You need to get New Jerusalem. Also getting ahold of Furnace of God's Wrath for your offense will help it out also.

There isn't much advice we can offer unless we know your card pool.

Heres a few tips just from what I can see here:
First I feel that your deck is out of proportion (14 GE but only 7 GC) Try this article from Holders' Hero's.
http://www.holdersheroes.com/index.php/the_rule_of_sevens?blog=3 (http://www.holdersheroes.com/index.php/the_rule_of_sevens?blog=3)
Actually If you have time I would read almost all the articles on there as most of them offer a lot of insight into the game.
Next you have no artifacts in the deck. This is a problem in my mind as artifacts are one of the strongest card types (IMO) in the game. go through your cards and see what artifacts you have good ones include Holy Grail, Holy of Holies, Golden Calf, Three Nails, Burial Shroud, etc.
Finally you should work on compiling a set of deck "Staples" through either trading or opening packs.
Staples include some cards mentioned earlier - Guardian of Your Souls, Destruction of Nehustan and other extremely powerful cards.
A discussion on "Staples" can be found here:

I hope that helps.
In Him,

Additionally after going back over the deck It looks to me that you only have 49 cards... That might be a small problem. also it looks like you pulled two starter decks together E and H (gold offense, black defense.) Typically starter decks are less powerful when meddled with.

Here's a recipe for success. :)
Step 1: Get NJ
Step 2: Add it to your deck

There's something I threw together Gold/Black 56 carder. If your lacking GoYS you can add another gold enhancement to replace it (Highway can be nice w/ Furnace of God's Wrath). If you lack the sites necessary for the defense, I'd probably cut it down to 50 cards. If you lack Holy Grail, throw in another Artifact you think might help (a tabernacle one would be nice w/ Eli the Priest). You probably want around an 8-8 character to enhancement ratio on offense and defense to start out with and work from there. Also, Red is a nice color to throw in with Gold as it has some nice winners, and fits the theme well with 3 solid judges (Jephthah, Jael, and Barak who works very well w/ Deborah).
