God's warning judgements are falling on the nation. Unless there is a national repentance, sure and certain judgement will come to this land. The nation will fall God does not send his judgement without warnings. Today we are receiving his warnings. One day his warnings will stop and judgement will fall in its fullness on this land if we do not repent as a nation. God has greatly blessed this land like no other. Yet we are not grateful for His blessings as we should be. We are more and more trying to separate ourselves from God. If we continue on this course, we will lose the blessing of God on this nation. Peter Lillback in his book George Washington's Sacred Fire quotes from Washington's draft of his Farewell Address for 1796: "That as the all wise dispensor of human blessing has favored no nation of the earth with more abundant, and substantial means of happiness than United America, that we may not be so ungrateful to our Creator; so wanting to ourselves; and so regardless of posterity, as to dash the cup of beneficience which is thus bountifully offered to our acceptance." (p. 316) Today, we need conviction of sin to cover this nation. We need a great mourning to go up over the whole land, a mourning over our great sins. Then, we need the nation as a whole to turn back to the God of its founders. One of the parables that teaches the conviction of sin so clearly is the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. Conviction of sin leads to salvation. This is so for an individual. This is also so for a nation. The greatest need of the hour is conviction of sin.
