Every now and again I am caught up in awe and wonder over the gift that God has given us in this great country of ours. I am especially amazed that we can freely and without fear gather together to worship and study God's word without having to worry that we will be harmed. We do not have to worry that the government will tell us how to worship or mandate what our theology should be. This is something that is so easy for us to take for granted, but it is really a big deal. What an amazing blessing to be able to do this freely. To be able to talk about our faith without, at least without the fear that normally comes when we talk about our faith.
Most of us will never ever have to see a battle field in our lives. That is because so many brave men and women put on a uniform and go and fight so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we have in our lives. As you get ready to celebrate the 4th this weekend, be sure to thank God for those who serve in our armed forces. Ask him to guide them and protect them. Ask him to send them chaplains to care for them and to share the gospel with them.
We enjoy some amazing freedoms. Thanks be to God. May this 4th be a joyous and blessed celebration for you.
Sincerely,
Pastor CJ
