A Letter to America

America today is deeply divided and filled with uncertainty. Some say that even a palpable sense of malaise has settled over her people. Our leaders are weak and feckless, and all too often appear to cater only to their own interests rather than even listen their constituents. America's strength and influence are steadily fading, and our nation is growing increasingly divided. Could it really be that America’s best days are behind her? Early in America’s history, Alexander de Tocqueville wrote, “America is great because Americans are good.” If America’s greatness is fading, could it be that something has happened to her people’s goodness? And if America is in permanent decline, will we accept that fate without a fight? In 755 BC, the prophet Hosea was called to deliver a message to another nation in decline, the Northern Kingdom of Israel. But what would Hosea say if he had been sent to modern-day America instead? And if he had been sent to us instead of Israel, would we be receptive to his message or scorn him as Israel once did? Are we prepared to honestly look at what has happened – and what is happening – to our great country? Are we prepared to examine the heart of our beloved nation and diagnose the disease that is stealing away her life?
