Apostasy

Is There Apostasy In America
This question can simply be answered, Yes! Who then is in apostasy? The Church, for you can’t fall away from something that you never really had. Apostasy is defined as the abandoning of what one used to believe or practice. In the book of Jeremiah, God called Jeremiah to preach to a people who had abandoned their faith in God, for a faith based upon the beliefs of men. God’s simple message was for Judah to repent and return to the Lord, but they refused to listen and went into captivity anyway. So, the real question is why didn’t they listen? 1) They failed to remember their past. God rebuked them for not remembering where they came from, nor the God who led them there. (Ps 9:17) “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” As Christian Americans, if we as the Church forget God, our nation is doomed to the same. 2) They failed to remember God’s Law. (Ps 11:3)” If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” In our country today all of a sudden God’s Word is optional or up for interpretation. Christian, our foundation is still Jesus Christ and his Word. Be careful lest you go the way of the apostate. (Ps 33:12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.
