Proverbs 29:1, 2, 18

Introduction: 

**His Truth is Marching On

“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on” (gloria)

1. Because of America’s “GODLY HERITAGE” in the Past! (Prov 29:2)

“2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”

{America was built upon the principles of the Bible by God-fearing men for the purpose of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ- Rom 1:16}

{The puritans left Holland, and England – the Catholic and Anglican Church for the purpose of sailing to America, and establishing a Church separated from the dictates of the State. It was our forefathers’ intention to set up a Government based upon Scriptural teaching that would allow “FREEDOM” to worship the Lord Jesus Christ without the interference of the Gov.}

{Studying Church history after Pentecost until the 17th century, it becomes obvious that the Church – Catholic – had become doctrinally diluted. Then came the reformation.}

{After establishing the early colonies at Plymouth Rock, revivals and a spiritual awakening took place in the 1st and 2nd great awakenings in America. Preachers like Jonathan Edwards, George Whitfield, Finney, Wesley, and others blazed a trail of truth; consequently, Churches sprung up all across the southern part of America. “God’s Truth was Marching On”!}

**His Truth is Marching On

“I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence in the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on”

2. Because of America’s “DIVIDED” Present! (Prov 29:1)

“United we Stand, Divided we fall”

“1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”

“16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.” (Prov 29:16)

** His Truth is Marching On

“In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy let us live to make men free
While God is marching on”

{“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people,” Prov 14:34}

3. Because of America’s “UNSEEN” Future! (Prov 29:18)

“18Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the a Lord,” (Psa 33:12)

** His Truth is Marching On

{Jesus, Paul, Peter, and John all predicted “Times would be Tough” before Jesus comes again…..
Iniquity abounding, Antichrist emerging, Deception prevailing, but Jesus is Coming}

Conclusion: But my dear CHRISTian friend…. 

“Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on, amen, amen”
