The ONLY reason America is different and is exceptional is that of the principles upon which we were founded. The “Mayflower Compact” was signed on November 11, 1620 onboard the Mayflower shortly after she came to anchor off Provincetown Harbor.

Look at the REASON these men and women came here.  Here are some of the opening lines from the Mayflower Compact:

“Having undertaken for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia…”

That’s why this country was great!  The moment we moved away from this, as our focus, was the moment we stopped being a great nation.  And consequently, this is the moment God’s wrath began to be unleashed upon us.

George Washington said in his farewell address:  “Religion and morality are necessary conditions of the preservation of free government.”

The only way the insanity of our world is reversed is repentance.  And I’m not even calling the lost world to repent. I’m calling on the CHURCH to repent.

Without repentance, we are wasting our time. And no catchy political phrases or political parties are going to make any difference.

Jesus is the only One who can make the difference, and if our country refuses to walk down this path we are in deep trouble.

So my plea today is that you and I fall on our knees and repent.  It’s the only thing that will matter in 10,000 years.  What did you do with JESUS?  That’s the question that is looming before every human being on the planet.
