The Great Deceived

I love America, I believe it is the greatest country in the world, but have we been deceived? As I was at church I couldn't help but to look out the windows and see all the people driving by on the highway. I began wondering if we are really a Christian nation that many of us may claim. I heard a poll on the news a couple of weeks back and it stated that over 80% of Americas claim to be a Christian. In this county that I live in there are over 40 thousand people but only approximately 12 thousand attend church regularly like the Bible says we must. That's only 33%!! Where are the other 47% of the people!? At home? In bed? At Wal-Mart, Lowes, or Best Buy? Have they all been deceived into thinking that it's alright to totally skip out on church? Deceived into thinking they can make it to heaven in these last days without a shepherd of Gods Word? In Deuteronomy 11:16 it says; Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them. I'm afraid that is happening to many Americans. Americans have placed other things or Idols in front of Gods Word. People are looking for the latest trends, buying the latest and greatest, laying aside the things of God just to fulfill their hearts desire. They have been deceived by their very own Idol; themselves. America must wake up before it is too late. We must cast aside every burden, cast away our desires for our initial desires are not the Lords. Put God priority #1, and nothing else behind and I promise the Lord will take you places you never thought possible through Him. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

May God Bless,
