Here's a thought for Thanksgiving: John Witherspoon, the only pastor to sign our Declaration of Independence, preached on the first Thanksgiving Day that, “a republic... must either preserve its virtue or lose its liberty.” Liberty apart from virtue leads to anarchy that is then restrained by totalitarianism. Let us thank God for both liberty and the virtuous living that preserves it in freedom.
Pray that the leaders of our country will regain virtuous living and will seek God's guidance instead of man's. We already see our country moving closer and closer to losing the freedoms so many of our country men and woemen have died for. Let's not allow our leaders to forget where our blessings come from.
