Pastor and prolific author, Dr. David Jeremiah, in his powerful book titled, "People are asking... Is This the End - Signs of God's Providence in a Disturbing New World," writes that 25 million registered Christian voters failed to vote in the 2012 election.  He cautions that, "if we do not act soon, it may be too late."  Dr. Jeremiah compares our dilemma with that of Martin Niemoller, a pastor in Germany during the Nazi regime.

Niemoller offers this chilling account of apathy among the German populace in the late 1930s and early 1940s.

- "They came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

- Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

- Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

- Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. 

- Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Without sounding melodramatic, this is what I see today in America.  Many are grousing to their "friends and families" about the direction of the country, but are fearful or apathetic about speaking out publicly.  It is not the "like-thinkers" that we must speak out to and educate; it is those who have fallen off the train of values, morals, convictions, and into apostasy.  

Dr. Jeremiah encourages his readers to seek and pray for a national revival - not a revival of our infrastructure but for a revival of our values and faith.

Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and believers without denomination must be heard.  It is not a time for weakness, laissez faire attitudes, and apathy; it is a time to stand our ground against attempts to undermine what America has always stood for, unvetted illegal immigration, drug abuse, abortion, radical Islam, and liberal bias relative to the interpretation of the Constitution that has caused us to drift far from the country the Founders envisioned.

Dr. Jeremiah reminds us from 2 Chronicles 7:14 that, "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land (emphasis added).
