As Gibbon wrote and published the "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" in 1776.. Perhaps it is drawing near the time when some American scholar should start to gather notes and do research to write of the decline and fall of the American empire using The work of Gibbon as their pattern..
America will not solve its problems nor halt its decline by election, reformation, resolution, or legislation.. Our best hope is that we can be turned by proclamation.. The proclaiming of Jesus Christ as Lord and savior and hope of the world and especially of this country..
So preach, preacher preach... Because you will stand before Christ one day and give answer for your preaching...
First Corinthians 1:18: "The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."
Second Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
.... The burden rests not on the shoulders of the politicians but squarely on the shoulders of the preachers.. So preach, preacher preach..
And So Here I Stand...
