   From the Pastor

 

 

“God Bless America!”  We say these words.  We sing these words.  We even make these words a prayer. We know that God has blessed America over and over in the past.  We want Him to bless American now and in the future.  Will God bless America again?

 

Perhaps we should as some have said, turn these words around.  Let us say, “America bless God.”  Let us say these words, sing these words, and even make these words a commitment in prayer.  However, are Americans willing to bless God with their attitudes and actions?

 

It begins with you and me.  It begins with Christians.  Americans need a right example to follow.  So then, how can Christians bless God?  We can humble ourselves before God, pray to God, seek God’s will and turn from our sin.  When Christians do that God will forgive us and heal our land.  Then we can rightfully justify saying, “God bless America!”  (II Chronicles 7:14)

 

Happy 250th Birthday America!
