Before We Worship

This Lord's Day is Independence Day. It is an incredibly important day for the history and consciousness of our nation. Every American is inexorably defined by it. And we ought, indeed, to be grateful for the blessings God has bestowed upon us in this nation.

That said, every Lord's Day, 52 times a year, we are drawn into a story that is greater and more precious than the American story. The Lord's Day defines us more than the Independence Day defines us. And when we meet to worship, we do not meet as Americans who happen to be Christians. Rather, we meet as Christians who, for a few years of our brief lives, are Americans. In God's presence, and as his worshippers, we are the citizens of a Kingdom that transcends time, geography, language, race, and everything else that divides mankind. Rather, we meet simply, but profoundly, as men and women created in God's image, fallen in sin, rescued by Christ, indwelt and kept securely for eternity by God's Spirit. This is simply glorious. There is more beauty and glory in the small morsel of bread and the taste of wine than even the most elaborate July 4th fireworks can approximate.

So, here is the bottom line. Happy July 4th! But, more importantly, happy Lord's Day!
