The historian Gibbon, (1737-1794), concluded that there were five reasons for the decline and fall of The Roman Empire. Gibbon was by no means a Christian, but this is why he was convinced Rome fell: (1) The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society. (2) Higher and higher taxes; the spending of public money for free bread and circuses for the populace. (3) The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting, more brutal, more immoral. (4) The building of great armaments when the great enemy was within; the decay of individual responsibility. (5) The decay of religion, fading into mere form, losing touch with life, losing power to guide the people. |

This does as well: Proverbs 1:28-33: 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Seems like all five of Gibbon's reasons could be summed up as ungodliness. Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Stand in His grace, WOS |

Thank you Brother WOS, that really does sum it up! I was looking for some good verse to go along with that but gave in too soon. I just wanted to get it up on the board for all to see where we are headed if we don't turn to God as a country, and I fear it's down hill. Excellent choice of Scripture! Nice to have you back in the mix here at the forum by the way. :-) God bless John |
