Independence Day
The day that we won freedom from our British oppressors. We became the United States of America.
Many fought and died that day. They died for a dream; they died for a cause.
God blessed us with the victory so we could have our own country, our own government, one nation, under God...
Freedom.
Freedom is a precious thing, a gift, a gift from God.
A long time ago, God raised up a man to free His people. That man was Moses; the people were the Israelites.
God just wanted the people to follow Him. He promised to take care of them and feed them every day.
God was visible to them in the form of a cloud during the day and a column of fire at night.
All they had to do was follow God and He would take of them...
but they didn't make it. They angered God with their fussing, bellyaching, and threatenings.
They never made it.
We have freedom. We have the same deal - follow God and He will take care of us.
So how are we doing with it, 235 years later?
The so-called "right wing" is politically obsessed,
but where is their god?
Everybody is depressed;
where is their freedom?
People are hard pressed to darken the door of a "church" once a week,
only to just sit there, and, somehow, that is "serving God".
People fuss, bellyache, and threaten.
Is God happy with us?
Are we going to make it?
