As we near the 250th Anniversary of our nation let's consider the providence of God. Carey Dean is a writer, teacher, and regular contributor for the Ankerberg Theological Research Institute (ATRI).
Excerpt:
"Two hundred and fifty years is long enough for memory to grow thin. The graves remain, but many no longer know the names. Behind the freedoms we now speak of so easily are weathered headstones, family Bibles, folded flags, and prayers no history book ever recorded.
That is why America’s 250th anniversary should not pass before Christians as a mere civic marker. It should become a moment of sober gratitude. Not the gratitude of national pride or selective memory, but the kind of remembrance that bows before the Lord and says, “Thank You,” while also saying, “Have mercy.” If we cannot say both, we have not remembered truthfully."
