Richard Land on the Nation's Spiritual Crisis: 'If America Dies, She'll Die From Self-Inflicted Wounds

Richard Land, president of The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, told the audience at "Under God: Indivisible" that America is "at a fork in the road."

Rather than facing a choice between going left or right, Land said that America is weighing a decision that will lead her to take an upward or a downward trajectory.

"If America dies, she'll die from self-inflicted wounds," he opened the speech, with the audience reluctantly agreeing. "We face a far greater peril from our own immorality and our own adultery than we ever faced from the British army or the German air force of the Japanese navy or the Soviet missile command."

Land told the audience that the future of America depends upon "what the saved people do." It is Christians, he said, who hold the responsibility to set the dangerous course the nation is taking back on track.

"[We face] a Titanic struggle between those who want to remake America and those who want to restore America," Land continued. "There are some forks -- once they're taken, you can't go back."

The audience cheered his message on, as land reiterated the need for Christians to step up to the plate.
