Society has abandoned the Church, which has led to moral decay. Humanity's values have attempted to triumph over God and the Church. The government has made efforts to destroy the core values of what we believe about God and the Church. Constitutional rights have become more prevalent than religious rights. We passed laws that guaranteed secularism. Those values that once held us together as a person, society, and country have taken on a new meaning. We no longer live godly lives as demanded by the word of God.

God no longer lives in some churches. Materialism, drunkard pleasure-seeking, arrogance, conceit, defiance, sinfulness, moral perversion, and corrupt leadership have rejected the word of God, the law of the Lord, and the Holy One Himself. "When a society does not want to hear from God, every man does that which is right in his own eyes and feels that he is the ultimate authority, he becomes the ultimate source of truth" (Judg. 21:25).

Attempts to expel the word of God from society have become a critical issue. It started in the public schools, and has spread to public places, courthouses, coins, the Pledge of Allegiance, and on to where today we are fighting battles about what we can even say in the Church and in public! It is no longer just about the separation of Church and State, but a separation of America from God. Humanity is tearing apart the woven fabric of God's influence on society.
