Christians-Today Ministry

Wow, the Fourth of July is already upon us! Seems like I was just posting about Memorial Day. It sure is a shame how quickly time flies when you least expect it. I didn’t mean to be away from this ministry for over a month, but I have been working on a Children’s ministry and some of my other websites, that I just lost track of the time. Please forgive me for that.

Anyway, the Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, Is one of the United States of America’s most important holidays. In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed, making this a free nation. We were no longer under the King’s rule, but had the freedom to govern ourselves independently.

Here is Wikipedia’s definition of Independence Day:

In the United States, Independence Day commonly known as the Fourth of July is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Congress approved the wording of the Declaration on July 4 and then sent it to the printer. Whether John Hancock, as the elected President of the Second Continental Congress, or anyone else signed the document that day is unknown, because that document has been lost — presumably destroyed in the printing process.^[1] On August 2 in the following month, an engrossed document^[2] was signed by Hancock and other delegates.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, picnics, baseball games, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States, but is often also viewed as simply a summer festival, apart from its patriotic overtones.

The United States of America is a strong nation that was founded on Christianity and freedom. We are a nation that stands proud and will fight to preserve that freedom at all costs. With that being said, it is no wonder that it is the American Eagle that is our national symbol. How much do you actually know about the eagle?

It states in Isaiah 40:31(NIV):

But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

You see, the eagle is a mighty creature and durable by nature. In fact, the eagle has qualities that we need in our daily walk with Christ. For example: How the eagle trains its young, how they don’t move from partner to partner because they mate for life, and eagles have a legendary boldness and tenacity. The eagle is strong and not fearful and I believe that all Christian Americans should possess these same qualities in order to walk the righteous path that God has laid before our feet.

So Happy 4th of July and May God Bless America!!
