July is the month of the year that we celebrate the independence of our great nation. The United States of America gained its independence from foreign British rule back in 1776, with July 4 being designated as the birthday. A whole lot has happened since that historic time. America has grown in both geographic size as well as population. As we know from our history lessons, some of that population was already present in America, and are identified as being Native American. It has been a great struggle as well as a great privilege for the pioneer immigrants, along with the Native Americans, to be the people God has used to make American a nation for Himself. I have no doubt whatsoever that God ordained the establishment and growth of America, and God has used it to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. Not since the time our Lord Jesus Christ sent His apostles and disciples out to the world to start building His Church in our world has any other nation provided so much in that effort of evangelism and ministry. America has led the way in the world of missionaries and in sharing the Gospel of Salvation with a lost world. And that is why God has blessed America. A large population of God’s people still live here in America, and so it is still God’s nation; and will be God’s nation until He decides otherwise. Our responsibility as His people is to continue to “humble ourselves, and pray, and seek His Face, and turn from our sinful ways.” Then, we know that we will continue to receive His great promise: “He will hear from Heaven, will forgive our sins, and will heal our land.” I know you join with me in our continuing prayer of worship and thanksgiving to God our Heavenly Father. In Christ’s Love, Brother Jimmy
