America Can Learn From Great Britain

America can learn much from Great Britain. No, I am not talking about economics, politics, or medicine. I am referring to Great Britain's apostasy from the true and living God. Consider the following illustration:

John Wycliffe, John Knox, David Livingstone, Hudson Taylor, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, G. Campbell Morgan -- what a notable list of Christian leaders from Great Britain! They established vital churches, publishing houses, and mission societies. In spite of this godly heritage, a recent edition of the London Times stated, "Britain emerges as one of the most irreligious countries in the Western world from the latest survey by the British Social Attitudes team."

What happened? The emotional scars of two World Wars, the loss of a world empire, and the weakening effects of liberal clergy could all be cited as causes. But there is a deeper, spiritual reason for the decline of any nation. Its citizens lose interest in God. They don't believe He makes any difference in their lives, so they make gods out of their own accomplishments. -- David Burnham

America is rapidly losing interest in God; the savior of the people is becoming the government. The government now owns the banks and auto industry. Where will it all end? It may end when God's people unite in prayer and begin to walk in holiness, true holiness and not some man made version. Holiness means to be separated unto God to serve Him. When we all begin to live consecrated lives, things can change. America, learn from Great Britain.
