Let's Lead the Parade 06/29/2009
Yesterday we celebrated the anniversary of our great nation in our morning service. This Saturday we celebrate 233 years as an independent nation. Our choir sang "America, Come Home." This is a powerful piece. I am moved every time we sing it. My message was entitled "One Nation Under God, Indivisible!" I think every believer wants America to turn back to God. In Proverbs 14.34 Solomon reminds us that "righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." In light of that verse, it is the responsibility of God's people to live lives that are characterized by righteousness. That requires us to give conscious thought to decisions and actions. If it is true that my life is not about me, but it is all about Him, then I must consciously make my every choice a choice that will glorify Him. If we, as Christians, want America to come back to God, then we must LEAD THE PARADE! CommentsLeave a Reply |
