As we come to another Fourth of July weekend it is worth asking: “What is it that made America unique and great?” The truth is the founding fathers were Christians (half of them even had seminary or Bible college degrees) who took seriously the Scriptures and wanted to form a nation based on biblical principles where people could be free to worship without anyone forcing them to pick one denomination or another.

You might be saying, “Wait a minute, Clay. That’s not what I’ve been taught. I thought that many of the founding fathers were irreligious and they formed our constitution based solely and human wisdom and political philosophy.”

I hope you will hear my message this week, “The Truth About America,” because I will prove to you that our kids, by and large, are being taught lies about the founding of our country in the public schools today. It’s important that we set the record straight. Especially as we see our country going into decline in many ways. Because we have tried to take God out of public life we are becoming great in categories where we should be weak and at the same time becoming weak in categories where we should be (and once were) great!

I’m going to kick off the message with a video I made recently on the Island of Patmos where the disciple John was held prisoner for his faith and where he wrote the book of Revelation. If you’re in Colorado this Fourth of July, I hope to see you at one of our four worship gatherings, on Thursday or Sunday, in Berthoud or Loveland.
