In Kent Clark's sermon, "What Happened To America The Beautiful," the primary theological focus is on the holiness and judgment of God in contrast to the moral decline of society. Clark argues that the increasing wickedness, as seen in Scripture passages like Genesis 6 and Romans 1, reflects humanity's depravity and God's impending judgment. He emphasizes that the church must respond by engaging in civic duties, especially voting, to influence societal morals and resist governmental overreach that seeks to separate faith from public life. This reflects the Reformed doctrine of the sovereignty of God in all aspects of life, including governmental authority. The practical significance is a call for Christians to recognize their responsibility in preserving biblical morals within culture and society, warning that neglecting this duty may lead to dire consequences.
“If the Bible says it, we believe it, because it is God's holy word.”
“The only way you will go to heaven is because Christ was judged in your stead, in your room, and in your place.”
“It may come as a shock to some of you, but God is not the mascot of the Republican Party.”
“The worst judgment is for God not to speak to us.”
