Matthew 12:25 “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand”

On June 16th, 1858 Abraham Lincoln stated the following about slavery in America:

“A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South.”

The same can be said about a Christian America in 2016. We cannot claim to be a Christian nation and act with a willful disregard to Christian principles. We cannot endure, permanently, half unrighteous and half righteous. This nation will likely not be divided, but will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of godlessness will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public minds shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become the standard in all the land.

Christians must fight or our Christian America will fall. A house divided against itself cannot stand. We will either return to a land used by God for great good in this world, or we will proceed down a path that we will be used as a mighty tool in the hand of Satan himself.

The results will unavoidably stem from the path we choose. As Lincoln once said:

“If we do not do right I believe God will let us go our own way to ruin. But if we do right, I believe He will lead us safely out of this wilderness, adorning our arms with victory.”

PLEASE PRAY FOR CHRISTIAN AMERICANS TO UNITE OUR NATION ONCE AGAIN AROUND THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

SET YOUR ALARM: If you’re alarmed (that an American seven-year-old boy was blatantly denied his religious liberties at school lunchtime), set your alarm (to pray for our nation)!
