I just returned from an awesome patriotic worship service at our home church. The men’s choir belted out some inspiring patriotic hymns, a recognition was given to all branches of the military and to those who have served, and the sermon was (as it is frequently) impactful and hit home.
While I am proud to be an American, as a believer in Jesus Christ, my home and true citizenship is in heaven. And it is through repentance, forgiveness and salvation where we find our true freedom.
One quote really hit home for this 4th of July holiday weekend. It was:
“The statue (of Liberty) liberates the citizen.
The cross liberates the soul.”
God bless the United States of America!
