It is July and our nation celebrates its independence this month. I love the fireworks, cookouts and family fun associated with the Fourth of July as much as anyone. I just want to take a minute to reflect on another thought.
As our country celebrates independence don't forget to celebrate your dependence. As a Christian we recognize our dependence on Christ. We are not saved because we are smarter, prettier or better than anyone else. We are saved because of what He did for us. Without his love, mercy and sacrifice we could not know the joy of relationship with our Father. We are dependent on Him. The Bible says, He gives help to the needy, strength to the weak, the power to get wealth and every good and perfect gift comes from him. We depend on Him for salvation, health, wealth, joy, really each breath we breathe is a gift from Him.
Happy Dependence Day!
Pastor Chris
