We are the covenant bride of Christ yet we have courted multiple love affairs with the wickedness of our culture. Biblical authors throughout Scripture describe the betrayal of idolatry as spiritual adultery.

It is a plea for the believers in our nation to stop playing the whore and return to our first Love.
