Look at the faces of President Obama and all the politicians in Washington, D.C. Not one of them is stunned, nor outraged, about the terrorist attack in California last week. Instead, they are going about their daily affairs as business as usual: they go to their jobs, shuffle some papers, chat with each other and with the news media, make appearances on radio and television talk shows, then they collect their paychecks at the end of the week and go to their homes.
With leadership such as this, the United States is a nation in peril. The enemy is inside the gates and the leaders turn their faces.
But the United States is not alone in this state of apathy, this state of indifference, and this state of little concern about the rise of terrorism worldwide: for the faces of world leaders, in the palaces of governments and in religions, tell the same story: they are neither stunned, nor outraged, at the rise of violence across the earth. They go about their daily affairs as business as usual: they go to their jobs, shuffle some papers, chat with each other and with the news media, then collect their paychecks at the end of the week and go to their homes.
Relax, they tell us.
There is nothing to worry about.
Relax.
Go to the movies.
Go about your daily affairs as usual.
Collect a paycheck at the end of the week and go shopping.
Watch another football game.
Eat, drink, and be merry.
Why, surely, our leaders know best that which is best for us. Right?
Meanwhile, the war on terrorism is not a war at all; for terrorists are gaining ground every day while the leaders of the world play war games on computer apps and make telephone calls.
Take another look at the faces of the world's leaders. From the United States, to Rome, to Europe, to Russia and China, and to the uttermost parts of the earth. Take another look at their faces. Look at their eyes.
They have no concern for freedom.
They have no heart for the bloodshed of innocent people.
They have no natural affection and no love for others.
Not one of them has faith in God: no, not one.
Not one of them speaks for God: no, not one.
Meanwhile, freedom worldwide is vanishing before our eyes. Little by little and day by day the enemy continues to murder and butcher people everywhere---while the leaders of the world do nothing.
The United States is surely a nation in peril. But not only is this nation in trouble, for every nation upon the earth is a nation in peril.
Our only hope for freedom must be in God. But if people do not want God's help, then God will leave people alone: for God will not go where God is not welcome.
"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24: 15)
