Does Proverbs 11:10-11 Fit Us Today?

Dr. Couch, does Proverbs 11:10-11 fit us today?   ANSWER:  While the verses are speaking about a city, the principles certainly have to do with us today as a nation. The verses read: When it goes well with the righteous,    the city rejoices. And when the wicked perish, there is the glad    shouting. By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,    but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down. If a nation turns to unrighteousness, it will fail and be judged by the Lord. The people will suffer because of all the sin within its confines. America as a nation is suffering, and this suffering will increase even more. It is no accident. There is a price to pay when a people depart from Him, and from what is right.    One of the advantages of being older is that one can compare the way things used to be. This is not to say that all things were perfect in generations past, but everyone knew what sin was, and what right and wrong was all about. Now, good is called bad, and bad is called good. And we have a generation that is so far from the Lord, in my opinion, there will never be a return to Him again! There is no doubt in my mind that we are now into the apostasy prophesied for the end times. Deception and evil mark worldwide this generation!    Thanks for asking.    Dr. Mal Couch
