Freedom

As we celebrate July 4th, it is a reminder of our freedom.  America was given grace by God to worship Him and to Honor Him.  But, as we look all around us our freedom to worship is being stripped from us little by little.  The freedom to pray, worship and honor our God is becoming a legacy that America is losing.  America was founded on Godly principles and God’s word was read before each session of the Senate and House meetings.  Today, if you tried to stand up read God’s word in these meetings you would be forced to sit down and shut up.   The 10 Commandments are being removed from every courthouse in America.  Many men and women have lost their lives to fight for the freedom of America.  As the song Here in America says, “You place our hands on His Bible and swear to tell the truth.  In America we’re one Nation under God.  In God, we still trust in America.”  But, yet when we look around us most American’s do not trust in God anymore unless the going gets tough and then it is only for a season until things start going better.  Jesus came and gave his life and shed his blood for each of us that we could be given freedom to worship Him and to place our trust in Him.  Thank God, that I am an American and that I am a Christian, who can stand up and say, “That I am a Child of the King and that He has given me freedom from this world and the things of this world.”  America has allowed religions to come in and bring their pagan gods and their idols, which has defiled America.  As American’s we do not know what is coming but when we look around us we see the judgment of God beginning to fall on America and around the nations.  God is not pouring out this judgment to destroy but that all men would draw nigh unto Him because He is coming soon.  In God’s great mercy and His grace is his outstretched hand reaching out to those who are in darkness and lost and undone without Him.  God has shed His grace on mankind to save them from hell.  Hell is real and our God desires that no not one perish.  My spirit shall not always strive with man (Genesis 6:3) As Christians, let us speak the Word of God with boldness and stand up and Proclaim that Christ is Lord, let us lift our voices and Praise Him for He is worthy of all our Praises.
