Our pastor’s sermon this past Sunday was in a very similar vein. You can listen here:

For July 4, click on “audio.”
The bottom line of his sermon is that if the country is going to turn around, God is looking at us as Christians to do it. But truly turning around our country is not a political process but a spiritual one. How do we do it? By humbling ourselves, praying and turning from our sins and turning to Him for guidance. (II Chronicles 7:14)
I think it is worth listening to.
Kendall, many thanks for posting this. Wonderful, timely message.
The deacon “proclaims the gospel”. Other folks read it.
