A culture is known by its theology. Today’s dominate theology is that there is no God. God did not create the world. God did not judge the antediluvian world. God did not covenant with Abraham to bless all nations in his Seed.
Man wants to suppress his innate knowledge of God because he thinks of himself as autonomous. He is his own god. And he will hold to nonsense so that he can deny his accountability to the God who reveals Himself in nature and in the conscience and in Jesus Christ. The power of this theology is not its truthfulness, but that it is agreeable to men in their rebellion against their creator.
When knowledge of the true God is suppressed then culture looses its objective standard of morality. Each man determines his own morality, and one man made morality is as good as the next one. No man can question what is right or wrong because there is no truth.
The power of this lie cannot stand before the power of God. Christians, will we pray for our country like Daniel prayed for his in Daniel 9? God may yet visit us in mercy and turn His wrath away from us and bring us to repentance.
