Think America!

By      Quentin Clingerman,     July 3, 2010   

Think America!    Tomorrow is Independence Day here in the USA!   What does that mean for YOU!  How dependent are you on the State?   How free do you feel?   How dependent are you on God?   What is at stake?

What is freedom?   In your national life?   In your social life?   In your personal life?

Our government in attempting to give us more security may have taken away so much of our independence that we would not survive without the government "handouts"??   Think of the pioneers: those who came over here from across the seas and colonized this nation!  Think of those who traversed this land to settle it without a government guarantee of anything!  Think of the hardship, sacrifice, but also shear determination and sense of freedom and independence!  That gave them. 

In our desire for security have we given our government too much power and control over us?  What will it mean to our children and grandchildren and future generations? 

To change the focus:  What does freedom in Christ mean?   How are you free in Him?  What does freedom and dependence on God have in common?  And what does that mean for your relationship with the State?

Think America!
