Did you know that 38 percent of young adults in America don't believe in God? Sorrowfull, such a waste.

I amazes me that this country was established because of religious persecution, Pilgrams ran from their persecuters to be the first inhabitants of our country.  They were looking for the freedom to worship God.  Others came after, more and more joined them and our country had it's foundation.  The forefathers founded our country on belief in God and the seperation of that believe and state.  They never intended to turn their backs on the Lord, they just didn't want the religious narrow minded to overwhelm our fledging country the way many theologies of the churches did in Europe.  They wanted us to have the freedom to worship God seperate from the running of the country.  Sadly in this day and age the few have parlayed that into the oppressive view of God not being allowed in our country, which was never the intent of the forefathers.  It always amazes me when non-believers say "if there is a God where was he when this or that happened."  The reality is that if you don't believe in God he doesn't believe in you.  He doesn't hear your voice if you belittle him or proudly shout that he is non existant then expect him to come to the rescue in your life.  If you want the Lord to bless you and keep you it is easy to have that, you believe in his existance and become part of his promise. Hebrews 11:1"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."   Faith isn't about putting on an act for others, no one know for sure but you and God if you are saved, so it is not about doing better than the Jones.  Faith isn't about what you can get for nothing.  Well, it is but it is more complicated than that, it has substance and God sees the heart of the faithful. 

Today we live in a country where by survey it has been determined that 38 percent of young adults don't believe in God.  I am totally unaware of what it is that they believe in having never not believed with all my heart that God is and always has been the Great I Am.  So how did the grandchildren of the Greatest Generation, that carried God in their hearts on to the battle field, so easily walk away from God?  How did the baby boomers that were the children of that generation not introduce their children to the Lord?  Did we as a generation coddle our babies and inable them in to disbelief? if so shame on us.  We have decided that we should be so politically correct that 38 percent of our spoiled, lazy, self indulgent progeny don't believe in a power greater than themselves, well they way we brought them up as a whole maybe we did give them a god complex but lets get real.  God exists and more than a third of our young people will never know the joy of the Lord, sadly as they don't beleive in him he doesn't believe in them and they will die never knowing his glorious presence.  I am so sad for this generation.  They have it all, instant satisfaction in all that they do and the hollowness of never knowjng the Lord.  They are the kings of all they touch and survey but their kingdom will never mean anything with out the everlasting persense of God and the home he promises to all that believe and are saved.  I sorrow at the ones that have it all for this short instant in time and have nothing they can't see and touch.  I would much rather spend my life in abject poverty, persecuted and down troddened than to think for a moment that God didn't exist, as there is nothing like the joy that faith in God brings.  I am so sorry for the lost souls of this generation, and their generations to come, the complete and utter loss is heart wrenching when God asks so little for the reward he offers.... tomorrow.
