4th of July Thoughts

Posted on July 6, 2012 by Christis Joy

It is July the Fourth and my heart is torn between joy and sorrow. I’ve never felt so patriotic, so proud, so grateful to God to be called an American. Nor so frightened- I am “trembling for my country” even as I dance for the joy of our liberties. I am weeping simply because my heart is overwhelmed. I want to eat cake and celebrate for the joy and giddy excitement in my heart but I can’t seem to get it past the lump in my throat. I feel like cheering and mourning, playing and fighting, laughing and weeping, all at once…

One thing I have determined: I am a Christian. I am an American. For me that is not an oxy-moron but a united truth. I am BOTH. I am an American BECAUSE I am a Christian, and to deny America is shirking a huge duty to my Jesus. It is not “either, or” for me but “both”. I am a patriot, I love this land, and BY GOD’S GRACE I am praying to not let the enemy have her without a fight! If America fall I pray it would only be OVER MY DEAD BODY and that God would still resurrect her for HIS glory. But, more than anything, I just pray for revival, for mercy, that this great country might become what she was intended to be all along: a beacon for the Gospel to spread, and a picture of the Kingdom of God to the world!

That is my living sentiment, and, by God’s grace, it will be my dying sentiment! Independence now and independence forever! Give me liberty, or give me death!

In Jesus’ name, amen.

“It’s Been A Long Night…”

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Don Pinson

As my daughter and I met yesterday morning to pray in connection with our National Day of Prayer, a great burden came over me to pray, “Oh God, it’s been a long night.” (I was thinking of His Word in Psalms 30:5, “Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”) I began to weep uncontrollably as in my mind I could see a dark cloud stretching over America all the way back to the early 1900’s. As I wept, I sobbed out over and over the words, “It’s been a long night, O Lord!” Over and over this came pouring out. It was as if I was weeping out a great burden I had carried for years concerning the disintegration of our nation.

But after a while, ever so slightly, I felt deep in my spirit the words, “…but joy comes in the morning.” And certainly Jesus will come to this earth and straighten out all the mess we, as mankind, have made of this world: But the slight comfort I was feeling seemed to me an indication that He yet will work a work in America that turns us back to our Biblical foundations; at least to some degree; or maybe a certain segment of our population. I just know I had a little comfort from Him concerning our land.

May you who are seeking Him for revival with your whole heart, likewise be comforted with these words.

Are You Afraid for America?

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Don Pinson

Do you feel fear for the direction our nation is going? Do the socialistic policies of our national government bring fear of oppression, perhaps imprisonment or death? Let me encourage you that none of this takes the Lord by surprise. Being the Alpha and Omega, He sees the end from the beginning.
