We Need More Billy Sundays!

"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." -Jesus Christ (Matthew 13:15)

America has forgotten God!  Never before has America been in more dyer need of Billy Sunday style preachers who cry aloud and spare not against the wickedness of our day.  If Billy Sunday were alive today...he would be preaching against abortion, homosexuality, witchcraft, government corruption, HollyWEIRD, MTV, dead churches, and of course...gambling, dancing and booze. 

1st John 5:19 says "...the whole world lieth in wickedness."  The Bible sure hits the nail right on the head concerning the evilness of mankind.  The world is controlled by Satan (2nd Corinthians 4:4).  Even many believers are ignorant of this fact.  I am disgusted with the immaturity of so many professed "Christians."  I receive e-mails from professed Christians on a regular basis accusing me of being hateful and failing to demonstrate God's love to people.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  I speak the truth because I care very much about people.  I am not trying to make them mad, but the truth makes quite a few people angry.  The Apostle Paul was also hated for speaking the truth.

"Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" —Galatians 4:16

It is sad that America has deteriorated into apostasy (a turning away from God).  Most Christians erroneously measure the degree of apostasy in America by the measuring stick of church attendance.  This is not the case friend.  America's degree of apostasy can be directly measured by the amount of TOLERANCE that us Christians have for wickedness and evil.  God wants us to speak out against the evils of our day. 

"Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?" —Psalm 94:16

This means at home.  This means on the job.  This means in stores.  This means in public.  We should not be unkind, but we need to be assertive and protest.  We need to let our voices be heard, in an appropriate manner.  We each must choose our own battles, but most of us do not fight even one tiny battle.  America's churches, preachers and Christians are the moral conscience of the next generation.  We are doing a horrible job!  America is a moral pigpen, a vomit filled gutter.

When most Christians think of apostasy, they blame everyone but themselves.  It is our fault as Christians that America is in the mess it is in because we have not taken a stand for what is right, a fighting stand!  We need more Billy Sundays, a lot more!  Thank God for Billy Sunday! 

Television is as evil as can be...filled with sexually suggestive filth, violence and homosexuality.  Alcohol consumption is still responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths every year in America.  MADD is doing an excellent job, but where are the churches?  I said "where are the churches?"  Repent America is doing an excellent job protesting against Sodomy and abortion, but where are the churches?  The fact is that God uses INDIVIDUALS, not churches.  The churches that are doing a great work for God do so because they have a man of God (an INDIVIDUAL) who is on fire for God. 

Most pastors ONLY care about making another buck and keeping a roof over their head.  It's sickening.  Most pastors are afraid to preach too hard, lest they should lose tithing members.  I know a preacher who preaches against Jack Daniels alcohol and Marijuana usage in his Sunday morning sermon.  God forbid he should preach against beer and cigarette smoking, then he might offend someone.  How many people drink Jack Daniels?  How many people smoke Marijuana?  Not near as many as drink beer and smoke cigarettes!  It's so frustrating to hear a preacher beating around the bush.  We need preachers who will speak the truth without worrying about how much money is being placed into the offering plates.  America needs preachers, not church business administrators!  Most pastors are only concerned about paying the bills.

America's apostasy is directly linked to it's DEAD CHURCHES.  Wake up!  Wake up! 

America is going to hell!  We need to get busy for God, speaking out against the evils around us.  We need to preach the gospel like never before, but not just the gospel.  This crazy idea that unsaved people will never get saved if we preach against their sins is insane.  Listen to me!  America's unsaved crowd is dying to find someone who is real, someone who is willing to take a stand!  No one wants to go to a deadbeat church.  Many unsaved people have become Christians because they heard a preacher crying aloud in a sermon against sin.  These milk-toast wimpy preachers who dip their sails and trim the truth are what is wrong with America!  America needs Billy Sundays!

God give us more men with a burning passion to reach America with the gospel and to preach aloud and long against the wickedness of this once great nation.  God help us!
