What is the American Dream?

You remember...2.5 kids, dog, wife / husband, nice house and good job. Today I was talking to my friend Al Serna and he asked me the question "What is the American Dream?" and I gave him my answer. Then he said this that kind of left me thinking....."GOD IS CHANGING THE AMERICAN DREAM!"

I mean seriously.....the housing market crash, banks are failing, the govt. has decided to define marriage (vote yes on prop. 8). I honestly think that Al is right. I beleive GOD's desire right now is to not only shake up the country but to wake up the church. Please understand something I am not one of those who beleive the the United States is God's Sovereign land (thanks Isreal!!) but I do beleive that as a country we were founded on "biblical principles and morals" and that our nation and culture has changed so drastically over the 45 years that the country has decided there is no room for GOD.

At what point is the church going to wake up, going to not pray but intercede, when are pastors going to see sin for what it is....SIN and not pussyfoot around it becuase "It may make someone uncomfortable". These are just a few small things.

For this reason it says, "Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead...." Ephesians 5:14
