July - Birth Month of Our Country

Greetings Burners,

July is here. The birth month of the United States of America, the beginning of the 232^nd year of its life and a new season for the Burn Tulsa.

This being the birth month of the United States, it seems appropriate to recall some of the history of this nation. Conceived in 1630 and called ‘the shining city on a hill’ birthed in 1776 by the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a signing inspired by the cry ‘God has given America to be free!’ The freedom that God has given this nation has allowed a platform to be built from which the gospel is being preached like never before. The freedom in this land has enabled some of the greatest inventions which are used to bring the gospel to the farthest parts of the earth. Electricity was discovered here, the telephone invented, the Wright brothers flew, all because we have been allowed to dream in this nation and see our dreams fulfilled.

Some say that freedom is never one generation away from being lost. God has a plan for this nation, and it will come to pass. We are the ones who are bringing it to pass! We aren’t the only ones, but we do have a part to play, a song to sing, a stone to place in the house of God which will remain forever. What will be said of us 100 years from now, 1000 years from now? Will we look back on our lives we lived today with regret, or will we along with the thousands of lives we touched look on these days and say the darkness kept passing away and the true light continued shining as God crushed Satan under OUR feet. This is the Enoch generation, the generation that walks with God. We will fulfill our call!
