In 2001, terrorists struck the twin towers. I believe God allowed that to tell us that He would no longer protect us unless we turned back to Him. It was Rosh Hosanna, the Jewish holiday reminding them of the coming judgement where God would judge men and they blew the trumpets to sound the warning and read the Scripture that told that if God’s people would turn from their wicked ways and pray, God would hear their cry and would heal their land. They did not know that God allowed it to serve as a wakeup call. Unfortunately America did not listen. They rushed back to church for a little while, but did not change their ways and many soon drifted away from church again. George W. Bush was in office and trying to maintain the values that made America great but laws can only control evil when they are enforced and then they can only control actions, they cannot control feelings. It can stop a lot of killing but it cannot control the hatred that causes it. Unless people value life, they will find a way to kill. Unless people value the law, they will not obey it if they feel they can get away with it. Unless people value marriage, they will not preserve it. Many churches no longer teach the value of life, the value of law, and the value of marriage and many in church have gotten their values from the world.
