We must admit the fact that Sodom of old would appear a shinning light when compared to America in 2014. We are indeed a most depraved and ungodly nation. We have embraced almost everything God has deemed unclean or abdominal. Why have we not provoked our own destruction?
I submit that while we have sent missionaries to every continent and have a church on nearly every corner it is our generosity that has stayed God's hand. No other people are as quick to respond to a natural disaster or a deadly disease anywhere in the world as are the American people. We give of our people, our money, and our resources whenever and wherever the need arises without regard as to whether those receiving our assistance is friend or foe.
When Katrina hit New Orleans, I saw most all the churches in my town mobilize overnight to transport clothing, water, and human essentials to the beleaguered residents of New Orleans. Private vehicles were made readily available for the task. I have seen this happen time and again.
We support the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army who are most often the first responders to any national emergency. We feed the homeless and the displaced veterans.
Again, this is in my own small and personal opinion the singular reason God has delayed wiping us off the face of the earth.
