Subject of sermon at my wife’s church yesterday was:
Freedom is not free.
Given by the pastor who is a retired naval aviator.
Furthermore, to back up the message, for the recessional, the organist played the anthem from each of the armed services and vets were encouraged to stand while their’s was playing.
I think I need change churches.
I can’t speak to the timing, but my current and last church recognized our service men and women on Independence Day. I wholeheartedly approve. We have the freedom to worship because of our soldiers.
I wouldn’t go to a church that didn’t appreciate their service and sacrifice. It came home the other year when a friend lost her kid brother, a member of our church, to the war.
Your response to your church sounds like a leftists response.
