This is a poignant excerpt from a message by Dr. Erwin Lutzer, pastor of Moody Church in Chicago, Illinois. In this clip, Dr. Lutzer expounds upon what he calls "the high costs of forgetting God." Here, friends, are a few scriptures which, truth be told, hit America right between the eyes. They are: 1) "blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord", Psalm 33:12, 2) "righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people", Proverbs 14:34, 3) "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn", Proverbs 29:2, and 4) "the wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God", Psalm 9:17. America, in her godless, humanistic, carnal wisdom, has turned her back on God and shaken a defiant fist in his face for many years, and on many levels, and yet, Holy Writ expresses crystal clearly that "the wages of sin (transgressing God's laws, precepts, and concepts) is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord", Romans 6:23. This applies not just to individuals, but to whole nations as well, and though this message Dr. Lutzer delivers will of a surety not be a popular one with the masses, it is thoroughly truthful nonetheless. And, friends, though this world and its declining system has an inherent aversion to bible truth, it is solely bible truth, God's truth and his truth only, that wields and retains the necessary potency to consistently break the chains, the shackles, (even the consequences), of sin, and truly make those who desire it both naturally and spiritually free, as it is written by the Lord Jesus Christ himself in John 8:8, "and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
