This is obviously an old WWII poster. It was meant to stir the emotions of the nation into fighting the Nazi regime. This image used to be threatening to the people of America…and so we fought that war.
But now, not even a century later…what was the point? Take away the swastika from that photo and you would likely have a modern, American-born campaign to “eliminate bigotry and promote equality.”
It used to be believed that American was a nation that was chosen by God to prosper, and, if we are completely honest, a good majority of the nation still believes that to be true whether they admit it or not. But America is not a nation chosen by God…it never has been, it never will be. America is a place where human “morality” reigns and corrupted “wisdom” is revered. Be yourself, don’t let anyone tell you what to do, live for today, God has blessed you….why? Why has God blessed you? Because you live in America?
No, America is just another nation in the history of the world. The only difference between it and every other fallen empire is that we happen to be living in it at the moment and we do not like to admit that we can not control our own fate. So as you look upon that picture, replace the swastika with the American flag, because that is where we stand. Or better yet, replace it with the church because if we are honest, we only have ourselves to blame.
In this day in age there is no reverence for that which is biblical. We, as a church, do not care about biblical things. We want to be happy. We want to have money. We want this, we want that, God is cruel when we don’t get our way…
Say what you want about American “christianity”…but it is definitely not Christian. We, as a church, stabbed a knife through the Bible long ago, and now, instead of trying to pull the knife out and preach what is true, we threw the Bible in the fire for the sake of “equality.”
American “christianity” is, I believe, the most corrupt thing on this planet.
May God help us all…

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. -Hebrews 11:24-26
Agreeing with Moses, by Grace, is very costly indeed and will get you all kinds of reproach and called all kinds of names and it may get you "thrown out of the synagogue". Hold fast to what is true.
Interestingly, Sunday's Scripture reading at Trinity was Isaiah 3:16-26 before a prayer that we would focus on being beautiful in God's sight more so than in man's. It was refreshing.
