The House of Gods (1 of 2)
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
As we approach the two-hundred and twenty- second birthday of our nation .. we're thinking under the heading: God Bless America! Now take God's Word and turn please to Judges chapter 17. It's here in the book of Judges that we find the nation of Israel, like modern day America, forgetting their God- blessed heritage! We read last Sunday in Judges 2.10, ''When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.''
And today in America we're living in that generation! We now have a generation in our land ''who do not know the Lord nor the work which He has done for America.'' We have forgotten our heritage and we've got educators rewriting our history and leaving God out! Young people .. I don't want you to ever forget that this nation was established on the principles and promises of the Word of God. In fact . . . 47 of the 57 men that signed the Declaration of Independence were graduates of Christian colleges.
Woodrow Wilson said, ''A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know what it is today nor what it is trying to do.'' As John Quincy Adams spoke to future generations he said, ''You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.'' I'm afraid .. like the nation of Israel in the time of the Judges . . . that America has been cursed with blessings. We are a nation that has forgotten the God that has blessed us. And like the nation of Israel . . . our values are vanishing.
That's what you find when you come to the 17th chapter of the book of Judges. And what striking similarities there are between Israel and America! Look if you will to Judges 17.6, ''In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.'' Which is another way of saying t ...
