Why are we taking ten days out of our lives, putting 10% of our income aside, bringing ourselves to a vacation mecca but seemingly not doing whatever we want?

The following seven points refute the unsubstantiated claim that America ever was, or continues to be, a Christian nation.

America today resembles pre-revolution France. Like other mass movements, America's civil war drums are beaten by leaders in government, religion, and education.

The 'Nones' have risen to prominence in society, ideologically committed to abortion, radical feminism, homosexuality, strict gun control, and socialism.

The vast majority of Christian-professing churches has been saturated with pagan doctrines (like antinomianism and dispensationalism), derived from Gnosticism.

While liberalism claims to champion civil liberties and individual liberties, liberal governments rob us of liberty and saddle us with useless regulations.

Because of Dispensationalism, many believe there is an adversarial relationship between law and grace, as though they cannot be complementary.

Most people have not used the Word of God as their standard of morality and conduct, but instead are allowing society and culture to shape their attitudes.

In a world rapidly turning into something mysteriously new, focus on the one thing that does not change: God and His truth.

We are being rewired, with the social Internet and media dangerously altering thought processes, making young and old more susceptible to believing lies.

Americans have a hard time submitting to authority and like to consider themselves as sovereigns, having the last say over anything including church doctrine.

The issue is not mathematical or astronomical, but instead a matter of trust in God's faithfulness, authority, sovereignty, oversight, or ability to govern.

Because we have been given revelation, we should have peace and a sense of well-being about life that would make the high-achievers of this world envious.

Throughout the 'Christian' world, militant atheism may be decreasing, but religious indifference is also increasing at even a more dramatic rate.

People think they have the right to determine the truth for themselves. However, God reveals the truth in His Word, and we must take care in discerning it.

Naomi's attractive personality, selflessness, godly conviction and common sense characterize her relationship with her Gentile daughters-in-law.

Christians must detach themselves from a Satanically inspired justice system which enforces tyrannical, unjust rules that violate God's law.

There are over 1,200 Christian denominations in the United States! Why has God not intervened to remove the confusion and set things straight?

Samson never really lived up to his potential, rarely using the power God had made available to him; he never raised an army or dispensed justice.

As Judges 14 opens, God motivates a spoiled, lustful, impetuous troublemaker to begin delivering Israel from the Philistines. Samson walked by sight.

Shockingly, two-thirds of the American populace believe truth is relative, while only one-third believe in absolute standards.

No human government, big or small, centralized or local, will work unless the governed are willing to put aside their self-interests for the good of all.

Pragmatism relies on what is convenient rather than what is right, cowardly kicking the can down the road for future generations to pick up.

Whose family values should we hold and follow? Is there any indication that we will return to good and right values?

While more people consider themselves spiritual, fewer are religious. They are less sure about what they really believe and more tolerant of other beliefs.

With humanity as the undisputed authority in the world, and an individual's identity unassailable, the whole planet is comprised of little sovereigns.

Americans love law in principle, but when the law begins to squeeze them and their accustomed lifestyles, it becomes acceptable to ignore the offending law.

Keeping God's annual Sabbaths are just as much a mandate on God's people as keeping the Ten Commandments.

We need these horrific times and conditions to learn the consequences of foolish decisions in order to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.

God's people cannot yoke themselves unequally with the philosophy or politics of the world. Invoking God's name is not equivalent to obeying Him.

There is no doubt that America's culture is plunging to depths many of us never imagined. Here are five steps to mitigate its influence on our lives.

God has given us clear records of what has occurred in the pass, enabling us to bind time, profiting from the past and preparing for the future.

When one courageous sportswriter told the truth about the Tiger Woods' contemptible behavior, the rest of the sports media railed against him.

God has consistently moved His creation toward its ultimate purpose, setting the bounds of nations, motivating rulers to pursue a certain course of action.

The Purpose Driven Church will be a major player trying to take the true, end-time church in the wrong direction.

God has freed us from the bondage of sin, the breaking of His law. Liberty comes only from obeying God and accepting the positive yoke of Jesus Christ.

America is an experiment in self-government, successful only if the citizens remain moral. The law of liberty works only if we obey God's Commandments.

Idolatry is the most frequently committed sin, seen in five commandments. God challenges us to either defend our body of beliefs or drop them in favor of His.

God's law will be the spiritual weights and measures in the Kingdom, but until then, we must glorify God by keeping these standards as a bright light.

The doctrinal changes made by the leaders in the Worldwide Church of God worked to destroy the vision of God's purpose through obscuring the real reason for works.

Idolatry constitutes the fountainhead from which all other sins flow, all of which amplify obsessive self-centeredness and self-indulgence.

Because all things will be violently shaken, God commands His people to place their trust in the unshakeable Kingdom of God which will displace all empires.

American culture is decidedly non-Christian in its current outlook, as Satan has twisted and distorted the information taught by secular universities.

The calculated Hebrew calendar reflects God's faithfulness in providing His children a reliable calendar. Concocting one's own calendar is presumptuous.
