A Nation Abandoned by God

That's the title of a sermon delivered by John MacArthur.  James Dobson featured this sermon on his show last week.  My husband and I just got the chance to sit down and listen to it tonight, and man, it's a heavy talk, and had us both speechless.  Here is the blurb about it:


The Bible records that, "because the Israelites forsook God and no longer served Him, He became angry with them. He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Amorites, who that year shattered and crushed them." Is modern-day America, which has forsaken godly principles in favor of rampant immorality, in danger of similar judgement? Will God abandon our nation as He did with Israel? He already has, says the Rev. John MacArthur. Well-known pastor and theologian makes a strong biblical case for his dramatic assertion. This thought-provoking message should move believers to pray for revival in our nation as never before.
"One of the most tragic scenes in the Bible ... is the scene of the strongest man who ever lived, a man by the name of Samson, finding out he had no strength ... He said, 'I will go out as at other times and shake myself free [of the Philistines].' ... But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him. So the Philistines seized him." -- Rev. John MacArthur


Definitely take the time to listen if you can.  Go HERE for Part 1, and HERE for Part 2.  If for some reason you can't listen, you can find a transcript of the message HERE.
