I'm watching my country slip into socialism, and while It's not without hope,it looks pretty bleak if we stay on our current course. As a society, we have failed to impart upon our children, the foundations that made us great. We have witnessed an unparalleled time in human history. 200 years of freedom and self government,contrasted to 5000 years of bondage,and servitude. Despite advanced technology undreamed of twenty years ago, and greatly increased budgets,our general state of education has declined. Families have fragmented, and even intact families spend far less time together, and less time interacting with their communities. The moral state of our nation has declined to tragic levels. Unbounded greed has undermined our financial markets, and a lack of traditional morals has left our business community destitute, and in many places broke.

There is a common thread for all these problems we face, I believe that the Church has failed to fulfil its God-given purpose in this society. For the past 50 years or so, many churches have forgotten why they exist. They have become social clubs, and therefore ineffective at containing the societal decay. they have lost their saltiness, and usefulness. Not all churches have decayed this far, and millions have a meaningful faith. But the historic benefits afforded our nation by a functioning and fruitful church have all but faded.
not only does the church long for meaningful revival, so does our nation long for restoration.
