Where are we going

Where are we going here in the US? We are going in the way of Europe. 
 Francis Schaeffer said in 1982 that if the church in the US did not repent that we would continue to follow in the path of the churches in Europe and become completely irrelevant to our culture. We haven't and we have.
  Since 1982 I have seen additional calls to repentance that have mostly gone unheeded. In the late 80's the message of Operation rescue was "repent from our apathy toward the bloodshed of our preborn neighbors and come to their defense". This message was responded to by thousands and the results were significant. Tens of thousands of lives were spared; thousands of Christians were arrested (more than 3 times the number that were arrested during the civil rights protest of the 60's) and many people came to faith in the Gospel when they witnessed Christians who were giving more than lip service when it came to loving their neighbors as themselves.  The list of other positive results is lengthy.
  There were other calls to repentance from people like Alan Keyes who during his campaign for presidency in 2008 made the ending of legalized abortion his highest priority. Keyes referred to himself as the invisible man because the media just treated him as if he did not exist. Unfortunately the church gave him the same treatment. 
  Consider Europe as we continue to follow their lead in rejecting God. In Scotland a grandmother was arrested twice for standing near an abortion clinic with a sign that read "Coercion is a crime, here to talk only if you want". Also in Scotland a man was arrested for silently praying near an abortion facility. When community officers tasked with patrolling the zone approached him, they asked, "What is the nature of your prayer?" 
 Lest anyone think that the recent rally in DC was any sign of repentance please consider that the lives and actions of the politicians at the event. Any honest assessment of the character of these politicians would conclude that they are at the very least not aligned with Jesus Christ, or biblical Christianity. Consider that while some thousands of people made the sacrifice of their time and money to attend this event the 90+ % of the places where human sacrifice was taking place in the US (including on the day of the event) had NO ONE there pleading for the lives of those who were being sacrificed.

  Christianity is not about rally's and certainly not about giving recognition to immoral political leaders. Christianity starts with repentance and bring forth fruit in keeping with that repentance. Picking up one's cross does not refer to an ornament that one hangs from their rearview mirror. We have shed the blood of over a 100 million human beings through abortions (including those done by chemicals at an early stage of development) and IVF procedures (which President Trump promotes). If God heard the Blood of Able crying out from the ground how deafening must the cry be of these 100 million+ innocent lives be? 
May God grant us true repentance.
