THIS JULY 4TH SEEMS DIFFERENT

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 4, 2023

    ON A NORMAL 4TH OF JULY, AMERICANS GATHER TO EAT HOT DOGS, HAMBURGERS AND WATCH FIREWORKS. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF THAT TODAY, OF COURSE, BUT I GET THE SENSE AMERICA IS NO LONGER WHAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE. I SEE US SLIDING INTO A PIT FROM WHICH IT WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF, EVEN IF WE CAN.

    LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE PROMOTING – THINGS SCRIPTURE CALLS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD. I’VE RECEIVED EMAIL FROM PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LIKE THE COLUMN I WROTE ABOUT SHAME DURING GAY PRIDE MONTH. THEY ATTACKED MY AGE, MY FAITH, AND THE CROSS OF CHRIST. THEY SAID MY VALUES ARE OLD AND PASSING AWAY AND A NEW GENERATION DOESN’T SHARE THEM.

    POLLS INDICATE THAT MAY BE TRUE. ABSENT A REVIVAL WE COULD BE DOOMED. OTHER NATIONS OF THE PAST HAVE EXPERIENCED DECLINE AND DESTRUCTION WHEN THEY FORGOT GOD, OPENED THEIR BORDERS, AND PILED UP MASSIVE NATION DEBT. READ ALL ABOUT THEM IN MY PREVIOUS BOOK “AMERICA’S EXPIRATION DATE.”

    AS WE LISTEN TO PATRIOTIC MUSIC TODAY, WE SHOULD ALSO BE REMINDED OF TWO THINGS. JESUS SAID, “MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD” AND PROVERBS 14:34: “RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION, BUT SIN IS A REPROACH TO ANY PEOPLE.” I’M CAL THOMAS.
