This Independence Day, I want you to remember something: America started with a group of people who wanted to be independent from tyranny. They wanted to form a nation where they could study, believe, and practice the Word of God as God revealed His Word to them.
Their heart was to have a nation that brought glory to the name of Jesus Christ, and where the gospel of Christ could be propagated. But other nations have made this mistake—and, sad to say, many in America might be on the edge of doing it as well.
They now seek to be independent from God, and really go back to tyranny—back to forms of life and governance that the original founders of this country escaped from.
God, give us the grace. God, give us the sense. God, give us the mercy, Lord, to call out to You one more time and just say, Lord, forgive us.
We want You as the God of our nation and the God of our lives.
It’s time to pray.
