If America slips into Evil it is because God is being Replaced

Trying to remember how we felt while preparing for our Holy Communion brings thoughts of something so special that at our age we were entering into a new level of life. If only society could retain that type of moral adherence no matter what manner of religion we decide to follow. Perhaps I should say what god or deity we set our morality on. Any more the essence of morals has changed so much that it only means one direction to guide our choices of life, worship, or death to anything that becomes our god.

It has become a humorous attitude to play images of the devil during halloween and laugh when we view some of the different styles that are real even for children to play this evil entity. I often wonder how much humor there is outside the door to an abortion surgery table? What about the fear of reciting the “Pledge of Allegiance” that makes patriots the enemies of America. And our Churches, when will we find that attendance for our beliefs is against the upcoming rules of a socialist city, nation, or even the hearts of so many cheering the communist manner of life? Is this attitude of probability a reality being brought about by apostasy?

The shadow of dressing up as evil entities is no longer a joke. In case anyone ever thought that this is a make-believe effort to make fun of something far too many don’t believe in, get hold of yourself; it is real and is making more people subject to the real devil; Satan himself. To be sure regarding this battle of good or evil there is only one reality that can win. Goodness, which exemplifies God, is the path we should all want to seek. The problem becomes a desire to follow the trappings of a false prophet that promises what cannot come to fruition since it has no foundation to stand on. The realization that some may pass this article off as just another prose of making a plea for getting people back to Church is not true. Finding pleasure in avoiding Church and replacing worship with the attraction of finding our own way of greed and self-gratification will have one final result. A certain path to hell unless we find mercy from the God we are dismissing from our lives.

Nowhere else on this tiny planet except within the composure of sin will the evil intent be made up of self-indulgence and feed me all the pleasure you have to satisfy my need for the space on Satan’s merry-go-round that leads nowhere except to hell. Jesus even stressed this probability when he said; “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.” (Mt 7: 13 - 14).

Connect all the scripture passages that predict the final days on earth and the total will add to this passage by Christ. It has to be the most distressing warning for those who choose the wide road with many on it might be their relatives and friends; saying, “C’mon, enjoy yourself and forget those pulpit readings that take away your need for fun.” Yes, that is true for those who are lost souls for eternity. Find the gate that is narrow and become part of those who save themselves.
