The Gift of Independence
Our founding fathers said NO to the tyranny of an oppressive government and king. They demanded the right to live, worship, and govern themselves with benevolent, democratic leadership, and for a republic under God which would grant liberty for all. That declaration was paid for with blood, sweat, and tears.
|
One day God offered us freedom from the tyranny of sin. He offered us a Savior, Jesus, who bought our spiritual freedom with his own blood, sweat, and tears. All we had to do was repent and believe the Good News through Jesus Christ. Perhaps the Body of Christ in America needs to repent of not being bold enough in our witness, and too tolerant of ungodliness, so that we would hear from heaven and God would heal our land.
|
|
As we give thanks for our freedoms, let us also pray for a spiritual renewal in America so that we can keep our freedoms. Socialism, Marxism, and Communism are godless systems of government. Combine that with secularism, and you have a pathway to destruction. The battle is more spiritual than political. Let us celebrate and let us pray!
