Good morning, and a happy Independence Day! Today we celebrate the gaining of our independence as a nation. What have we done with that independence? Looking around we see much good and bad; our major media outlets do not always report the good and seem to delight in bringing us bad news. The Good News is our responsibility. Jesus told us to take that Good News to the farthest corners of the globe, and we are indeed doing just that. You may wonder how you are doing that working each day at the same place, seldom leaving your town, and going to the same church. While the opportunity to spread the Good News exists in every town and neighborhood, just supporting your church with tithes is a good way to help spread that Good News. Television and cable stations carry ministers and evangelists throughout the world every day. Letters come to them from such unlikely places as Saudi Arabia and the Sudan, speaking of how great it is to be able to receive the Word. Children can go to summer camps to listen to the Word through our financial support. Churches remain solvent through our giving. Yes, there is much that we can do by working at that job that we have; independence is in our hearts through Christ Jesus, our Lord. Teamwork in the family of Christ is our greatest asset in spreading the Good News; that is why Paul told us that everyone has their place in the body of Christ. Is it not great to belong to that family?
Let the glory of the Lord shine in our Christian family!
