America is in spiritual freefall. Evidenced by the moral freefall. By the rise of every pagan god and practice, by the turning from the God of the Bible, turning from Jesus Christ and making Him into every conceivable lie and falsehood in order to discredit the truth of the Scriptures, to add to the already massive confusion, mayhem and being given over to reprobate wicked, lost minds.
If we must live in this everything abbreviated, can’t really say, can’t really spell it out lost, decayed, deluded world without pushing back, fighting back, taking the time to spell things out, speak what needs to be spoken — why are we alive and professing to be Christ followers? Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, believers in every word within the Word of God?

The Forces of Evil Are Exalted
Wake up professed follower of the Lord Jesus Christ! Which is the ONLY WAY America the dead, America the lost, America given over to paganism will ever have any chance of waking up, surviving, going on…
…get your eyes, hearts, ears, minds, and spirits out of being entertained, out from what is called Christian fiction, or Christian entertainment — fictional video or film accounts of the Bible and personages of the Bible, get away from all the feel good, but it’s what I want to hear dung of the false teachers and get back to the Holy Bible. All of it. Every word. Get back to God. The REAL GOD of the Holy Bible. Not the idolized, made up one in most people’s minds to make them comfortable, to keep them from squirming, sweating a bit, and paying careful attention. Get back to the Jesus of the Bible. Not the manmade created one that is blasphemy and idol worship as almost every iteration of Jesus in fiction, film, and television stories goes against Scripture. But that’s the point.
Do not be deceived.
Why isn’t the Holy Bible entertaining, interesting enough for you? Why aren’t nonfiction faith writings by people such as John Stott, Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones, Sinclair Ferguson, Jack Hibbs, Greg Laurie, J.C. Ryle, C.H. Spurgeon, C.S. Lewis, Christopher Ash, A.W. Tozer, Alistair Begg, R.C. Sproul, Warren Wiersbe, David P. Murray, William Gurnall, Jonathan Edwards, Matthew Henry, John Knox, Iain H. Murray, John Newton, John Owen, A.W. Pink, Derek Prime, William Tyndale, George Whitefield, Octavius Winslow, to name a few enough?
An individual can spend 10,000 lifetimes reading the Holy Bible and never know it all, learn everything contained within. Every time sitting down with God’s Word is new. Even when reading a verse, a passage, a chapter, or a book within read myriad times. And if that isn’t enough for you? Begin researching the writings of the men mentioned above. That should keep one interested and entertained. But more importantly — actually growing and maturing spiritually. Actually living for and with God, for and with Christ, for and with the Holy Spirit, for and with the Word of God within the heart to draw upon continually like breath!
Stop the spiritual freefall, professed Christ follower. And the moral freefall — all else will take care of itself. Including all things political. Not according to me. According to God and His inerrant infallible living and active Word.

America is in Moral Freefall
March 31, 2024
By Michael Brown
Reprinted from ASKDRBrown
For many years now, it has been clear that America has been in a steep moral and spiritual decline, despite some genuine revival movements along with some holy pushback against the growing cultural insanity.
But two recent examples confirm that we are now in moral freefall.
The first is Pres. Biden’s proclamation that March 31, which this year falls on Resurrection (Easter) Sunday, is now “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
This is not a poorly timed announcement.
It is not even a slap in the face.
It is a kick below the belt accompanied by a laugh and a smile. It is as insulting as it is perverse, no matter how much we care for our trans-identified friends and colleagues and want them to experience wholeness and freedom in the Lord.
The second example is a post by Baptist leader William Wolfe, contrasting this presidential announcement, which was made on Good Friday, with Good Friday, 1956:
“Good Friday, 1956: Three crosses on the NYC Skyline
“Good Friday, 2024: The White House celebrates ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’
“America didn’t become ‘less religious.’
“We just traded Christianity and the cross for the religion of LGBTQIA+ and the rainbow flag.”
This prompted David Limbaugh to repost Wolfe’s post with the comment, “Is it fair to say that we are now a full-blown pagan society?”
Yes, it is quite fair – at least for those celebrating the Biden proclamation and for the symbolic significance of this act, emanating from the White House itself.
Of course, this twisted trend (in the name of compassion and, at times, “Christian” love) is nothing new. That’s why, in February 2020 I wrote an article titled, “As We Mindlessly Careen Our Way Down the Slippery Slope.”
It began with these words:
“Is anyone surprised that HGTV recently featured its first “throuple,” in this case, a man and two women? But what else should we expect? This is the inevitable direction of our society’s slippery slide down. The avalanche goes downward, not upward.”
In that regard, we have been in moral freefall for many years, with Christian philosophers like Francis Schaeffer calling America a “post-Christian nation” over 50 years ago.
As noted by Elliot Clark in December 2020,
“Yes, back in 1970, Schaeffer says the United States—not just continental Europe—was already post-Christian. He writes about the reality of historic Christianity becoming the minority in the West, stripped of cultural power and influence.” (Schaeffer also had this prescient warning: “in this situation, Schaeffer identifies a great danger for evangelicals: taking sides with political elites in order to retain comfort, affluence, and personal peace. In the face of societal chaos and upheaval, Schaeffer doesn’t want Christians to compromise for the sake of short-lived comfort.”)
So, to repeat, we have been in spiritual and moral and cultural decline for decades, despite, as I noted above, some positive developments in the midst of the decay.
And it is true that, back in 1944, nine years before the first edition of Playboy was published, Rev. Peter Marshall declared,
“Surely the time has come, because the hour is late, when we must decide. And the choice before us is plain — Yahweh or Baal. Christ or chaos. Conviction or compromise. Discipline or disintegration.”
Similarly, in 1959, Prof. Robert Coleman proclaimed,
“In a day when unprecedented numbers of people have a form of religion while at the same time the church seems unable to stem the rising tide of degeneracy that threatens the land, the question must be raised: Why this paradox? Should not the church have influence for righteousness in proportion to her numbers? However one may seek to answer this question, it is obvious that what we need is not more religion, but more power. In short, we need real revival!”
I’m confident that we can go all the way back to the American colonies and find similar, thunderous warnings, speaking of our spiritual apostasy and moral rot.
After all, the first Great Awakening, which presupposed a great falling away, took place in the 1730s and 1740s, “at a time when the idea of secular rationalism was being emphasized, and passion for religion had grown stale.”
There’s even a danger of becoming so accustomed to our nation’s precipitous condition that we just yawn at the latest example of our depravity.
Drag queens reading to toddlers with the enthusiastic support of the American Library Association?—No big deal.
Thirteen-year-old girls having their healthy breasts removed and 11-year-old boys getting chemically castrated because of short-lived struggles with their gender identity?—Nothing to fuss about.
Radical feminists launching a “Shout Your Abortion” movement?—No big deal.
Christians being cancelled because they dare to hold to their biblically-based values in public?—Let’s not get too worked up.
How deadly complacency can be!
That’s why we need to feel the full force of the outrage of the moment, as the President of the United States, himself a professing Catholic, uses his bully platform to mock the followers of Jesus worldwide. First, he announced “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Good Friday. Then, he timed things so that it would be celebrated this year on Resurrection (Easter) Sunday.
Wake up, America!
It really is revival or we die! – and that revival, that awakening, that coming to life again, that returning to the Lord with all our hearts and souls, repenting of our own sins – must begin with each of us.
To pray it again, “Lord, let the awakening start with me!”
