Independence Day

The Fourth of July. Independence Day. A time when we reflect upon history, upon our founding fathers, and a document signed by them.

This country has been, up until this present time, the world’s super power. There has never been a country as great as this one. With it’s opportunities, entrepreneurial spirit, many liberties, and freedoms, it has always been a place where people who suffer from tyranny and oppression in other lands have come to find refuge.

People who have the ability to understand, and not take for granted, know that America did not become the land of the free and home of the brave by accident. Freedom and liberty come with a hefty price. Men bled on battlefields, laying down their lives, families mourning the loss of their sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. The bottom line is, freedom costs.

We are blessed to be citizens of the United States of America, the greatest country on Earth, but the truth is, that the founding fathers of our country were men, mortals, human beings. That, that is built by mortals has it’s beginning, and it also has it’s end. Even now in our nation, we can feel the negative forces at work, that would systematically dismantle every element that has made it the “shining city on a hill” that Ronald Reagan called it.

The sad truth is, is that Earthly kingdoms are not eternal. The mindset of wicked men would endeavor to do away with America’s exceptional-ism, and bring it down to the level of a country where freedom and liberties have not been the rule. We do not want to see this happen in our lifetime or in the lifetime of our children. Time certainly does change things, and not always for the better.

There is one thing that we can know, and that is, a Kingdom that is unchanging. It is a Kingdom were there is liberty, “for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” and freedom, “.. for he that the Son has made free, is free indeed.”

The wonderful thing about this Kingdom is, is that we don’t have to wait until we cross the city limits to become citizens, we become citizens of that Country when we are born again of the water and the Spirit. There are liberties and freedoms that can never be taken away from us, for Jesus said, “no man can pull you out of my hand.” Thank God for liberty and freedom!

We as American citizens must do our part to take back our country from the left leaning ideologists that are bent on destroying it, and at the same time keep a firm grip on the citizenry of that blest eternal Kingdom.
