Patriotism in the MidWest, but Freedom in Christ Jesus!

We love America. It has been a safe haven for innumerable peoples for way over 200 years. 

We who love the LORD God of the Bible cherish our freedom in this country. We love the LORD and we love America.

These two things seem to go hand in hand, but that is not the real case.

To love the LORD God of the Bible, to trust in His Son, Jesus as our Savior, to look for comfort from the Holy Spirit is universal around the world in every country, free or oppressed. 

Our love, trust, and devotion to the LORD is primary to us no matter where we live.

It is God we trust - not people. Let us live vibrantly for the LORD where ever we are!

"So, as those who have been chosen of God, 
holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, 
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, 
whoever has a complaint against anyone;
just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

Beyond all these things put on love, 
which is the perfect bond of unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, 
to which indeed you were called in one body;
and be thankful.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, 
with all wisdom teaching and admonishing 
one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 
singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Whatever you do in word or deed, 
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 
giving thanks through Him to God the Father."
