History tells us, and America should learn this sooner rather than later, before it is too late, that civilizations and their cultures first are shaped by their beliefs, not looking at materialism as the foundation of their purpose in life. When they depart from their moral ideals, triviality and desire for more and better “things” creeps in; a yearning for luxury sets in and the trap is successful. In Christian nations we see the same symptoms with the additional incremental problem of manifesting a “spiritual superiority”, but when we shine the light of God’s Word it reveals no such thing, rather a deep superficiality and religious meaningless rituals. It is time for America to get truly focused if she is to survive.
