GOD BLESS AMERICA

On this July 4th we are brought into the stark realization that Democracy is a fragile gift. Our founding fathers told us this by saying that this form of government required a population of people of goodwill toward one another and honorable intent.

Because we are a people of goodwill, it has been possible time and time again to turn the other cheek until a major and, I must say, unmistakable attack galvanizes this “laid back” nation to turn and look violent situations squarely in the eye.

It was like that in the Second World War. We hung back until there was a direct attack on Pearl Harbor.

Such attacks haven’t all been from without. We have been undermined from within also. It just seems as though we haven’t because we have never seen such internal attacks as clearly as we see them now. Always we are slow to respond because it seems so illogical. But the enemy isn’t using logic. The enemy is using the same part of us that is used in addictions – our emotions –and we all know how unstable these are.

The Turning

But help is coming from the very area the enemy was in the process of staking his flag of victory into: our grade schools. Guess who is raising up against the indoctrination of the children: moms and dads. If we must start with the youngest and their defenders, then so be it. May God help America, and may we show gumption enough to stand shoulder to shoulder against the indoctrination of our children.

May those in the shops and fields, the churches and the schools, the highways and byways, stand to their feet and cry out unashamedly: GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE.

HAPPY 4th of JULY.

We are not having our open prayer meetings at the moment.
