For look! The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.  If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do? Psalm 11:2-3

There is no question there is a multifaceted all out strategic attack being launched against the truth of God's word in all spheres of society through people who have rejected God and His Word. From Common Core in the education realm, to an attack on God's family design from Hollywood and organizations like GLADD, to ObamaCare which is decimating not only healthcare but has also affected the relgious sphere, family, business and government spheres of society.  For a nation whose foundation was so grounded upon God's word and His principles in its conception this is disastrous.  The fruit of our wars, economy, disease, crime etc. all reflect the warnings described in the Pentateuch.  These are ancient truths.

It's like the principle of gravity.  It's not the fall that hurts.  It is the sudden stop the body experiences when flesh encounters something that's existed much longer than it.  It  is the earth that has been here since creation.  Our nation is on a crash course with eternal truth and it is time to brace for impact. 

Eternal spiritual truths are just that : eternal truths.  If you ignore them eventually you will run into the truth and the encounter with the truth can be disastrous.   Respect God's word and you can enjoy the benefits.  Reject God's word and you can enjoy  the results of your choice.  

Our nation became the most prosperous nation in the world because Biblical principles from the foundation of God's word were so integrated in the formation of our government and its judicial system.  One thing to note is that no system of government works unless there are men of character to oversee it.  I don't care if we are talking about democracy, a republic, socialism, communism or a dictatorship.  All will fail without character.  The character is the foundation of a man's soul.  

Without going into the reason why nor attempting to assign blame I'll just acknowledge that there are wicked men (women) in some of the highest offices of our nation.  I emphasize wicked because one of the meanings of that word is twisted.  Their thinking is twisted therefore their logic is twisted and there are consequences associated with implementing unrighteous laws and policies.  I.e. see 1st and 2nd Kings and do a study on the kings who "causes Israel to sin." 

So the question is; if the foundations are destroyed, "what can the righteous do?" 

Satan launched an all out campaign to undermine the fear of the Lord.  How?  I'm glad you asked.  

The key is to undermine the truth that God is the Creator.  When you get rid of the truth that there is a Creator then you have undermined that fact that there is "divine design."  When you undermine divine design then the truth that everyone is created with a purpose is attacked.  When purpose is destroyed then accountability is torpedoed.  Accountability means the responsibilty to answer for your choices.  When you destroy the concept of everyone giving an account for their life before an eternal God, then you have dismantled the fear of God.  Psalm 111:10 and Proverbs 9:10 teach us that the fear of the Lord is the begining of wisdom. 

There is lots of talk in the body of Christ today saying there is no need for fear because fear drives you away and does not draw you near.  That's not totally true.  There are two kinds of fear.  Matthew 25 and Luke 19 Jesus illustrates the kind of fear that drives a wedge between the servant and his master.  You remember the parable.  Three servants were given some money.  Two invested and recieved a return while one servant hid their talent out of fear.  That kind of fear that provoked inaction and missed the mark actually contributed to the seperation between the master and his servant.  (The introduction was inspired as I listend to Bill Johnson teach on "Dealing with Sexual Sin in the Church.")

There is another kind of fear based on reverence, love, respect and awe. Its the kind of fear that is found in a healthy relationship with a parent or a spouse. It is a recognition of the consequences possible through trust being violated.  This kind of fear actually facilitates intimacy and draws us near.  

Campaigns are a series of battles.  Here are a few battles I'd like to highlight to illustrate the effects of Satan's strategy with the hope that it will inspire you to engage in God's divine plan for your life.  Let's start with Satan's attack on accountability.  I like to think of it as account-ability or as, do you have the ability to count?  

If you are wondering if I was using a word play you are correct.  Do you have the ability to make a difference?  You can if you are honest and can count numerically. This is how you can introduce accountability (a count ability).   

We need "strong men" today more than ever before in the body of Christ.  Just before he dies King David tells his son Solomon how he can prove himself a man. This gives keen insight into the qualities God looks for in a man. 

1 Kings 2:2-3
“I go the way of all the earth; be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man. 3 And keep the charge of the Lord your God:to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;

Jesus likens casting out demons unto a man who contest the encroachment of another man on his property.  It takes a stronger man to overcome one who is bound by demonic oppression.  Jesus said,
