God gave His terms for doing what is otherwise impossible ...

"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 will heal their land."

2 Ch. 7:14

Changing world begins by, first, changing ourselves. Only then do we have God's promise that He will heal our land, other's land, and world. The lost are no to blame. To continue to ignore that, to not face truth of condition of world, to not hold ourselves personally accountable for our part ... times will only get worse.

God can not continue to bless America when we do not follow His leading. Scripture does not even grant us right to claim name 'Christian' except we are, first, His disciple (Acts 11:26). God does not ask us to be perfect or even good enough. In fact, His requirements are really very simple.

"He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good;

and what doth Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy,

and to walk humbly with thy God?"

Micah 6:8

Whatever flag you are waving, make sure God is given first place. You have been given power to change your world. It is up to you what you do with it.

"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before foundation of world ... who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying truth through Spirit unto unfeigned love of brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever," (I Pe. 1:18-23).

The message of Moses is still same, today.

"Let my people go, so they may serve God."
