In the last two weeks we have seen decades of bad laws reversed

Our 2nd amendment rights were protected

Abortion laws were overturned

Prayer in school was protected

I heard it referred to as a month of horrors but I believe it was a month of celebration

However, our country still has a long way to go to get back to God

Happy Independence day weekend!

Our great country was founded based on the freedom of Religion

Way back in the old testament, God showed a nation that it could only survive if it followed the Law

That law we know as the 10 commandments

Our very own country’s laws were originally based in the 10 commandments

Today, I want us to look at the most important way we can serve God and Country

We call this the Great Commandment

Love God and Love your neighbor

The first thing we all have to do for God and for Country is Love God with all our everything

How is this going to be good for serving our country?

If you love God with all that you have, you will walk with Him and He will direct your path

If God directs your path you will live the love of God and not get caught up in all the division

The biggest problem we have as a Nation is not all the division among the lost but among the saved

God’s people need to act like God’s people and live the love of God

Love your neighbor as yourself means to love like God loves

Jesus says we respect our Nation and God

We follow the laws of the land in a way that is pleasing to God

Our Nation is a Nation because brave men and women sought freedom to worship

When we think about Independence day it is important to remember why

With all it’s flaws, the United States of America is still the greatest country in the world!

But, always remember our first devotion is not to country but to God

If we truly lived the great commandment and loved God with everything and loved our neighbor as self,

The whole Nation would see how badly they need God

How can you live the great commandment unless you know the one it is about?
