Whether this is a Christian nation may be secondary and consequential to this poignant consideration: Am I a Christian? How many ask the former question to avoid facing the latter? How often do I find myself so worried about what everyone else is doing that the soul-searching work of fulfilling God’s purposes in my own life never gets done? No one is going to do God’s work, with God’s love, in God’s Name but God’s people. Be one of God’s people! This is no time to shrink back. There is work to be done.

Mark Beeson is the pastor of Granger Community Church in Granger, Indiana, where they’re doing the work and doing it well!
