SERIES: NIGHTMARES IN AMERICA

Message # 1: "The Hallucinations in Our Country"

Text: Leviticus 18: 20 -25

Intro: There are underlying principles and causes that are promoting nightmares in America. Our Society is based upon the cause and effect principle. When there are effects, then there is always a root cause. Our society wants to treat the effects, but ignores the cause. God says, "Get rid of the cause, and the effects will disappear". Example: Drunk driving. The word "hallucination" means "delusion". II Thess 2:11 "and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion". These hallucinations or delusions have resulted in:

I. A FATAL LAPSE OF MEMORY

Ps 33: 12 "Blessed is the nation, whose God is the Lord". We have had a fatal lapse of memory in these areas:

A) Our Founding

Patrick Henry in 1776 said, "It cannot be emphasized two strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians, nor by religion-- but on the gospel of Jesus Christ"

1) Godly Landmarks

a. scripture (immediately after creating Declaration of Independence, Continental Congress voted to purchase and distribute 20,000 copies of the Bible. In 1782, Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools" 6-25-62 US Supreme Court removed prayer from schools 1963 US Supreme Court removed Bible reading devotions from schools. 1980 US Supreme Court removed the ten Commandments from the walls of the schools 2003 US Supreme Court removed the Ten Commandments from the walls of the court houses. "Remove not the ancient landmarks, which thy fathers have set". When you remove the landmarks(boundaries), you change your identity and cease to be what you were!! Barrack Obama declared June as the month of Gay pride. He was the first of 5 previous presidents who did not even

recognize the National day of prayer

b. sanctity of life ("life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness")

nation was formed with people that respected the value of life. They believed that only God brings life into existence. 1973 RoevsWade (25 years we have murdered 80 million babies.) That's 3,200,000 a year, 615,000 per week, 8,806 per day, 325 each minute, 5.4 each second.

c. sacredness of marriage (the most ancient landmark we have is contained in Gen 2:2, the sancitity of marriage. Defined in God's Word as a union between a man and a woman. Jesus said in Mt 19:4 "Have ye not read, that he which made them in the beginning, made them male and female" (No Freds and Eds)

2) Godly Learning

Aristotle: "all men who have meditated on the art of governing mankind are convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of it's youth Westward movement in America: Sunday School was the educational system. Barrack Obama: "We can't govern this country with the Bible, it is too converversial". Ezra Stiles (1st president of Yale University): "I believe and I am

led that the United States is under a peculiar obligation to become an Holy people under the Lord our God". Barack Obama: We are no longer just a Christian Nation. 1966 Yale University abolished the teaching of creationalism.

The 1st four members of the National Sunday School Board:

1) Benjamin Rush - original signer of the Declaration of Independence

2) John Marshall - 1st chief justice of the Supreme Court

3) John Pollack - Director of US mint (designed "In God we trust" for our money.

4) Francis Scott Key - wrote our National Anthem

3) Godly Lifestyles

1607 Jamestown - built wooden cross - Thanksgiving service

Plymouth Rock - Pilgrims had a worship service 1st day

Every atheist society has fallen: Babylon, Sodem, Greece, Rome, Germany, Japan, Russia

Take God out of your reasoning, then anything becomes reasonable

B) Our Founder (In God we trust)

the pilgrims left England to establish a nation which would be governed by the [people, and the people would use godly principles from the Bible as it's example. 200 years later, we are exactly the same country which they left!!!

II. A FOOLISH LEVEL OF MEANING

used to be murder, now it is abortion.

used to be drunkenness, now it is alcoholism and a social disease

used to sodomy, now it is homosexuality-Gay rights- alternate lifestyle

used to be perversion, now it is adult entertainment

used to be lying, cheating, stealing - now abnormal social developments

used to be adultery, now(according to John Edwards) it is an improper laison

III. A FRACTURED LANDMARK OF MORALITY

we have redefined the most basic fundamental basics of morality:

A) "what ever is legal is moral"

a 1986 abortion clinic doctor sued a protestor for slander, because he called him "a murderer". His defense in court, which he won, was this "How could I be a murderer if I haven't broken the law"?

B) "we can have morality without religion"

1962 - Prayer out of school - Hell in

l963 - Bible devotions out of school - Hell in

l980 - Ten Commandments out of school - Hell in

1973 - Abortion legal - murder legal - hell in

2002 - Christmas out of schools - Hell in

In the book "Original Intent" pp. 240-246:

SAT scores plumented, illegimate births have skyrocketed,

crime has escalated, alcohol and drug consumption went to

the ceiling. We have gone from having a chaplain in schools

to having armed guards in schools.

C) "morality cannot be legislated"

but immorality can be. Abortion (murder) is now legal.

no law is neutral: neutral politicians "no abortion for my

family, but I cannot condemn someone else for doing it"

What if in Neuremburg trials, the judge had said "well I per-

sonally would not have killed 6 million Jews, but I cannot

condemn Adolf Eichmen for doing it"

D) Family values have been redefined

one of the main reasons for child abuse is that there is no

blood bond between step parents and children.

exchanged roles of men and women )men with earrings,

women toting guns

31 million children in this country have only 1 parent present

1/5 of a child's life up to age 10, is spent in front of television
