Introduction This weekend we want to celebrate our nation's independence. We have very much to be grateful for. We pause to say "thank you" for fathers on Father's Day and for mothers on Mother's Day, and it seems appropriate that we take time to reflect upon our country on Independence Day. If you're trying to decide what movie to rent or go see, your decision will be based on what kind of a mood you are in. If you want to laugh, then you watch a comedy.

Introduction Let's pray before I begin so that we may look to him for light. I'd like to use a prayer that John Calvin wrote in the 16th century that expresses what is in my heart and I hope what is in yours as well. The church has a double calling: on the one hand to live in the world, and on the other not to conform to the world. The first is a call to worldliness, as opposed to otherworldliness—getting involved in the life of the world around us.
