Are Broken Covenants Shaping America's Fate?

Ricki Bradshaw raises critical questions about the church's role in societal decline and the need for repentance. He suggests that the widespread departure of young people from the church after age 18 may be a consequence of broken covenants with God, where the church has failed to obey His commands. Drawing parallels to the Civil War era, Bradshaw argues that great revivals are often preceded by divine judgment, as God allows difficulties to humble His people and draw their attention back to Him. He cites how Abraham Lincoln called for a national day of humility and consecration during the war, which Bradshaw believes played a role in the North's eventual victory after initially struggling. Bradshaw challenges the modern church to examine areas where it has drifted from its "first love" and to humble itself through repentance and obedience, just as God required of the Israelites before allowing them to possess the Promised Land.
