Help Me Change America

I thank God that I was born when I was, and where I was ... in America.  I really do.  Let's start with "when I was."  I was born years after the great depression which my parents went through.  Talk about people being poor, losing everything ... not that my parents did, but many did. 

They were young and lived on farms, so they had gardens and livestock, chickens and such to live on but it was only by the mercy and grace of God.  Others weren't so lucky, standing in soup lines ... something I have never had to do ... unless standing in the lunch line at school would count.

I was born during W.W.II, which was fought by those American men and women called ... America's greatest generation ... and rightly so.  What a sacrifice; what a price paid for other people's freedom.  I consider myself blessed to have been born in the forties, raised in the fifties and early sixties, and even blessed to be born ... "where I was."  The mid-west.  The fly-over country now forgotten by the affluent power brokers and the politicians.  Country folk ... you know, "the ones who cling to their Bibles and guns."  That's right ... the ones who built this country with their blood, sweat and tears.

I was blessed to grow up in middle America with old fashioned moral values.  We didn't even lock our doors at night.  You didn't hear of all the evil going on back then ... like there is today.  Most people went to church as a family on Sunday.  Today, young people are in the minority if they even have a complete family with two parents at home who love each other.

Where is the America I grew up in?  Now days kids might have two dads or two moms as parents.  I call it perversion.  Don't let these people adopt someone else's children.  Let them pro-create their own babies if they can.  How's same sex marriage working out for America?  Go back in your closet ... please.

Where has all the Christian voices gone?  Why aren't we crying out ... "stop with the madness" ... this is wrong.  America is being destroyed from within.  Most of America's churches are liberal now days.  I wonder if they would even notice if Jesus walked out of their church services and never came back.  Would they miss Him?  I doubt it because I think they are too busy trying to be politically correct or they are preaching a feel good doctrine forgetting there is something called sin we are supposed to shun.  America still needs Jesus. 

America needs to change back to her roots ... and believe as the founding fathers did in 1776 when God was welcome and they depended on Him.  They believed as I do that God, not man, created, ordained and built this country into the greatest nation in the history of the world.  But will we be much longer?

Christians in America will not conquer what is being shoved down our throats ... abortion, homosexuality, socialism, and the biggest lie of all ... "separation of church and state" ... unless we raise our collective voices first to our God, and then to our leaders in Washington D.C.   You can't tell God, as the liberals have, that He's not welcome here anymore and then pretend to ask for His blessing and wonder "why" He's not blessing.   

God needs to open the blinded eyes of all Christians and non-Christians alike ... who still love the real America.  I'm asking all who do, to partner with me and a few thousand other God fearing, Bible believing American patriots to start praying for God's "will" to be restored once again before we slide too far down into the pit of Hell and America loses her soul.

Right now it's still not to late for us to claim 2nd Chronicles 7:14 ...

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land."

But a few verses later, the Scripture says the people ask ... "Why did the judgment of God come upon us?"  And the answer is ... "Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers; therefore God brought all this evil upon them."

Some Americans wanted "change."  Well they got change ... but not for the better.  And look at the price it has cost America, and I'm not speaking of money.

I want change ... Godly change.  I want America's people to repent and ask God to come back and be a part of our lives once again as He was back when America's two greatest generations fought for our freedom and won the victory with God's help and leadership.

God can't be pleased that America, the lighthouse to the world is now just a little candle with a tiny flickering flame.  Are we going to allow the darkness to snuff out what light is left?

It's up to you ...


I must say "thank you" to Maggie Thornton who inspired me to write this article challenging believers to change America back to being a Christian nation.

You can find her keen insight and Godly wisdom on what needs to be done to return America to greatness once again (and a great post entitled "This is how we Conquer") at her website ...
