We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Will you give your hours to fantasizing about and dwelling on and longing for the vile things that nailed the Lover of your soul to the cursed tree?
Kris Lundgaard

Why are we experiencing such an epidemic of open- and not-so-open- sin in the church today?… [Because] we have promoted a “gospel” that says it is possible to be a Christian while stubbornly refusing to address practices or behaviors we know are sinful. We have accepted the philosophy that it’s OK for Christians to look, think, act, and talk like the world. We have made it an offense to admonish people about their sin, either privately or, when necessary, publicly. If only we were as loath to commit sin as we are to confront it!
Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Is Today your “Independence Day” ?

Listen to our declaration
Listen to our testament
We've been given a revelation

We are sure of where we stand
So let the banner be unfurled
We've found the light of hope in a dying world

Hear the myth of modern man
You're the god of your own land
They call you weak a spineless fool
Say you've given up your right to rule

But I have been to the land of me
And I know I was never free
Freedom came when I gave it all away

That's why I call it independence day
Call it independence day
Let the rockets blaze across the sky
Raise the flag of faith up high
Let the doubters call it what they may
It's independence day

The world can crown another hundred kings
But I believe in better dreams
They may call it slavery
But the biggest chain I knew was me

So the idols tumble down
The walls of lies crumble to the ground
I know where salvation can be found
Let the idols tumble down

That's why I call it independence day
Call it independence day
Let the rockets blaze across the sky
Raise the flag of faith up high
Let the doubters call it what they may
It's independence day

So join in the celebration
It's the birth of a holy nation
As people of light we are proud to say
It's independence day

That's why I call it independence day
Call it independence day
Let the rockets blaze across the sky
Raise the flag of faith up high
Let the doubters call it what they may
It's independence day
