 As much as I enjoy the anthems and fireworks, more than that is called for on this July 4th. We need to confess our moral failures and our national sins. Repent of the lies that have justified killing innocent babies and the elderly. Renewal begins on our knees. It's there we hear soul-searching questions from God himself, asking how long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
