Hosea 4:1, 6, 12, 16 NIV “Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites, because the Lord has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: “There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children. My people consult a wooden idol, and a diviner’s rod speaks to them. A spirit of prostitution leads them astray; they are unfaithful to their God. The Israelites are stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. How then can the Lord pasture them like lambs in a meadow?”  https://bible.com/bible/111/hos.4.1-16.NIV

America has been in a moral decline for decades. The Church has failed in its mission to teach obedience to everything Jesus commands. This work of the pastor and every person who calls themselves Christian, for Jesus has made all of His people into a kingdom of priests, has been neglected by far too many. Instead, we have loved the approval of men more than God. We let science tell us our bible has errors. We let the psychologist tell us our hearts matter more than God’s commands. We let the sociologists tell us that our feelings are more important than God’s will. Money, pleasure, and prominence have been our desire more than holiness, faithfulness, and God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We need a DOGE within American Christendom exposing false beliefs and teachings and removing them from the Church. This will happen when the people of God read the Word of God and commit themselves to obeying God unequivocally. The Scripture is God’s eternal declaration of Himself and His ways so that all people in all places and at all times can repent from their sinful and selfish ways and return to Him for reconciliation and eternal healing, to enjoy life forever with God and all those who have ever loved Him. God is good and so worthy to be loved, praised, and obeyed. His commands are not burdensome to us but are the very things we want most; love for one another, forgiveness, peace, kindness, and service to the best interest of each other. The knowledge of God is sorely lacking because it has been ignored by most and distorted by many, resulting in the culture we inhabit of brokenness. The solution is to repent, return, and recommit to following Jesus as Lord and Savior through obedience to everything He has commanded in the Scriptures.
