Good News for a Lost America

We have enjoyed the freedoms and blessings of our wonderful country,
America, for over two centuries. We choose where we work, where
we live, who we associate with, what we buy and how we worship.
We have more physical prosperity than any nation before us. But all
is not well; the solid foundation of principles our forefathers built
our nation upon cracks.
Values that once were widely held by Americans are being replaced
by an ever-changing morality. We draw up battle lines between conservative
and liberal values: between Republican and Democratic
parties. We look to leaders for integrity, but we find corruption. We
are confused about our purpose, destination and roles.
Somewhere we lost our way.
The current fruit is the product of seeds sown long before. Atheism
steals our hope, causing widespread depression. Postmodernism
steals our identity leading to massive confusion over moral issues
such as abortion, sexuality and gender. Man-made religions steal our
access to God leaving us unsure about who He is and how to please
Him. Calvinism infects every major Christian denomination and
steals our choice.
Christian Nationalism steals our true spiritual citizenship and polarizes
our nation without a real means of resolution. Today, we feel the
effects of belief systems established decades and even centuries ago.
Americans need Good News.
The Bible often refers to the gospel and speaks of the Son of God as
Jesus Christ. The terms gospel and Christ have somewhat lost their full
effect through translation. Gospel translated literally means good news;
it is an exciting message, full of hope and promise. Christ means the
anointed; Jesus is God's anointed; Jesus is the chosen one.
That's what the Bible is: God's message of Good News of Jesus, the
Anointed.
