**Freedom 250** – Why I Love America
Fifty years ago on July 4th, 1976, Shirley (my fiancee) and I were helping to coordinate The Spirit in ’76 rally near Philadelphia led by Leland Paris and YWAM Hammonton. Thousands gathered in the “birthplace of freedom” during that bicentennial year to thank God and intercede for the United States of America.
I have a large and beautiful Bicentennial Bible on my bookshelf that highlights the 200-year celebration. Shirley is now my wife of 50 years and Leland recently graduated to heaven at age 87.
This week we celebrate the 250 years of freedom of the most influential nation on earth.
I want the USA to bring glory to God for the next 250 years (if the Lord tarries).
Here’s why I love America.
Freedom 250: The Five Thousand Year Leap
America just saved the world (again) in the War with Iran. The Islamic Republic is a satanically-inspired terrorist nation. They were close to having atomic bombs to use against Israel, the USA, and other countries.
Iran doesn’t respect “mutually assured destruction” (MAD). They believe blowing up the planet will bring the final Mahdi (Messianic Muslim Ruler) to usher in sharia to the cosmos.
We destroyed their navy, air defenses, and economy to bring them to their knees. They surrendered under our terms while we negotiate an enforceable agreement and pray for the Persian people to overthrow them.
America is back as we approach our nation’s 250th birthday.
One historian calls the “miracle of America” a five thousand year leap.
Post Iran War: What Are the World’s Greatest Threats?
President Donald Trump announced Sunday evening that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) had been reached with Iran. It read:
The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow! President DONALD J. TRUMP.
The 14 point MOU was released today with 60 days of negotiations following. President Trump signed it on behalf of the USA on Wednesday at the Palace of Versailles in France.
With Iran War now behind us and gas prices beginning to fall, I’ve been thinking about the greatest threats that America and the world face during the summer of ’26.
