Warning to a Great Nation

Offered to the body of Jesus Christ, 2010
by David W. Eckman at lordslaw.com

Your enemy will destroy you from within, the corrupton of gratified desire. Listen to my words and be wise. Does the hawk circle for pleasure? Does the snake venture forth without purpose? Even so, the evil in your hearts churns and cannot rest.

But like rot covered with paint, it spreads and destroys. It weakens you and will consume you. Degradation and shame follow. Will you continue to pursue your desires, set your values above mine? Will you pursue injustice and justify evil and greed? Or will you turn to me in truth, practice justice and serve me humbly?

A nation does not die slowly, as a man dies of old age. It dies from disease and violence, the disease of its corruptions, the violence it begets. Will this be your end? Choose wisely, great nation.
