Letter To America
by C.E. White 11-08-01

It is great that our country is praying as individuals ... collectively ... as a people ... AND ... as a nation. It is great for we cannot win this horrible war against terrorism without GOD. In fact we have not "ever" won any war without GOD ...not ever.

Because we pray does this mean HE is on our side? Does HE want us to win? I believe HE does want us to win but "is HE on our side"??!

I am hoping that many , many of you that get this letter, will forward it to as many people as you can and I PRAY that you keep forwarding it until all of America has received it. If you are a church congregation, I implore you to please distribute it to all of your members - have sermons and lesson discussing the very things in this letter. I am a loyal American. I love my country AND I love our heavenly FATHER. These words lay heavy on my heart and while I know not the exact thoughts of our FATHER, I do believe it is HE that is having me write this "Letter to America."

I ask the question," Is HE on our side" because GOD is only on the side of the righteous. We were wronged by this attack on New York and Washington D.C. BUT, that in itself does not make us righteous....

GOD all but wiped out the human race (The flood, Noah and the ARK) because of the debauchery the human race had slid in to ... sin was the place that they lived.

Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed for the same type of debauchery. Time and again, in the Old Testament, GOD turned HIS back on HIS chosen people, the Israelites, when they forsake HIS love ...HIS rules ... HIS COMMANDMENTS!

This country was founded on "In GOD We Trust" and "One nation, Under GOD"... Time and again we did things the way GOD would have us do it ... AND always, before this generation, we always had a country that had GOD in our personal lives, our business lives AND in our Government.

BUT before September 11, 2001 where was HE in our priorities? Well lets list some "Americanism" that we have "let" happen.

1. Abortion just because we feel like it - If you accept the fact that GOD created us then you must accept the fact that HE had a rule or law of nature that HE put in place - "If you have sex - you can and will many times get pregnant!!" When we perform abortion we have set ourselves up to override GOD's law. We do have the right to do as we want .. HE gave us that right that's why we can chose to do so ... BUT ... HE has laws that apply to us turning our backs on or overriding HIS laws. HE will not stand with us when we override or turn our backs on HIM!!! This is a historical fact - More than anything else THAT is what the Old Testament is for - to show us , here, right now, today, what happens when we disobey, turn our back on, and or override GOD's rules because we have the right!!!

2. Right now the ACLU ( American Civil Liberties Union - "lawyers") is attempting to outlaw the Ten Commandments from any and all public facilities!!! ( when I sent out a request to defend the Ten Commandments by signing a petition to more than 150 people less than 6 signed it AND almost 125 of these 150 I know profess to be christians??!! Some even sent me an email and asked to be removed from my mailing list - apathy - complacency - and Revelations 3:16 said, " You are neither cold nor hot and I am about to spew you from my mouth!"

3. Prayer in public schools has already been outlawed -- AND what is prayer? Our communicating with our FATHER ! That's right ... us children talking to our parent ... and our government has said we cannot talk to our "Parent" publicly! A place of learning refuses to allow our children to learn and yea be taught the importance of speaking to and accepting guidance and blessings from our FATHER!

4. Divorce is committed even faster and with much less regard than marriage. GOD hates divorce! Yet we practice it because ... again... it is our right.

5. Profane language spills out of our entertainers mouths ... and we laugh ... we think they are funny ...cool ... and we are so sold on their profane wit ... we make them rich ... and we make them heroes. Those that don't think them funny do nothing about it. AND can you believe it ... GOD's name is taken in vain in the name of entertainment???

6. Nudity on TV - pornography - shows that our children watch - (Videos, DVDS, movies and TV) - have sexual situations in them all the time AND they stay on TV.... why? because we watch them.... the truth of the matter is any person who performs any sexual act for money, even if it is supposed entertainment, - is a prostitute! GOD despises all of this!

7. We allow homosexuality to be promoted on TV, in movies, in talk shows AND believe it or not, in many public schools and colleges as an acceptable "alternative life style"??? AND if we fight against it, because GOD says it is wrong, we are labeled "homophobics"??? ... phobic or phobia means "irrational fear" - they are right about the fear part - but in this case it is very rational because GOD says that the "beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD!" The Bible says, (1 Corinthians 6:9) "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of GOD? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral no idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor "homosexual" offenders nor thieves nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of GOD!" I Corinthians 6 13: "The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the LORD and the LORD for the Body!" I Corinthians 6 18: "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside of his body but he who sins sexually sins against his own body!"at the end of I Corinthians 6 19: " Therefore honor GOD with your BODY!"

I love this country and my American Family. So I must write this letter because I am afraid for us all. GOD cannot have anything to do with sin - If we, as nation, are allowing and promoting sin - "Whose side will GOD be on??" I tell you this - If GOD be for us who can stand against us?

All of us coming together just because of a crisis and praying to GOD is great BUT if we are not going to address the sinful illnesses that attack our nation there can be no real change .. without change - I ask once again - "Whose side will GOD be on?"

Isn't it time that we turned completely back to GOD??!! Even if it isn't easy or popular ... we had better "run all the way back" to HIM ... before its too late!

Let us fight these sinful atrocities! There are new and old shows on TV this year that promote homosexuality - Don't watch them! Ask ... beg everyone you know not to watch them! Send letters to the networks and their advertisers stating that you will not watch these shows nor buy the advertisers products if they do not CEASE and DESIST with this barrage of sin they attempt to force down our throats! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! For we are at war! We are at war with satan and he very well may have a lieutenant name Bin Laden! For Satan most certainly wants all of GOD's children dead ... so does Bin Laden!

SO, pray my American brothers and sisters that not only does GOD stand beside us ... but that "we" stand beside HIM! For one cannot be accomplished without the other! And again ... fight ...fight... fight! Fight sin ... if we win that battle .. we will win the war against terrorism! Why? Because when we fight sin ... THEN GOD " is " on our side!

In GOD We Trust!

Indivisible, One Nation, Under GOD, With Liberty and Justice for All!

Sincerely,
C.E. White - a reformed guilty bystander.

Come let us be fishers of men!
Matthew 22: 37-40 Jesus replied, "Love the LORD, your GOD, with all of your heart and all of your soul and all of your mind. This is the first and GREATEST commandment, and the second is like it! Love your neighbor as yourself. " ALL" the laws and the prophets hang on these two commandments!"
 
What have you done to day to show GOD and the world that you believe and obey the two Greatest Commandments?
