Happy Independence Day.
Today, as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we must not lose sight of the values our forefathers dedicated their lives to secure. Without morality, we cannot have freedom.
There is a growing battle for the hearts and minds of the next generation and for the future of our country. And this is not a political battle; it’s a spiritual battle.
We need the moral courage to live as men and women of faith who will not shrink back in this critical moment, but confront the lies and ideas that undermine truth with boldness and love, regardless of our circumstances or the challenges before us.
We must speak the truth with love, live out our faith, and contend for the well-being of our neighbors even when it’s unpopular, because doing what’s popular is political, but doing what’s right is Biblical.
“Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
God chose to put us here, to be in this time and in this place, to be a light for Him. And while we don’t get to choose the times we live in, we do get to choose what we do with the time that has been given to us.
So choose faith. Choose hope. And choose to live courageously for Christ, because if we are passive and silent, we may live in an America where the Fourth of July isn’t a celebration, but a memorial for the rights, freedoms, and values we used to hold.
Pray for America today. Pray that our country would be a nation where God is honored and freedom flourishes, and let’s be a people filled with the hope of the gospel—because our country cannot be saved by a political party, but only by a people who never forget that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
