How shocked Londoners must have been to find out that the subway bombers were one of their own. This was not some radical insurgent force that gained nefarious entry to hatch a plan. This was the British attacking their own. Though Tony Blair may disagree with that analysis it a fact. Though deporting the terrorist organizers will delay its demise, with its current direction, Great Britain is doomed and America needs to learn from what is unfolding or we are seeing into our future.

Like its Father, the US was once dominated by Christians. Also like GB, it is not now, nor has it ever been a Christian nation. Though there were some colonies that were founded with Christian intent, among the most celebrated American forefathers were deist, universalists and outright atheists. But God’s grace was upon its founding as it was upon Britain even after the ceding. Though many have fooled themselves into believing that America still is dominated by Christians, it is not, and it will look just like GB if it does not get radical. Lets look at GB as an example.

Niall Ferguson, British author, historian, and self avowed materialistwrote in the London Telegraph that theirs is not a Christian / muslim battle but instead

the gulf that now exists in this country (is) between a minority of fanatics and a majority of atheists.

He went on to write

There was a time when Europe would justly refer to itself as “Christendom”. . . . They quarrelled bitterly over the distinction between transubstantiation and consubstantiation. As pilgrims, missionaries and conquistadors, they sailed to the four corners of the earth, intent on converting the heathen to the true faith. Now it is we who are the heathens.

The problem is not islam. The problem is the decline of born again, Holy Ghost Christianity. Here are some facts:

. . . barely 20 per cent of West Europeans attend church services at least once a week, compared with 47 per cent of North Americans and 82 per cent of West Africans. Less than half of western Europeans say God is a “very important” part of their lives, as against 83 per cent of Americans and virtually all West Africans. And fully 15 per cent of western Europeans deny that there is any kind of “spirit, God or life force” - seven times the American figure and 15 times the West African.

But even these figures make Britain seem more godly than it really is

in an average week, more Muslims attend a mosque than Anglicans go to church.

That means many of these positive respondents are really deceived.

In a speech at Harvard Niall said

The Americans are the British and the British have become Europeans,” Ferguson said. “Isn’t it lovely - you have become us, even as we have ceased being us.

What he did not say is that the Brazilians are becoming the Americans while the Americans are becoming the British and the British become the Turkish.

What is the answer? Revival of religion in Great Britain. Alas God is not dead in Britain, but oh to see the mother land of Wesley, Whitefield, and so many others shake with the power of God again! How I would love to be there as the Spirit of God is poured out as in the days of the outpourings of Wales.

While God did not cause it, the British need to see the prophetic implications of the Princess Di / Dodi Fayed deaths. The current maritial path is destruction but there is life in Christ Jesus.
