Dear Garrett,

Credenda Agenda Vol, 13, Issue 4, Thema=20
<http://www.credenda.org/issues/index.php?issue=3D13-4> which reads in part=
:
"God is not mocked," we are told in Scripture, "whatever a man sows, that=20
shall he also reap." Americans think that this law has somehow been exempted=
in=20
our case; we are somehow different because we are a pluralistic nation. It=20
doesn't matter what you sow here. You can plow the field and sow whatever yo=

come up the same=E2=80=94American pluralism. No, we have embraced a lie, and=
we have=20
mocked God. And because we have mocked God, we must learn how to repent of=20
mocking God.=20
The day of infamy was September 11, and many have told us that it will take=20
its bloody place next to December 7. And it was a day of infamy, but that sa=
me=20
week contained another infamy, far worse in nature, and far more damaging in=
=20
that it was not recognized. That day was the Day of Prayer and Remembrance o=

the following Friday, September 14, when America, in the aftermath of a=20
devasting judgment from the living God, convened a polytheistic worship serv=
