Pastor Daniel Batarseh addresses the spiritual root of America's current instability, arguing that social and political reforms are only temporary fixes. He posits that the fear of the Lord is the essential 'key' that unlocks national righteousness, justice, and lasting stability.

• 1The fear of the Lord is the essential foundation for any lasting national justice, righteousness, and stability.
• 2Moral confusion and 'futile thinking' are the natural consequences of a nation choosing not to honor or thank God as the Creator.
• 3Fearing God involves a conscious awareness of His presence that influences every decision and action.
• 4Corruption in leadership is a symptom of a lack of fear of God; leaders must realize they are accountable to the ultimate Judge.
• 5National revival cannot happen in the streets until a revival of the fear of God happens in the Church.
