Welcome to "Current Events and Christian Expectations." In today's episode, we delve into the pressing question: Is God judging America? We kick off with a reading from Matthew 24:29-30 and explore various scriptural references to understand the divine judgment of nations, particularly America.
We discuss prophetic insights, historical events linked to solar eclipses, and scriptural warnings about ignoring God's signs. With examples from history and recent events, we examine how nations, including America, might already be experiencing divine judgment.
Through the lens of Isaiah 19 and other biblical passages, we identify signs of judgment, such as confusion among leaders and societal chaos. We also reflect on the role of Christians in these times, emphasizing the importance of living godly lives and hastening the ultimate revival—the return of Jesus Christ.
Join us as we explore these themes and seek to understand God's expectations for nations and His people. Stay tuned for a thought-provoking discussion that encourages us to keep looking up and living faithfully.

Why the Bible matters...
The apostle John begins his gospel by declaring, “In the beginning was the Word..."
Everything God does begins with His Word. Sometimes it’s a new word that aligns with His revelation in Scripture, and sometimes it is a reminder of His already established Word. But we can be sure that if God is doing something, it will begin with His Word.
It is about reading and comprehending - listening and talking about the Scripture in your own language. People who are literate in a language can not only read in that language, but they can also communicate with others. Raising up biblically literate people means we share and compare our biblical understanding with others in and outside our community of faith. We learn faster and more accurately in community.
If you are learning a new language, the ultimate marker that you are fully fluent is the ability to think and plan your life in that language. We must allow Scripture to transform our minds (Romans 12:2). Once the Bible changes our thinking so that we plan and react according to what God’s Word reveals, we will live a transformed life.
