It is obvious to any thinking American who researches the history of his country that the train left the track somewhere between 1620 and 1787. It did not happen overnight. The Pilgrims and the Puritans started off on target. A few generations later, many were trusting in John Locke and other "enlightenment" philosophers. That same slippery slope brought France down in a bloody revolution.
The sudden conflagration that devoured France was staved off in America by a weak and retreating Christianity (which was better than no Christianity).
Much of today's Christianity is even weaker and more retreating than ever. This pietistic Gnosticism doesn't have the strength to swat a fly, let alone engage in "(...pulling down of strongholds;) casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" (II Cor. 10:4-5).
While the worshipers of Dagon parade up and down in the valley, as Goliath, boasting against the living and true God, Christians must proclaim the crown rights of King Jesus and the validity of God's law. Without this repentance,we are obviously headed for a French-style revolution, the fruit of trust in man,
