The US Supreme Court that imposed “gay marriage” and ObamaCare upon America is about to take a lunging lurch leftward.
With today’s passing of Antonin Scalia, the laughably unfree “land of the free” is almost certain to see a significant slide even further down the rat-hole of DC-down tyranny and the perversion of law. A proud, unrepentant nation that exalts its “freedom” and “liberty” to enjoy “legal” porn, “legal” divorce on demand, “legal” strip clubs in “legal” casinos, “legal” adultery-themed businesses like Ashley Madison, “legal” “gay marriage”, “legal” child sacrifice and, of course, the “legal” right to openly worship any false god one chooses, including Allah and even Satan himself – that “land of the free” is even now experiencing the wrath of God pouring down upon it, as has been the case for generations now. Yet, amazingly, and as a testament to the blindness of the unrepentant, few seem to even recognize what’s going on…and of those who do recognize it, few are yet willing to admit why and repent accordingly.
In blind idolatry of the American State and its advocates, masses of professing Christians in America will predictably and right on cue use this as an occasion not to advance the Gospel-fueled repentance and submission of America to Christ the King as King in practice and in detail where law and civil government are concerned, but instead as another “compelling reason” to advance the cause of the Republican Party….again…
Once again, fear will grip the hearts of these professing evangelicals and fear will motivate them to play the same old games and pursue the same old secular routes to salvation.
Once again, Americans will turn to secular saviors rather than to Christ, the Devil will laugh, and the wrath of God will continue to flow.
News of Scalia’s passing during Obama’s presidency will trigger heart-gripping, chill-inducing fear, and that fear will once again be used by the Pagan Political Right to strengthen its already iron grip over the hearts and minds of millions of professing Christians in America.

Fear, fear, fear…panic, panic, panic…
American Christianity, and thereby American culture, is now dominated and defined by fear of man and fear of the world in direct opposition to the repentance-inspiring, obedience-producing, and life-restoring fear of the Lord that can actually save American lives and culture through the Gospel-fueled Great Commission. (For more on this subject, please read The Fear-Driven Voting of America’s “Conservative Christians” and The Fear-Fueled Politics of American Statism.)
Repent?
Submit?
In the areas of law and civil government?
Nah, we’re way too proud and way too smart for that sort of thing.
We’re America, after all.
We’d much rather be practical and continue to pour our passion, time, talent and treasure into the Republican Party as opposed to taking up our cross for the sake of Christ and His Gospel-fueled Great Commission to repent and obey Him in all things…including law and civil government.
It matters not how clearly God has spoken.
It matters not how plain the Republican record of rank Statism and anti-Christian approaches to law, economics, politics and civil government.
We hear Christ’s crystal clear claim to Lordship over every realm of life, and what is our answer? What is the typical fear-driven, self-centered American evangelical answer to the proposition of Christ as King over us?
Consider the following reaction of record, which so closely (and so painfully) models our own:
He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” So he delivered him over to them to be crucified.
~ John 19:14-16
So the next time you’re wondering why this is all happening – why we have “legal” porn, “legal” divorce on demand, “legal” strip clubs in “legal” casinos, “legal” adultery-themed businesses like Ashley Madison, “legal” “gay marriage”, “legal” child sacrifice and the “legal” right to openly worship any false god one chooses, including Allah and even Satan himself – don’t blame Obama or the democrats or MSNBC or the LGBT lobby. Not first, anyway.
It’s American evangelicals who are most responsible for this nightmare…and we need to be lovingly confronted and corrected with that fact.
Limp-wristed Gospels make limp-wristed cultures, wicked leadership is God’s judgment upon us, and judgment begins with the house of the Lord.

While this country is on a down slide,to say the least, but we have NOT. Experienced the pure wrath of God fire breather. We are living under the dispensation of the Grace of God! As Christians, we are saved from the wrath of God, it is coming. America is just a,product of her own choosing.
Nobody said America was experiencing the "pure" wrath of God. We are, however, clearly under the wrath of God as a people – a people made increasingly ineffective, lazy, and apathetic about the Gospel-fueled Great Commission by way of the dispensationalism that hit the scene hard here in the 1800s and inspired many professing Christians to preemptively surrender the culture to the enemy.
The wrath of God is clearly upon America:
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."
(Romans 1:18-32)
