Christianity: Is the US due for a Revival

America is in need of a spiritual revival. We need to turn back to Christian doctrine and moral standards held in The Bible. Moral decay is evident in our government, our teachers, in white collar crime and in the number of adulterous relationships, which have become commonplace. Sexual promiscuity, lack of integrity and greed so prevalent that it caused a mortgage crisis. We can draw the conclusion that the spiritual life of America is seriously degraded.

We have seen an increase in crime and in the number of prisoners.

Now we feel that He is no longer needed in any area of our existence. Divine creation if taught is treated as a peripheral theory. Evolution, on the other hand, can be taught as the only plausible explanation for our existence. If you examine the scripture found in Romans 1:18, which reads as follows: (18)"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness."

Expectations
G od is no longer the center of our lives in America. Here is what II Timothy 3: 1-5 has to say about the state we are presently in. It reads: (1) This know also,
