I am inclined to believe that the hearts of millions of Americans have been injected with novocaine, thereby deadening them to any pain that they could feel for the victims of earthquakes and hurricanes.
Still, Americans look to television to tell them the news, for they believe in the word of television more than they believe in the word of God. We have been warned that this would happen:
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: and they shall wander from sea to see, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it." (Amos 8: 11-12)
We know the Bible is used in churches as well as for weddings and funerals, but, after that, where is the Bible in American families today?
Even now, how many Americans are like children: still walking on the Yellow Brick Road in search of the great the powerful Oz to give them everything they need: courage, a brain, and a heart? For it is clear that many Americans lack all three.
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (1st Corinthians 13: 11)
But with the iPhone, it is also clear that Americans have not put away childish things, especially with their prideful selfies that they post online as well as photos of their childish pursuits for fun, and sports, and entertainment: with a little religion on the side for good looks, or for good luck.
Therefore, because Americans are blinded to the truth of God's word, they do not see this once great and powerful nation falling down in front of their eyes; for they choose to believe that this nation will continue as it as it has continued ever since our founding fathers fell asleep.
"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient." (Romans 1: 28)
A reprobate mind is a mind that is void of the knowledge of God, yet even reprobates will use the Bible for weddings and funerals to be legal and proper according to ceremonial rituals. But after these events are over, the Bible disappears as the reprobates return for another injection of novocaine; for the Bible, to them, is no more than a collection of fables and fairytales deep in their dead hearts.
"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2nd Corinthians 4: 3-4)
