Patriotism
A convicting look at July 4th as “In Dependence Day,” exploring America’s spiritual roots, the cost of religious liberty, and the call for churches to stand boldly for truth today.
There are those that claim that ours is a sick society, that our government is sick, that our country is sick, that we are rich. Maybe they're right. I submit that I am sick. I am sick of having policemen ridiculed and called pigs, while cop killers are hailed as some kind of folk heroes. I am sick of being told that religion is the opiate of the people, but that marijuana should be legalized. I am sick of commentators and the columnist canonizing anarchists, revolutionist, and criminal rapists but condemning law enforcement when such criminals are brought to justice. I am sick of being told that pornography is the right of a free press. That freedom of the press does not include being able to read the Bible on the school grounds. I am sick of paying more and more taxes to build schools when faculty members encourage students to either tear them down or burn them.
