Who is Responsible  for the State of  the Nation

        The  famous and powerful preacher, Charles Finney, once stated:  “Brethren,  our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits.  If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. 
        If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it.  If the public press lacks moral discrimination, the pulpit is responsible for it.   If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it.  If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it.   If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for
it.  If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.” 
 
       O how the mighty have fallen!   Preaching on sin must resume in the power of the Holy Spirit quoting from the Holy Bible, (the authorized version).  Preaching against sin will not be popular but it is essential!  Repentance is necessary!
