We live in the greatest country on earth.  Our heritage is amazing.  Our history is filled with examples of the grace of God.  Our impact has been nothing short of phenomenal.  America has been the bastion of freedom for over 230 years. The United States has been the fountainhead of world missions for nearly as long.  Freedom – political and spiritual – has been the leading export of these United States.  Things aren’t what they used to be.  I’m keenly aware of the decline of the American Republic.  However, there is no disputing the blessing of God on our land and how He has used us over the years.  It’s great to be an American.  It’s wonderful to be a citizen of the land of the free.  We have much to celebrate because God has certainly shed His grace on the United States of America.
