We just celebrated Independence Day and the wonderful freedoms we have in this country. I want to say, "Thank you God for all the freedoms we still have in this country." We still can go to church freely and openly. We can still buy and read the Bible without being jailed. We can still legally preach the gospel.
I know our freedoms as Christians in this country have begun to be eroded in recent years. But whose fault is that? Is it because we as Christians have failed to stand up? Have we become apathetic? Have we tried to be "politically correct" in our churches? Have we failed to preach the truth of God's Word in our churches, the truth that salvation is only through Jesus Christ? We can stand around and point fingers and say that our freedom is being taken from us, but I think in some cases we have given it up, by our failures.
Again, I must say that I believe there is room for repentance within the church within this country. The Bible says "If MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME." That is us the the church of Jesus Christ.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
We need God to heal our land. What are we going to do about it?
