There is nothing sadder than the fall of a righteous man. And there is
nothing as repulsive as an ungodly man who digs up the matter for years and
decades to come, whose lips are as a flame-thrower, scorching others like
the Devil himself. Revelation 12:10, “And I heard a loud voice saying in
heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and
the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which
accused them before our God day and night.”
America Continues To Defy And Oppose Godly Morality
As America and its leaders increasingly defy God and oppose godly morality, the country faces dire consequences.
Christian in Name Only?
Good News Editor
Political leaders aren't the only hypocrites when it comes to claiming to be Christian while acting far differently. For years America prided itself on being a Christian nation. And while the nation may still claim this, the lives of its people tell a far different story. Consider a few facts that reveal how far the country has fallen:
- More than 40 percent of all U.S. births are out of wedlock, and among women under 30 it's well over half.
- Excluding miscarriages, 22 percent of all pregnancies in the United States are ended by abortion.
- By age 45, an estimated 30 percent of American women will have had an abortion.
- Almost half of all marriages end in divorce, and divorce rates are almost the same among those who call themselves Christian.
- Marriage and family are the building blocks of society, yet barely half of all adult Americans (51 percent) are married, and an ever-increasing number choose to simply live together outside of marriage.
- Nearly half of all Americans (48.5 percent) live in households receiving some kind of government aid. More than a third live in households receiving food stamps, subsidized housing, welfare or Medicaid.
- Although 85 percent of U.S. households own a Bible—and most have more than one—more than half (54 percent) cannot name its first five books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy).
- Almost half of Americans (46 percent) say they read the Bible only once or twice a year.
- A majority of Americans (60 percent) can't name the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and an even greater number (63 percent) can't name more than half of the Ten Commandments.
As Matthew 7:20 tells us, “By their fruits you will know them.”

Isn't that sad? Forty-six percent of Americans said they only read the Bible once or twice a year.

Dolly Parton Has Her Nerve!
The star of the blockbuster Hollywood movie, The Best Little Whore House In Texas (years after making her large contribution to the moral destruction of America), now says America “HAS LOST ALL OUR MORALS AND PRINCIPLES AND VALUES THESE DAYS.” Really, you think? Miss whore of them all, who walks around with her fake breasts sticking 3 feet out in front of her (sized double D, E, F, G and the rest of the alphabet) is a homewrecker. Dolly's secret parts (at least they're supposed to be secret but she likes to flaunt them everywhere) are synthetic and unreal, just like her spiritual life. After making a trademark out of her boobs, don't you dare tell us about the moral decline and lack of family values in America, because you are one of the main contributors to this hellish nightmare. Dolly Parton is like a person who drills holes into the bottom of a boat, and then announces to everybody on board that she thinks the boat is sinking...
Dolly Parton is back on the big screen, starring alongside Queen Latifah in the Gospel-driven “Joyful Noise.” But the country music legend insisted that there is more to the movie than just music and a good time.
“The film is uplifting and I want people to go away feeling better than they did when they got here, because times are hard right now. Everybody's been feeling a little scared and a little down, and the economy has been bad and people don't know what to think. We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days,” Parton told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column at the film’s Hollywood premiere on Monday night. “People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God. So (the movie has) got a lot of heart, a lot of soul. It's about community, it's about pulling together and it's about believing in something bigger and better than you."SOURCE: Dolly Parton: America has lost its 'morals, principles and values' | Fox News
Shame! Dolly Party, Burt Reynolds
and the whole lot of them are wicked people in trouble with God. Dolly
hasn't repented to God, she still walks around exposing her
quadruple-sized-D, E, F, G boobs for the world to lust upon. It's just good
clean lasciviousness, right Dolly? NO ONE who dresses and behaves sexual
immoral has a right in God's eyes to speak about the moral mess in our
nation today. That would belike Hugh Hefner (who founded Playboy
smut magazine) saying that America has forsaken God. Dolly is a sad
joke! How old is she now... 85? I don't hate anybody, and that includes Miss
Parton. I'm just taking a stand for God. Everyone's a sinner and we all make
mistakes at times, but to still display her open breasts for the world to
lust upon while simultaneously talking about the moral decline in America is
the ultimate hypocrisy.
The following Prescription Drug Problem In America
Our nation is no longer our nation, but Satan's. The only hope is turning to God, believing the Gospel. And then as Christians, we must turn from our sins and beg the Lord for His forgiveness to restore our nation...
"Did you know that over 5 million Americans ages 12 and up are taking prescribed painkillers for reasons that aren't medically necessary each year in the U.S.? This new data comes from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and was published in Health Pop on CBS News.
Florida has seen a near 9 percent increase in deaths related to prescription drugs up from 2009, even though law enforcement staged an aggressive crackdown. Oxycodone has been the main culprit, causing over 1,500 deaths in 2010 alone, compared to 1,185 the year before. This is the second year in a row that prescription drugs have outdone illegal drug as the leading cause of death. There were nearly three times the number of deaths in Florida from oxycodone as compared to cocaine."

The statistics are heartbreaking to say the least...
"Every day in the US, 2,500 youth (12 to 17) abuse a prescription pain reliever for the first time.
Prescription drug abuse, while most prevalent in the US, is a problem in many areas around the world including Europe, Southern Africa and South Asia. In the US alone, more than 15 million people abuse prescription drugs, more than the combined number who reported abusing cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants and heroin.
In 2006 in the United States, 2.6 million people abused prescription drugs for the first time.
A 2007 survey in the US found that 3.3% of 12- to 17-year-olds and 6% of 17- to 25-year-olds had abused prescription drugs in the past month.
Prescription drug abuse causes the largest percentage of deaths from drug overdosing. Of the 22,400 drug overdose deaths in the US in 2005, opioid painkillers were the most commonly found drug, accounting for 38.2% of these deaths.
In 2005, 4.4 million teenagers (aged 12 to 17) in the US admitted to taking prescription painkillers, and 2.3 million took a prescription stimulant such as Ritalin. 2.2 million abused over-the-counter drugs such as cough syrup. The average age for first-time users is now 13 to 14.CAUSE OF DEATHS

Combined: 39%
45% (Amphetamine
+ Heroin
+ Methamphetamine
+ Cocaine)Depressants, opioids and antidepressants are responsible for more overdose deaths (45%) than cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and amphetamines (39%) combined. In the United States, the most deaths used to take place in inner cities in African-American neighborhoods, but they have now been overtaken by white rural communities. The same trend can be seen in the rates of hospitalization for substance abuse and emergency hospitalization for overdoses. Of the 1.4 million drug-related emergency room admissions in 2005, 598,542 were associated with abuse of pharmaceuticals alone or with other drugs.
By survey, almost 50% of teens believe that prescription drugs are much safer than illegal street drugs—60% to 70% say that home medicine cabinets are their source of drugs.
According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, teens who abuse prescription drugs are twice as likely to use alcohol, five times more likely to use marijuana, and twelve to twenty times more likely to use illegal street drugs such as heroin, Ecstasy and cocaine than teens who do not abuse prescription drugs."SOURCE: Statistics of Prescription Drug Abuse, Overdosing, Emergency Room Visits
Everything is backwards these days, just as Satan likes it. God is not backwards, we are!!! ...
Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information, religions destroy spirituality, and Bible publishers destroy God's Word.
