The Price America Is Paying for Rejecting the Lord

Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi claim to be practicing Catholics, yet they and their fellow leftists have worked unrelentingly to drive G od out of America's schools, government and public square. When Pelosi stands at the speaker's rostrum, a sign above her reads, "In G od We Trust." With Biden as president, Pelosi as speaker and Democrats in control of Congress, that sign should read, "In Government We Trust."

The actions of the left would be easier to take if their consequences were limited to the left, but this is not the case. All Americans suffer as a result of their perfidy.

Actions have consequences. The actions of the secular left in pushing G od out of the culture have resulted in tragic consequences. This is the message in our new book.

The cultural degradation wrought by the left includes rampant abortion, gun violence, mass shootings, human trafficking, child abuse, mob violence, pornography, censorship, drug and alcohol abuse, corruption, road rage, gutter politics, teen suicide, sideline rage, demise of the traditional family, and the list goes on.

These tragic consequences have a lot of Americans wondering, "What is happening to our country?" The tragedies you see on the nightly news and read about in your morning newspaper are what happens in a country that rejects G od. What you see all around you every day is what a Godless culture looks like.

For those concerned about the cultural darkness enveloping our country, we have two questions, one for those who reject G od and one for Christians. Our question for atheists is: What did you think would happen when you drove G od out of the culture? Our question for Christians is: What are we going to do about it?

Those who work ceaselessly to drive G od out of society and then decry the predictable results are like the kid who pokes a wasp nest with a stick just for fun. They are fools. The cultural degradation darkening society did not happen by accident. It is the result of a concerted, decadeslong effort led by hypocrites such as Biden, Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

It would be easy to place all the blame for the state of the culture on current government leaders and their leftist puppet masters, but that would not be accurate. While the left must accept much of the blame for the sad state of the culture, Christians must accept at least some of the blame. Why? Because rather than stand up and fight back against those who are determined to make America a G odless nation, too many Christians and too many churches have meekly stood by and let it happen in the name of being "seeker-friendly."

Too many churches have become Sunday morning entertainment centers rather than preparing members to carry out the Great Commission. Too few are expecting their congregations to be good stewards of the blessings bestowed on them, including living in the only nation on Earth founded on Christian values and biblical principles. Allowing the left to drive G od out of our schools, government and public square is not good stewardship.

For this reason, in our new book we go beyond just asking Christians, "What are we going to do about it?" We also provide a blueprint for reclaiming the culture for Christ. That blueprint requires Christians to engage on six fronts: family, church, education, courts, politics and the public square. In future columns, we will explain what Christians must do on each of these fronts before it's too late.
