Welcome to AllFaith.com and Beit Emunah's AllFaith Community Worship! We are a community of diverse people from different and unique backgrounds united in the belief that God is ONE and desires us to be of One Spirit.
We Are One In The Spirit Despite our desired unity, we as a nation and a people remain woefully divided. There are several ways to describe the spiritual state of our country and the world. One of the kindest ways to put it is that the majority are spiritually asleep. Having become dissatisfied with empty, organized religion, many have zoned out and given up on spirituality and God. Some sleep in the pews, most sleep elsewhere, seeing no reason to go to community worship at all. Many people are hoping and praying that a spiritual revival is beginning, that a new light is dawning. I hope this is the case, because We The People need to Wake Up.
Time To Wake Up
by John of AllFaith
Happy 249th birthday, America!
The US has undergone many changes during these years, as has the entire world. More significant world-altering changes and events, discoveries, and breakthroughs have occurred during these 249 years than in the rest of history combined, and the American Experiment has been at the heart of much of it, for better or for worse.
This year is different! With the US teetering on the brink of destruction and the almost-embrace of Communism, President Trump is trying to pull the nation back from the precipice... This has many people excited that God may again smile upon us and restore our nation.
But not everyone agrees this is what's happening!
Many people are worried that the President is merely changing the trajectory of our fall from too far left to too far right.
The US has not been so fundamentally divided since the American Civil War / War of Northern Aggression (depending on one's perspective on that war). Good patriotic Americans were on both sides then as now. Which side is right? Or perhaps more concerning, is the perception of many that we are being ruled by a globalist uniparty that has no intention of allowing our national restoration!
The War Between the States wasn't that long ago. It went from April 12, 1861, to May 26, 1865, a mere 92 years before my birth. Following the War Between the States, Americans managed to restore our national unity, although at a very high cost, and the Republic survived. Today, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren of that generation fear that unity is no longer an option. The divide seems too deep and wide. It's gone beyond simple "Trump Derangement Syndrome" now. A significant percentage of our people want Socialism and a fundamentally different paradigm for the nation. They seem to ignore the lessons of history.
Is it too late? Have we gone too far to be the 'United' States again? I pray not. Let us affirm our intention to come back together and usher in a golden age, as the President is proclaiming. To do this, we must choose to have mutual respect and unity. We must rid ourselves of both the Communist Socialist and the Globalist ideologies seeking to destroy our nation. It will be hard work, but it is not too late yet. We can unite around our founding principles once again and become the Nation by and for the People. We can show the world that America really is back! That it’s not just a slogan.
In America, Charlie Daniels Band
John Adams wrote, "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
We need to take this to heart. Morality and religious faith in God are the foundations on which this democratic republic was established. Are we still a nation of morality and religious faith? Our self-governance requires us to be if our society is to reclaim our lost freedoms. Yet, for the past many decades, the dominant cultural influencers have been at war with both morality and religious faith on both sides of the imaginary aisle. As a nation, we are no longer a moral or religious people. As a nation, we have "left the derech," the path of righteousness. We all know this is true, though we pretend otherwise. This is where we are if we are honest.
This is the way of all nations historically. The great ones have lasted anywhere from 2 to 300 years, and then they grow lazy and corrupt. They fall before their enemies, or they implode like the Soviet Union. Remember them? For the past several years, this appeared to be the way the US was unavoidably heading, as Charlie Daniels sang in his song America. "This lady may have stumbled, but she never fell!" Honestly, it still looks that way despite the President's words of encouragement and his plans to repair the damage. Presidents and congresspersons can do many things, but the most important thing this nation needs is something they cannot enact by their laws, although they can certainly encourage or discourage it. For more than half of Americans, the direction the President is leading us in seems to offer a light of hope that will burn for another 250 years and more... maybe. Hopefully.
If President Trump and his advisors, and the loyal minority of patriots still in Congress, are successful, the US may pull out of this malaise and the organized move toward Marxism may be averted. However, as the adage goes, 'Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.' The President's pro-Communist opponents warn of Trump's pro-Globalist tendencies, and in this, they are correct. As a businessperson, his mind is first and foremost in the global market. It is certainly conceivable that we may avoid the Socialist nightmares experienced by other countries that have gone that route, and find ourselves in an even worse globalist dystopia of biblical proportions if we do not act with wisdom and faith in One God. We pray to God that we will prevail against our many enemies, but without a mass revival of faith, we will surely fall and fall hard. It is in our collective hands to decide, through our actions or our apathy, what will be on the other side.
But Religion?
The world is at a crossroads. Another wise adage states, "You can never go home again." We cannot recapture the religiosity and convictions of the past. That "Old time religion" won't work today. The organized religions of our past no longer inspire most people. There are many reasons for this, including rampant scandals involving so many Christian and Jewish clergy persons and virulence towards those of other faiths, hypocrisy, the anti-religion agendas of our schools and entertainment industry, and so on.
Gimme That Old Time Religion, Jim Reeves
Islam, on the other hand, is the fastest-growing religion in the world and the most devoutly practiced. Its growth is primarily attributed to higher birth rates among Muslims and their relatively young population, rather than a large number of conversions, which are thankfully declining as people learn more about Islam, according to a recent Pew Research Center study. While the West aborts millions of babies, Muslims encourage large families. While Christianity remains the largest religion globally, when Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestant denominations are taken together, the Muslim population is growing at a faster rate. Islam has passed all the individual Christian sects. There are more Muslims than Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, etc. Jews aren't even on the scale.
Most observant Jews and Christians are older people, while most Muslims are younger. As the elderly Christians and Jews pass from this life, Islam makes significant percentage leaps forward into the number one slot. As John Adams and so many others have warned, if the West continues to abandon God, its battles with Islam will be lost, and the remaining two significant belief systems will be Islam and Globalism, the "Babylon the Great" of prophecy.
But it's not too late! We can reconnect with our spiritual roots in innovative ways that resonate with people today. We can unite and join our voices. We can learn to honor all faith traditions and encourage faith to blossom. We can rededicate ourselves to One God while honoring our differences. We can rise and declare:
God Bless The USA! Lee Greenwood
The United States was established by religious, moral, people who wanted to be free to worship God according to their hearts. They agreed to do this with others through mutual respect and faith in One God. As the Tehilim states:
Psalm 127: Unless God builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so God gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.We pray God will open our eyes to the truth that God is everywhere and that we are God's people.
God is Everywhere!
Praises and Prayers to God. We invite you to share your prayers with us and with God now. Hold those you would pray for in your heart and release them to GOD for healing and blessing as we sing, The Lord Bless you.
Let us join our hearts and minds and:
Pray For America
Let us work to correct what is wrong, to lift one another up, to feed the hungry, house the homeless, and encourage the downhearted. Let us rise as one people, the children of One God, for the good of all life forms.
May One God hear our prayers and respond favorably to us and restore our nation.
