Rom 8:19 All creation (America included) is eagerly waiting for God to reveal who his children are.
Rom 8:20 Creation (America included) was subjected to frustration but not by its own choice. The one who subjected it to frustration did so in the hope
Rom 8:21 that it (America) would also be set free from slavery to decay in order to share the glorious freedom that the children of God will have.
Rom 8:22 We know that all creation (America) has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.
I propose to you that where East Africa is under a stronghold of poverty, America is under a stronghold of distraction brought on by a need for self-entertainment. This self-entertainment is search for happiness, that can only be found in God.
In part, the church has failed to demonstrate this to America. I am guilty myself.
We Christians needs to be so God absorbed, so whole, healed, and liberated, that Christ becomes great through our lives and people are drawn to Him. I propose to the church, that America is aching to see the reality of the resurrected and all powerful Christ Jesus through the life of the believer. Unless, we the church become intently God focused, this will not happen. The price of having Christ magnified , liberated, and resurrected through the life of the believer, will cost the Christian everything. It’s the hardest thing you will ever do. It’s so well worth it, however.
Who will step up to the plate and do this, when humanity has so very, very, few good leaders to emulate?
