Our only hope in the coming storm is to keep our eyes focused on Jesus. America has broken every commandment given by God. The abominable sins in our nation have now become the "vogue" for today's living. Our churches are becoming so worldly, so full of corruption, so full of deceitfulness that God's wrath is soon to be poured out upon us. Pastors, teachers, ministers are all so consumed with numbers they don't want to preach that wrath is coming upon us, judgment is coming. All Christians should be on their faces and witnessing to anyone who comes to their doors to pull them from the fire to come. Christendom has lost sight of saving souls and are now focused on "we will run off the new ones if we preach hellfire and damnation," yet we are doing such an injustice to lukewarm Christians and the lost if we don't.

God, help us who love you keep our eyes focused on you. Lord, because we love, give us courage to speak your judgment that we might lead many to salvation through your Son, Jesus.
