God's Freedom

In the past few days, thanks to our VBS program, my oldest daughter, whose age is still in the single digits, got hooked on the song Alive, by Hillsong - Young & Free.

This song just played on Pandora, hence, now this posts' topic as we prepare to pray for church effectiveness & efficiency.

On this Independence Day weekend, enough has transpired in the past week and a half, that have people thinking they've found freedom. Expressions of true love...that are now acceptable in the name of equality.

While I understand what this community thinks they have found, my heart breaks that many have yet to experience the true freedom found in Christ. Not to mention the fact, that through the power of the Cross and our coming to accept that He died in our place, we are now joint heirs with Christ; they are missing true equality!

God sees those who have accepted Christ as Savior as sons and daughters. God does not have grandchildren, but grand children!

"You are alive in me; Your love has set us free." is how the lyrics to Alive sing forth.

For all the preparation that has gone into a holiday weekend service that revolves around the greatness of America, the freedoms we enjoy as a result for those who fought on our behalf; pray that people would come to recognize Christ as defender of the soul, standing in the gap so that souls may experience the freedom God intended for us. Freedom from sin, from condemnation, from bondage, addictions, the horrible past of us all, that we would give anything if it could be forgotten and forgiven...only One can fulfill that desire.

Pray that becomes a reality for those who seek a freedom they've yet to experience in these great, United States of America.

God Bless You & God Bless America.
