Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

There has been a decline in goodness in America and I fear it is because we did not do this daily. We have seen a steady decline in earnest praying Christians. We cannot exhort anyone outside our camp. The enemy needs conviction not exhortation. In our zeal for peace we have made peace with the enemies of the cross.

1 Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

America’s life is less peaceable, less godly, and less honest. There have been revivals calling reversal of fortune in America but the decline continues.

There is a show called Outlander in which the main characters want to rewrite history because they know what will happen in the future. They failed at every attempt. History could not be changed.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

This prophesy cannot be avoided any more than changing our past history. It is a fool’s errand to think that we can bring about this prophecy. It will happen in due course, just as all prophecy is accomplished. So what are the choices we have before us?

Exhort one another today. Leave the results up to God.
