Take Heed, America

God used Israel to judge the people who occupied the Promised Land. The land “vomited them out” because of their sin (Lev 18:24). Three types of transgression were particularly heinous. Idolatry, sexual sin (incest and homosexuality), and sacrificing children. For this reason the Lord gave Israel such specific instructions about religious and civil law. He was protecting them from going the way of the Canaanites. Israel eventually fell into all of these sinful practices and the land vomited them out too. The Assyrians and Babylonians dispossessed them. If God judged the Canaanites and his people Israel for these sins, how long will the Lord bear with America as she tramples the grace of God underfoot?
