This article is a good reminder to not love this world. That’s usually easy for me because I long for “the good old days”, a slower and more simplistic time. Letting go of worldly desires and ambitions isn’t difficult, but the nostalgia of what was, is an area I need to hand over to God.
Even the past, that I see through rose colored glasses lately, is covered in a stain of sin and evil that if I look closely enough I can see, this place has never been my home.
Hebrews 11:16 “But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.”
Nostalgia won’t hold a candle to what is ahead of us, thanks for the reminder Pete. God bless and happy 4th!🎉🇺🇸
I believe the Rapture will create the conditions for what is left of America will become the AntiChrist seat of power. It checks the boxes he will need
Great article that gives perspective. Thanks for taking the time to assemble so many words that remind and edify. I love the USA. But I also know it is not forever.
The good ole days weren't that good anyway. The Lord has been helping us to release our grip on the things of this world. He promises to deliver us blameless (Jude 24). What a promise.

Your final words reminded me of the lyrics from "Not of This World" by Petra. Great song BTW
"We are pilgrims in a strange land
We are so far from our homeland
With each passing day it seems so clear
This world will never want us here..."
Thank you Pete for such a great, God focused commentary. I needed to be reminded of all these things today. Maranantha!!
Come quickly Lord Jesus
Outstanding article! Wise words succinctly articulated to the glory of God! Amen.
Maranatha Amen! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

Thanks Pete for sharing your take and I agree whole heartedly with your thoughts.

Thank you Pete! This was a great reminder for us to “look up for our redemption draws nigh!” Maranatha! 💛🕊️💛
Thanks Pete!
My preference of course is that America is rendered impotent by the rapture and not by decline.
Here is my assessment of where we’ve been and where I hope we end up:
