I mean now I don't believe the whole thing about God not helping people financially is true. He probably answers to some individuals with their financial problems. I know that we face other extraordinary problems as a world superpower. I'm not saying the USA should have a right to be condescending of everyone else, I really do believe he should help all countries no matter what their condition. I understand God must work in mysterious ways, but doesn't he eventually carry out his outcome in the end? And why does God seem so jealous that he can't help anybody who doesn't think they need him? So I as a believer have to be responsibly held for my own government that infringes on my rights to freedom and prosperity because of non-believers?
You are kidding, right? You're in the USA. Very few people here are starving. Most people have shelter and food and clothing and heat and medicine, far, far more than in many other places on the planet.
As for the answer to your questions, I think we already have a response in the form of "WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH...?"
The downfall of this country is inevitable. it has to happen, when it does, our faith will be tested. You can feel our destruction in the air. if you watch TV you can see it everywhere. it is like that boiling frog analogy. Our card had been called, it is our turn to fall, and fall we will. Just keep you eyes on Christ.
I have to laugh every time I read another post about how wretched and sinful our country is. God cares about us as INDIVIDUALS and we as INDIVIDUALS have the responsibility to respond to his grace with our actions. If we all concentrated on this instead of blaming our "sinful" society and griping how our nation has fallen away from God, we'd all be a lot better off.

If the end of this system, that is, the kingdoms of men, should come to its conclusion which one of them would each of us have faith in. The one we were born in or God's kingdom?
