Renewing the Soul of
America
A CALL TO ACTION
Dear Concerned
American Christian:
The restoration of our
moral and spiritual foundations is America's ONLY
hope! If this sounds blunt, then so be it. It is time
to tell the truth. SAVE AMERICA Ministries
was established for the purpose of bringing to a halt
the decadent slide of our nation from its moral and
spiritual foundations and to restore and rebuild those
foundations. But morals cannot be restored without
restoring their spiritual underpinnings. Holiness
in the Church House will bring wholeness to the White
House.
AMERICA'S HEART MUST TURN
As Founder of SAVE AMERICA I am committed to
and charged with stirring the soul of America. We
must renew our minds and thinking as Americans that
our hearts might be turned back to truth, integrity,
a moral base, and God's authority. That is, indeed,
a tall order. None of us can do it alone. For that
reason, I am encouraging you and other Americans of
similar mind and heart to join with me as "ambassadors"
- carriers of this message in your homes, families,
civic groups, churches, work places, and schools...from
the Kingdom of God to citizens of a nation in sore
distress.
NO COMMON SENSE
We Americans have become increasingly anesthetized
to the erosion of values. The problem has now become
severe. There just seems to be no "common sense",
and the reason is that there is no common "consensus."
Our nation was once known as a "Christian" nation.
A Christian consensus prevailed throughout the land.
While not everyone was a Christian, there was nearly
total acceptance of the principles of the Bible as
the foundation for life and society. That consensus
has been severed by cultural drift, by historical
revisionism, and by spiritual rebellion. Chaos now
reigns where Christ once ruled. Now every man does
that which is right in his own eyes. Lawlessness prevails.
THE ROOT ISSUE
There are many fine organizations throughout America
carrying a message that we need to return to "traditional
values." Their message is, for the most part, focused
on "Culture War" issues such as family, abortion,
homosexuality, and protection of religious rights,
etc. Most of these problems, however, are symptoms
of the root problem. SAVE AMERICA, on the other
hand, has been formed to speak to the root issue -
the need to restore our moral and spiritual foundation.
Returning to the authority of the Bible, faith in
God and the Lordship of Jesus Christ, is America's
only hope. That will require massive spiritual revival
in the Church which will birth attitudes of reconciliation
and acts of righteousness. The early colonists cried,
"No King but Jesus." Today we cry, "Any King but Jesus."
Jesus may be Savior, but SELF has become "king."
A "TRUTH" QUAKE
We could compare our current dilemma to that of a
great earthquake. There is usually only one earthquake,
but there are many aftershocks. What we have experienced
in our nation is a great earthquake... a "truth" quake.
We have lost our love for and foundation of truth.
Everyone is doing that which is right in his own eyes.
For that reason, we are reaping the consequences throughout
our society of numerous "aftershocks" - lack of leadership;
lack of direction; family breakdown; abortion; disloyalty;
insurgence of gangs as surrogate families; massive
personal and national debt; and a soaring crime rate.
These are not the primary issues. They are the after
shocks.
CAN AMERICA BE SAVED?
SAVE AMERICA is a catalyst in drawing together
the efforts of our families, our churches, and the
other fine organizations that are speaking to the
"aftershock" problems so that we can present a unified
front to restore our moral and spiritual base. It
can be done. The question is, "How can it be done?"
The first step is to recognize the true problem or
disease. It is moral decay and spiritual drift. A
Lordship "crisis" in the church has produced an authority
crisis in the nation. The secular and humanist mind-set
has so infiltrated our society that it has gained
a stronghold even in our churches - the "lighthouse"
of our society. We must renew the mind of America
in our churches and in our own individual spiritual
lives. Our hearts will then turn that we might again
be eligible to receive the blessings God has for those
who will follow and obey Him. God states in His Word,
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." This is
also true of a nation. As a nation thinks in its heart,
so is it. If we are to be transformed as a nation,
our minds must be renewed. Changed minds lead to changed
hearts. America will not change until the hearts of
We the People change.
THE METHOD
Talk radio is the premier tool of our time for effectively
communicating ideas. It is at the heart of the SAVE
AMERICA effort. It enables the message to be "massaged"
frequently and cost effectively on traditional stations
and the Internet. It enables us to penetrate the heart
and mind of America, renewing a moral and spiritual
viewpoint that will restore national vision and purpose.
It enables us to lay the foundations for revival,
beginning with the "house of God." Before we can clean
up the White House, God must clean up the Church House.
For that reason, the air waves must be redeemed to
bring revival and repentance to those who profess
the name of the Lord. Our VIEWPOINT broadcast
has been delivered daily for nearly eight years, but
now must expand due to increasingly urgent times both
nationally and internationally. Time is running out
as we race toward history's final hour.
NO LONGER INTIMIDATED TO SILENCE
We must disclose our solidarity in a call for spiritual
revival. We must cooperate with God's grief in the
Church House before He can deal with our grief in
the White House or School House. We must speak! Political
correctness is "out" - truth is "in". We can no longer
be intimidated to silence! We must stand shoulder
to shoulder in public acknowledgment of our commitment
to restore righteousness in our land beginning at
the house of God. We must become agents of personal
and national healing and ambassadors of righteousness.
Air time must be sacrificially released, funded, and
placed on the altar as a sacred trust for the delivery
of heart-rending truth without expectation of financial
return.
PREPARING FOR THE SECOND COMING
America's divine destiny was to disciple the nations.
SAVE AMERICA Ministries is discipling the nation
for destiny. We are "preparing the way of the Lord"
for history's final hour. Without holiness the nation
will have no wholeness to fulfill her destiny, and
"without holiness, no man shall see the Lord."
A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
The message SAVE AMERICA brings at this
moment in our nation's history is critical. It is
a prophetic message of hope but also of warning. We
have been given a brief window of opportunity to repent...to
submit to God and His ways as the foundation for our
lives both individually and as a nation. There has
never been a more critical hour in our nation. If
we fail to act NOW, there will not be another
opportunity! Renewing
the Soul of America is our most urgent need.
AMERICA'S DESTINY IS IN YOUR HANDS
Remember, America's destiny is in your hands and mine.
This is the moment of truth. It is the hour of decision.
The opportunity and challenge is great, but the time
is short! Without you it cannot happen...but...Together,
in cooperation with God's Spirit and in conformity
to His conditions, God, by His grace, may yet Preserve
Us A Nation to accomplish His purposes. Can America
count on you? Can God? Where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also.
Yours for
a Revived Church
A Restored Nation,
and a Prepared Bride,
CHARLES
CRISMIER III
