Americans’ faith in God eroding?

[OldSchool2]

from PRC:

"God is frequently invoked in American public life. Indeed, there is no shortage of instances of official acknowledgement of the divine, from the appearance of “In God We Trust” on our currency to the phrase “one nation under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance.

"To be sure, the vast majority of Americans still believe in God. But there are strong signs that many are less certain about this belief than in years past. And a small but growing minority of Americans say they do not believe in God at all...."

"... a lack of certainty in God’s existence has become more common even among some Christian groups and members of non-Christian faiths. For example, two-thirds (66%) of those in the mainline Protestant tradition now say they are absolutely certain that God exists, down from 73% in 2007. A similar trend is seen among Catholics: 64% expressed an absolutely certain belief in God in 2014, compared with 72% in 2014. And among those who identify as Jewish on the basis of religion, the share saying they do not believe in God at all has risen from 10% to 17% over this seven-year period."

Sounds like we believers need to devote more of our time and energy to sharing the Word with others.

Is believing in God what matters?

Muslims believe in God. Hindus believe in God(s).

I know people (yes) who think Ronald MacDonald is God.

So what?

It's people who have a personal loving relationship with Jesus Christ that makes a difference.

I wouldn't know how to measure that.

Do you?

Have the fruits of the nation ever reflected that of Jesus Christ?

Well there is something to be said for being governed by God as we govern over man. Being in the ball park of the Judeo- Christian God is important. The founders of the country were diverse in theology and differing opinions on Jesus but they had a Judeo God- Creator mentality.  There have always been true believers and if there ever was a time for us to hit our knees and make sure of our salvation it's now. 

Leadership is gone, where are the Tozers of today?  We are headed for something only our Maker can prepare us for. When our personal relationships are strong our fellowships have a shot at standing strong. When our churches are strong our communities have a shot at standing strong. Bowing before the throne and admitting our weakness and poverty is our strength.  

A Josiah type revival is the only thing I could see biblical to possibly happen but this nation is worshiping something other than the true and living God. It's like gravy pouring out of a pitcher, water running downhill. Choosing to not acknowledge the creator is choosing death. Choose this day whom you will serve, choose life. Repent and walk with Jesus.
