The City On The Hill And You

Wednesday, July 4, 2018

A word on America's true foundation: The foundational vision and symbol of American civilization came from the lips of Messiah who said: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." Yet those words were not directed to the world in general or even to a nation, but to His disciples. That such words could become so identified with an entire civilization is a peculiarity of history and one which reveals the unique greatness of America. Since the vision originated with the Great Commission, America was founded to be a society conceived for the purpose of bearing God's light and spreading it to the ends of the earth. But the mainstream of American culture and society has forgotten its calling and reason for existence. All the more, you as a follower of Messiah must live as an on fire, all-out disciple, a city on a hill, and the light of the world. In an age of darkness, compromise, and great apostasy live your life all the more above reproach; as a light, a witness, and as a city on a hill.
