July 4
How much longer will we be celebrating the Fourth of July? Of course, patriotic Americans will hold the day sacred for as long as they live. How long will patriotic Americans live—at least—live life as we know it now?
Foreign governments are buying our land. Our industries are moving their production to foreign shores. Foreign governments are influencing our textbooks and our schools, including institutions of higher learning, by their financial contributions which are given in exchange for the prerogative of influencing what is printed in our textbooks and what is taught in our classrooms.
The Word of God tells us that “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people He has chosen for His own inheritance” Psalm 33:12. It also says in verse 18 of that same Psalm, “Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy.”
How long will our nation, the richest, most blessed land that has ever existed continue as not only prosperous but free? How much of our selfhood can we sell or barter away in exchange for loans that are a bandaid on our hemorrhaging debt? The answer is that until we fear God again and hope in His mercy, we will be the victims of our abandonment of Him.
