The President of the United States has never asked God for forgiveness. Our social media mobs never grant it. America seems to have given up on redemption. Some things are no longer considered sins, but the sins that remain have become unforgivable.
In the early 19th century, Americans observed national days of fasting, humiliation and prayer in which they would “confess and bewail manifold sins and transgressions”. Nowadays, when we observe a national day of prayer, we blandly “turn to God in prayer and meditation”. Without becoming more righteous, we no longer feel a need for repentance.
