Letter to the editor: America needs God's grace

The anger and rage are palpable. The divisiveness is nearing civil unrest. Our moral depravity is of biblical proportions. America the beautiful is turning very ugly.

Vitriol spews from television, radio, newsprint and social media as if from the mouth of a serpent. We vainly attempt to change the meaning and divine purpose of language, love, sex, gender, history, truth and reality itself. “We call evil good and good evil, and put darkness for light and light for darkness.”

We reject immutable moral, ethical and spiritual truths and are given over to a reprobate mind to accept strong delusion. To the secular, materialistic world, the things of the spirit seem foolish. But our nation is in the throes of a struggle for survival, for “we wrestle not against flesh and blood … but against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

This nation has only one hope. “America, America, God shed his grace on thee.”
