There’s something happening in America. People feel it in their gut, even if they can’t put words to it. Our country, built on faith, freedom, and family, is being torn apart at the seams. And here’s the truth: this isn’t just politics as usual or some temporary crisis. What we’re seeing is a cultural collapse, an all-out assault on the values that made America great. And whether you see it or not, we’re at a crossroads, maybe the biggest we’ve ever faced.

2 Timothy 3 calls times like these “perilous.” It warns that people will become “lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud,” and so much more. Look around. Does that sound familiar? Self-interest, greed, people tearing each other down, families breaking apart—it’s happening everywhere. This isn’t the America our parents and grandparents fought for. We’re witnessing a culture gone mad, and if we don’t take a stand, we risk losing everything that made this country strong.

Losing Our Moral Compass

The moral compass that once guided us is spinning out of control. We used to be a nation where right and wrong were as clear as day. People worked hard, took care of their families, respected their neighbors, and lived by a set of values that kept society intact. But today? We’re being told there is no right or wrong. Everything is relative, and everyone just does what they want, no matter the consequences.

2 Timothy 3 says people will be “disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy.” We see it in our schools, where respect has become a thing of the past. We see it in our communities, where crime is rising, and people have lost respect for law and order. Kids are growing up without any foundation, no discipline, no guidance. They’re taught to reject authority, despise the past, and chase after whatever feels good in the moment.

This breakdown didn’t just happen overnight. It’s been brewing for decades. Little by little, we allowed our values to be eroded. We’ve given ground at every turn, and now we’re left with a society where people care only for themselves. They’re not interested in building anything that lasts, only in taking what they can get, as fast as they can get it.

The War on Faith

Perhaps the most dangerous assault of all has been on faith itself. Once, this was a nation that believed in God, that valued prayer, that honored the principles laid out in the Bible. But today? There’s a movement to erase faith from every part of our lives. They want it out of our schools, out of our courts, and out of our communities.

2 Timothy 3 warns that people will be “lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.” We see it everywhere. The very idea of sacrificing for something greater than yourself, of placing your trust in God, is seen as outdated or even offensive. We’ve reached a point where standing up for faith isn’t just unpopular—it’s a target. Those who believe in God, who hold to traditional values, are being pushed to the margins, silenced, and canceled.

They say they want tolerance, but their tolerance only goes one way. They preach about acceptance but have no patience for anyone who dares to speak up for faith, for family, for values. This isn’t freedom; it’s control. They want to take away your right to believe, to worship, to live by the values that guided this nation from the beginning.

An Unholy Alliance: Politics, Media, and Big Business

It’s not just happening by chance. There’s an alliance between powerful forces—politicians, media elites, and corporate giants—all pushing the same message. They tell you what to think, what to buy, who to trust. But here’s the truth: they’re not working for you. They’re working for themselves, for their own power, their own profit.

The Bible calls them “lovers of themselves” and “lovers of money.” Look at our leaders in Washington, in boardrooms, in newsrooms. They say they care about you, but their actions tell a different story. Politicians pass laws that hurt American workers while lining their own pockets. Corporations ship jobs overseas while raking in record profits. And the media? They’re the loudest cheerleaders of all, pushing whatever narrative suits their agenda and silencing anyone who dares to ask questions.

We’re supposed to be a government by the people and for the people. But today, it feels more like we’re being governed by a handful of elites who couldn’t care less about the struggles of everyday Americans. They look down on the values we hold dear, the faith we cling to, and the traditions we cherish. And if we don’t speak up, they’ll rewrite America’s future without any of us in it.

The Battle for Our Children

One of the most alarming things about this cultural collapse is the impact it’s having on our kids. They’re growing up in a world where values are flipped upside down. They’re taught in schools that everything is relative, that the past is something to be ashamed of, that there’s no real truth, only opinions.

2 Timothy 3 warns of people “despisers of good.” Our kids are being exposed to violence, to hate, to ideas that tear down instead of build up. They’re told to question everything except the new “truths” handed to them by politicians, corporations, and media talking heads. We’re losing a generation to a system that doesn’t want them to think critically, to value faith, to appreciate what they have. Instead, it wants them to grow up angry, resentful, and entitled.

As parents, grandparents, and leaders, we have a responsibility to stand against this. We can’t sit back and let the world shape our children without a fight. We need to be the ones teaching them what matters, guiding them, protecting them from the lies they’re being fed. This isn’t just about the future of our country; it’s about the future of our families.

The Call to Action

We’ve reached a turning point, and the question is simple: what are we going to do about it? Are we going to sit back and watch as everything we value is dismantled, or are we going to take a stand? Because if we don’t stand up now, we may lose the chance forever.

This isn’t about being silent and hoping for the best. This is about raising our voices, voting with our values, standing up for our beliefs. It’s about making our voices heard in every part of life—at home, at work, in our communities, and at the ballot box. We need leaders who aren’t afraid to defend faith, to fight for freedom, to uphold the principles that built this country. And we need every American to play a part.

The Bible tells us that “in the last days” things will be tough, but it also tells us not to be afraid. We have the power, we have the strength, and we have God on our side. This is America’s last stand, a fight for what truly matters, and we’re not backing down.

Let’s remember that faith, family, and freedom aren’t just words—they’re the foundation of our nation. Let’s rise up, speak out, and refuse to let this culture gone mad define our future. It’s time to reclaim America, one voice, one value, and one vote at a time. This is our moment. Let’s make it count.
