“And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper … and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them” (Romans 1:28,32).

Whatever America once was — “a shining city on a hill,” as President Reagan said — we are now a nation that has been given over to moral wickedness.

We can rationalize that abortion is about “women’s reproductive rights” and that it should be “safe, legal, and rare” and that homosexuality is a merely a “civil rights” issue, but from a biblical perspective, America is a country crumbling morally from within … and quickly.

Read the details of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell or watch the just-released undercover video at an Arizona abortion clinic.  Listen to President Obama say he “couldn’t be prouder” of a pro basketball player who announced this week he’s a homosexual.  And then notice the fierce attack on anyone who dares say otherwise.

How has America devolved to such a point where the majority-voice supports and praises sin and castigates those who stand for biblical truth?  What does this bode for the future of our country and for Christians?  And how should a Christian respond when “America the Beautiful” has become America the Debauched — with tolerance, acceptance, affirmation, or otherwise?
