On this Sunday today’s read is from Clifford C. Nichols, an attorney and the author of A Barrister’s Tales . Here’s an excerpt:

Today, there seems to be two views in the Christian community about what direction God is going to take for America in this battle of good versus evil. 

One is that God will overcome evil to restore America to its former greatness. You know … take us all back to the good ol’ days when America used to be one nation under God—patriotic as a whole generally, but not without its faults. 

The other is that God intends to punish a nation that has come to not only embrace, but promote, blasphemies on many levels—placing many idols on legal and social pedestals before which we are all being compelled to bend a knee and worship them every day, except Sunday … maybe.  

In light of all that is going on in our culture, you could make a strong argument for God taking either tack.
