Bible Question:
Can God Bless America? "If God were to bless America as everybody seems to want Him to do, it might look very different than we would expect. "Will God bless America? "Can God bless America? Should God bless America? "And if God did bless America, what would He be saying about His holiness? If God did bless America, what would He be saying about our morality? About our spiritual condition? "Could God bless America and protect His reputation as holy God" (John MacArthur)? |
Bible Answer: Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The USA has taken prayer out of the schools. The USA has taken the ten commandments out of courthouses. The USA has taken every opportunity to invoke this idea of separation of church and state. Our nation no longer has God as LORD. Unless it does I do not think the LORD will bless this nation. It's a good thing salvation is an individual experience: Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Praise the Lord! Norm |
