[quote]WHY GOD IS BLESSING CHINA – BUT JUDGING AMERICA!
by Dr. R. L. Hymers, Jr.

Christianity is the foundation of American liberty; it is the foundation of true science; it is the foundation which leads to general and abundant prosperity. (NO - I don't mean any of that "prosperity preacher" stuff - that's a whole different context!)

America and the West are crumbling. Our society is filled with moral and spiritual confusion. Witness the fact that the Bible is being disregarded in America, and even attacked. Witness the fact that our homes are broken. Young people are lonely most of the time, simply because most of our homes have been shattered by the widespread rejection of practical Christianity. Young Americans have been cut off from their families, and left to wander in the streets, alone – while their secular college professors continually attack Christianity – the only thing that could save our nation from ruin!

In America, our churches are in trouble.
Not only have our churches closed their evening services, hardly anyone has a real prayer meeting any more. They may have Awana, choir practice, or a Bible study on Wednesday night, but real prayer meetings are now a thing of the past in nearly all our churches.

What about evangelism? How many churches have an effective program of evangelism, that actually gets unconverted people to church every Sunday? Very few! Dr. James Dobson said that nearly all “church growth results from transfer of memberships” (Focus on the Family newsletter, August 1998, p. 2). In other words, churches only know how to “steal” members from other churches. They have no idea how to assimilate non-Christians into their churches, and get them converted. That is why America’s churches, for the most part, are dying. Dr. Woodrow Kroll of “Back to the Bible” said, “The Vanishing Ministry is not just the title of a book; it is a disastrous reality” (Woodrow Kroll, Th.D., The Vanishing Ministry, Kregel Publications, 1991, p. 10).

Horrible as it may sound, most American churches are drying up and disappearing before our very eyes! Why is this happening? Because God is judging America, and
“A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven” (John 3:27).
China is turning to Christ. America is turning away from Christ.

IIIThird, because your dead heart will remain unconvinced of sin,
