On this Independence Day weekend, there is much to celebrate – and contemplate. As I speak in churches regularly, I meet people who are very concerned about the direction of our country – both morally and politically. The number one thing that gives me reason to celebrate is that Christians do care about our country, and they are not giving up on America.

Pray for our nation, our leaders (spiritual and political). Pray for revival. [II Chronicles 7:14]

As our country celebrates 235 years of independence, please take time to reflect upon the freedom that is available in Christ.
