A Famine In America

Summary: If America rejects the Bible, it will no longer be great.
A FAMINE IN AMERICA
AMOS 8:11
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:”
This famine is due to sin and it will be severe.
Two things must be pointed out about Amos.
1. He was fearless. (In not tickling their ear
but telling them the truth.)
2. He was faithful. (Thus saith the Lord was his
his message.)
The Supreme Court has almost succeeded in banding the Bible from all public places.
I. A NATION WITHOUT THE BIBLE IS WITHOUT
FREEDOM.
A. SOMEONE MAY ASK, “WHAT IS THE TRUTH.”
John 18:38
B. THE SAVIOR SAYS, “THY WORD IS TRUTH.”
John 17:17
C. THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, “THE TRUTH SHALL SET
FREE.”
John 8:32
D. HOW SAD THAT TRUTH HAS FALLEN IN THE
STREETS.
Isaiah 59:14
1. Our courts have legalized murder.
2. Our churches are laxed on morality.
II. A NATION WITHOUT THE BIBLE IS WITHOUT A
FOUNDATION.
A. WHAT WE BUILD UPON IS VERY IMPORTANT.
1. Some build upon the sands of religion.
2. We should build upon the Solid Rock.
B. “If that foundation be destroyed what will the
righteous do?"
III. A NATION WITHOUT THE BIBLE IS WITHOUT
FAITH.
A. GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE THEM THAT REJECT
HIS MESSAGE.
B. GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE THEM THAT REJECT
HIS MERCY.
