Good morning,
We will be doing a historical study of Psalms 105, 106, 107, and Acts 7. Our focus will be on Israel, the Church, and the United States. Today we will study the Rejection of Jesus in the United States. The first settlers that came to this continent came to escape religious persecution. The first settlements were governed by the principles of the Bible. God honored their faithfulness with food, shelter, and the opportunity to be free from religious persecution. Then men began to reject God. It began in the pulpits, where false doctrines were being preached. Schools no longer taught from the Bible. Prayer was expelled from schools. The government sanctioned the murder of innocent babies and rejected their ties to God’s chosen people in clear rebellion to God’s covenant with Abraham.
“We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.” (Psalm 106:6)
Rejection of Jesus in the United States
- a) False doctrines
- b) Evolution
- c) Abortion
- d) All forms of moral sins
- e) Expulsion of prayer from schools
- f) Removal of Ten Commandments from courthouses
Conclusion
- Rejection of God will incur punishment from God
- Everyone has rejected God at some point
- Repentance restores a right standing with our God
