gave them to political organizations which taught them how to organize and work tother in "groups" rather than being good, upstanding individual citizens in a free society. In other words, the parents and their values were not passed on to their children, rather their children were indoctrinated into the beliefs of the world. And because of this, we see the DOWNFALL of the FAMILY in America, where marriage is looked upon as "outdated" and fornication is not sin, but rather only "free love." This has given us a nation of bastards both spiritually and physically, as single parents are on the rise in our nation, and such parents don't spend much time with their children, rather sending them to the state to raise them for them. A state, with no moral fiber, rather only secular teachings.

SUMMARY

So who's to blame? I think you know ultimately, it's the DEVIL who's caused all the problems in our nation. But he's used the many different groups at his disposal to help him do so. He's used Politicians, Professors, Apostate Preachers, and apathetic Parents to forward his agenda. And what is his agenda, you might ask? Why that's easy. The Bible tells us that he desires a ONE WORLD ORDER in which he's in control of everything and everyone. And what better way than to separate children from their parents and indoctrinate them in the ways of heresy, regulative and constrictive politics, and ungodly, secular reasoning. All of this turns them against God and prepares their hearts for the Satan's soon appearing.

So the question is, are YOU one of those mentioned above. Are you one of those who's to blame? Are you a Preacher, a Teacher, a Politician, or a Parent? If so, ask yourself, "Have I added to the problem, or have I done all I could to instruct others to go against the apostasy and secular humanism of our day? Have I done all I can for the cause of Christ Jesus, or have I been apathetic and allowed the Devil to have his will and way?"

The Bible says in Ephesians 4:27: "Neither give place to the Devil."

You can either add to the problem, or you can do your due diligence to fight against it. It's all up to you. But know this. You can never change the nation. But your actions can affect individuals. You can help others to know the truth, one by one. And what's the ultimate truth? The Bible.
