Can you imagine yourself or your friends in a Worship service celebrating the Declaration of Independence this Sunday July 4th, 2021? What a great way to be inspired. To be in front of a waterfall with a cool breeze from the air conditioning refreshing and restoring you. Just the sense of love and friendship from good people sitting around you will be worth it. The music will really be special this weekend. This 4th of July Sunday we will declare a better future for our country and our world. There will be people from many backgrounds and differing political views joining together to seek a better America.
And it will make a difference as God works his common miracle of unity and teamwork. I am inspired by a statement from Rodney King, a drunk driver who sped to escape the police. His car was stopped, and a few police officer beat him with their batons. After he went to jail the LA riots began. He issued a short statement to the rioters and the police, “Can’t we all just get along?” It was so simple it was almost funny. Even though our nation is very separated after the death of George Floyd, the summer riots, and the divisive election, we can still, as Christians, declare together peace and progress. After all it was Jesus who called us Peacemakers. This Sunday a great pain in your heart will be relieved and your burden will be lightened as we experience God’s miracle of declaring something which does not exist to be our goal. And it will be contagious. We need your help to start a Revolution of Love and Faith. Some call it a revival - I just call it worship.
Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim
