As jobs dry up and wars drag on, the outlook keeps darkening. Enormous challenges face our political leaders: an economy in collapse, debt too great to ever repay, and, an increasing sense that the future may well be worse than the past. At this crucial hour, perhaps one question rises above all others: “Is God on America’s Side?”

“Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, that will he reap.” That goes for nations as well. The United States has known blessing from the hand of God that few nations in history have been given. But that blessing may be in short supply in the days ahead, as increasingly, we have turned our backs on the God who gives blessings.

The separation of Church and State is a premise not found in the Constitution or in the Declaration of Independence. It’s referred to in the writings of Thomas Jefferson and has been given a level of authority beyond that of the Bible itself. It is now a high wall, designed to keep God in a box while we as a nation do whatever we please. What is the inevitable outcome?

Is God on America’s side? We all thought so when the twin towers were destroyed. Off we went to fight the war on terror. Years later, the war is ongoing. The economy is teetering on the brink. Tough times lie ahead for America, and many feel we’re experiencing God’s righteous judgment. Erwin Lutzer points the way forward for those who want to see America, again, be blessed by God.

For a long time, Christians could comfortably wave the American flag, since they saw their values represented in "Old Glory…." Now the government is repressing the freedoms Christians once had, favoring the agendas of those desiring same–sex marriage and unrestricted abortion. When the red, white and blue no longer blends with the cross of Christ, what do believers do?

We can still enjoy July 4 fireworks, but for many Christians, the liberties we celebrate are now being sharply curtailed. Under pressure from agenda-driven groups, what was once free speech is now a federal crime. In the public schools, tax money is used to indoctrinate our kids in the homosexual lifestyle. Is there a time to stand up and say "no?" Erwin Lutzer says "yes."

The rights of American believers to exercise their religion are now being destroyed, bit by bit. Clearly, persecution is coming. What do we do when faced with tough choices? Choices where we need to decide if we will obey God or man? The book of Acts gives us a blueprint on how to handle suffering for Christ and there may be a lot of that awaiting us in the days ahead. It's time for a much-needed reality check.

When we hear of Christians persecuted for their faith, we often think of high profile people like preachers or missionaries. But a day is coming when ordinary believers will feel the heat as the rising hatred of Christ brings suffering on a wide scale. Our allegiance to Jesus will be tested and we will be sifted like wheat to see if we are the real grain, or merely useless chaff.
