Anchored in Liberty: The Guardrails of America’s Destiny | Pastor Paul Zink II
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
What keeps a society from veering down a slippery slope of confusion and chaos? In this timely message, Pastor Paul Zink II reflects on America’s unique foundation and the vital spiritual guardrails required to preserve true freedom. Sharing the hilariously bizarre but true story of Larry Walters—who fulfilled his 20-year dream of flying by tying 45 weather balloons to a lawn chair—Pastor Paul reminds us that while America is uniquely a land of dreamers, human ambition must remain tethered to the Word of God.
Drawing from Psalm 33:12 ("Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord") and Proverbs 14:34 ("Righteousness exalts a nation"), he explores the shift in culture from the 1940s to today. He challenges the church to stop worshipping its blessings and return to worshipping the Blesser, calling for a new Great Awakening to preserve the ancient landmarks of faith for the next generation.
We exist to lead people to a new life in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
