THE STATUS OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH

In the Old Testament, when Israel Fell Away from God
It was because their Religion had Fallen away from God;
They were No Longer Faithful to God's Commands;
And they Killed the Prophets; those sent by God to Warn them.
Listen to Christ Jesus:

WOE to you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, you Hypocrites!
You build Tombs for the Prophets
And decorate the graves of the righteous.
And you say,
'If we had lived in the days of our Forefathers,
We would Not have taken part with them
In Shedding the Blood of the Prophets.'

SO YOU TESTIFY AGAINST YOURSELVES
That you are the Descendants of those who Murdered the Prophets.
FILL UP, THEN, THE MEASURE OF THE SIN OF YOUR FOREFATHERS.

You Snakes! You Brood of Vipers!
How will you Escape being Condemned to Hell?
Therefore I AM sending you Prophets and Wise men and Teachers.
Some of them you will Kill and Crucify;
Others you will Flog in your Synagogues and pursue from town to town.

And so Upon You will come All the Righteous Blood
That has been Shed on Earth,
From the Blood of Zechariah son of Berakiah,
Whom you Murdered between the Temple and the Altar.
I tell you the Truth, ALL THIS will come upon this Generation.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who Kill the Prophets
And Stone those sent to you,
How I have longed to gather your Children together,
As a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,
BUT YOU WERE NOT WILLING.

LOOK YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO YOU DESOLATE.

For I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say,
'Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.'
(Matthew 23:29-39)

The “Church” in the Day of Christ Jesus,
Killed the Prophet of Prophets.
And because of this, they Lost Everything.

Is the Church of America not like the Church of Laodicea?
Listen to Christ Jesus' Letter to them:

These are the Words of the Amen,
The Faithful and True witness, the Ruler of God's Creation.

I know your Deeds, that you are Neither Cold nor Hot.
I wish you were one or the other!

SO BECAUSE YOU ARE LUKEWARM—NEITHER HOT NOR COLD--
I AM about to Spit you out of My mouth.

YOU SAY, 'I AM RICH;
I HAVE ACQUIRED WEALTH AND DO NOT NEED A THING.'
But you do not Realize
That you are Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked.

I COUNSEL YOU TO BY FROM ME GOLD REFINED IN THE FIRE,
So that you can become Rich;
And White Clothes to wear,
So you can cover your Shameful Nakedness;
And Salve to put on your eyes, so you can SEE.

THOSE WHOM I LOVE I REBUKE AND DISCIPLINE.
SO BE EARNEST, AND REPENT.

Here I AM! I stand at the Door and Knock.
If ANYONE hears My Voice and Opens the Door,
I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me.

TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES,
I will give the Right to sit with Me on My Throne,
Just as I OVERCAME and sat down with My Father on His Throne.
HE WHO HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR
What the Spirit says to the Churches.'
(Revelation 3:14-22)

Has not the America Church
Gather around itself a Great Number of Teachers
To say what the ITCHING EARS of the Church want to hear?
Listen to the Apostle Paul:

FOR THE TIME WILL COME
When men Will Not Put Up With Sound Doctrine.
INSTEAD, to Suit their own desires,
THEY WILL GATHER AROUND THEM A GREAT NUMBER OF TEACHERS
To say what their ITCHING EARS want to hear.

THEY WILL TURN THEIR EARS AWAY FROM THE TRUTH
And Turn Aside to Myths (and man made fictions).
(2 Timothy 4:3, 4)

The Question the American Church must answer is this:
Is the Demise of the America Culture
Due to the Demise of the American Church?
This was ALWAYS the case with Israel.

Christ Jesus is the only Salt and Light that Exists
And if this Salt and Light is not Present in His Church,
THEN, THERE IS NO SALT AND LIGHT AT ALL.

If the American Church is No Longer Salt and Light for America,
Then her House will be left to her DESOLATE!

It is an Undeniable Truth that America is on the Road to RUIN.
Before the Living God and His Word.
Has the America Church become a LUKE WARM, LAODICEAN CHURCH?

We know this:
There are going to be Five Wise Virgins and Five Foolish. (Matthew 25)
Does the American Church have enough OIL to received the Bridegroom?

We know this:
That before the last Apostle died,
Christ Jesus wrote Seven Letters to Seven Churches
And only Two were Commended.

We know this:
That in the Last Day their will be a Great Falling Away

From Faith in Christ Jesus. (Mat. 24:10; 2 Thess. 2:3; Dan. 8:12)
