The philosophies and reasoning of the Enlightenment and humanistic philosophy have battered the shores of the United States since the time of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine.

Each time it began to take root a fresh spiritual awakening rose against the movement. The last eighty years have not gone well for this nation that was founded in covenant with Almighty God.

The Pentecostal outpouring of 20th century began to lose strength in the 1940\u2019s and higher criticism began to grow in the seminaries and Bible colleges of the nation questioning the infallibility of the Holy Bible.

The Jesus People Movement and Charismatic Renewal brought a new wave of life and spiritual awakening in the 1960\u2019s and \u201870\u2019s.

It too began to fade away in the mid 1980\u2019s.

There have been outbursts over the last twenty years, like the Toronto Airport, or in Brownsville, Florida, and the Billy Graham Crusade in Portland, Oregon.

None of them impacted the nation or changed the culture.

Post-modernism began to sweep across the United States in the 1960\u2019s, and by the 1990\u2019s America began to embrace a post-Christian philosophy.

During these years of embracing post-modernism the United States broke covenant with Almighty God.

• The youth and adults of America have a love affair with the demonic in movies, novels, and music while at the same time Jesus Christ is mocked and ridiculed.

January 20, 2019 was a tragic day for the United States.

Tony Marco of CNN reported on January 23, 2019\xa0in an article titled, New York Puts New Measure to Protect Access to Abortion Even if Roe v. Wade is Overturned, \u201cNot only will the law preserve access to abortions, it also removes abortion from the state's criminal code. This would protect doctors or medical professionals who perform abortions from criminal prosecution. The law also now allows medical professionals who are not doctors to perform abortions in New York\u2026 The law also addresses late-term abortions. Under New York's Reproductive Health Act, they can be performed after 24 weeks if the fetus is not viable or when necessary to protect the life of the mother.\u201d
