This sermon concludes a five-week series on God's blessing of America by examining the biblical and historical context of slavery. The preacher argues that while Scripture does not explicitly forbid the institution of slavery, it strictly prohibits man-stealing and enslavement through commands to love neighbors and follow Christ's example of humility. By analyzing historical documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Confederate Constitution, the speaker distinguishes between the sinful origins of the American South and the biblical foundations laid by early separatists and Puritans that led to abolition. The central message emphasizes that true faith results in the abolition of oppression and calls for a modern spiritual revival to address contemporary moral crises.

It is so good to give God all your appreciative attention all day because He is your highest help and hope all the time. Glorify God. Because God is so greatly good! You should praise God all the day long. Because it is so good for you! It's So Good for You to Always Give Glory to God.
