Is there Apostasy in America today?

This question can simply be answered, Yes!  But who then is in apostasy?  For you can’t fall away from something that you never really had, so the answer to this question must be found in those that attend our churches today. 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 something else. God’s simple message to Judah was to repent and return to the Lord, but they refused to listen. So, why didn’t they listen?  1) They failed to remember their past.  God rebuked them for not remembering where they came from and the God who led them there. As Christians, if we the Church forget God, our nation is doomed. (Ps 9:17) “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” 2) They failed to remember God’s Word. 

(Ps 11:3)” If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” It’s sad but in our country today all of a sudden God’s Word is optional or up for debate, and HisWord is even left out of the conversation. Christian, the remedy for sin is still found in a high respect for God’s Word, our repentance, & the confession of our sin.  (Ps 33:12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.
