Representing God’s Greatest Gift FREEDOM

On Sunday, July 4, 2010, America celebrates her 234th birthday. On this day,beneath the 120-foot glass ceiling of the Crystal Cathedral (and seen on thetelevised Hour of Power), you’ll witness the raising of the giant nine-story high

American flag—the world’s largest indoor flying flag. The presence of this huge flagawes persons into tearful and pride-filled silence. Why does this flag flown on thisholiday inside this church affect our emotions in this powerful way?

It’s because God Almighty, through his Son, Jesus Christ, has proclaimed unlimitedfreedom, liberty, and grace for all. Forever. His love is boundless, for...

“Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17).

The Bible is filled with stories of human beings struggling to grasp and apply theimmeasurable value of God’s greatest gift—freedom. Freedom from slavery (Romans8:15). Freedom from selfishness (Galatians 5:13). Freedom to choose leaders (1 Samuel). The Independence Day event we commemorate on July 4 is a celebration of freedom—the freedom that inspired one of the most recent, greatest, and most successful endeavors to build a nation governed by valuesbased on God’s biblical truths.

America’s Declaration of Independence remains an unparalleledexample of Possibility Thinking...a goal on the horizon...clearly inview...sometimes within reach, sometimes not. Whereas theDeclaration of Independence announced the intention, theUnited States Constitution became the framework forachieving the dream. And symbolizing all the possibility-filled ideals found in these two documents is the American Flag.

In 1973, Dr. Robert H. Schuller had an inspi-ration. He asked himself, “If the American Flagcould talk, with the wisdom of nearly two hundredyears of history behind her, what would be her words forus today?” With this unique idea as his inspiration, he wroteand delivered a message from the pulpit of what was thenthe Garden Grove Community Church, and it was seen and heardover his new weekly televised program, Hour of Power. He titled his new message:

“I AM THE AMERICAN FLAG.”

Freedom cont. from page 1

In the Broadway musical, 1776, John Adams sings the lyrics, “Is anybodythere? Does anybody care? Give up the fight, John! They want me to quit!”

What if John had given up the fight? What if he had quit? America existstoday because a handful of brave men (and women) refused to quit, refused togive up the fight. Even though there appeared to be no hope, even though by allaccounts they should never have won, they believed in the impossible and the restis history!

My husband, Jim, my sons, and I watch the movie version of the Broadwaymusical, 1776, every year on the fourth of July as a family tradition. It is adelightful reminder of the faith and courage of America’s founding fathers andthe freedoms that we enjoy as a result.

Today, there are so many of you who are facing the impossible. Some of youhave prayed and prayed and are not seeing the answers that you had hoped for.I wonder, have any of you called out in the dark silent night, “Is anybody there?Does anybody care?”

Well, this ministry is here to remindyou week after week that we are here!We care! That’s because Jesus caresabout you! He came to earth to die toshow you just how much he cares foryou. And he has commissioned us toshow you that he is there for you and hewill never leave you or forsake you!

So, we will not give up the fight! We will not quit! We will keep on striving until we climb over, find a pass through, or simply stay and turn this mountain into a miracle with God’s help—so we can bethere for you and for the many others who write and call us every week, saying:

“Sheila, I gave my life to Jesus. Thank you for saving my life.”“Sheila, I am on death row. You are my spiritual lifeline. I don’t know what I’d

do without you.”“Sheila, I have never been to church in my life. I saw you throwing sandbags off

the pulpit. I have never watched you until I was surfing the channels and saw you. Ilost my twin babies this past week. Please pray for me.”

Thousands and thousands of these letters, phone calls, and emails—telling oflives being saved—arrive every week. Many of them are from struggling young people who cannot afford to give.

YOU are the stars of this ministry, keeping it sparkling bright to shine God’slight on viewers near and far. YOU are the stripes of this ministry, helping to moveit straight forward in its God-ordained mission to save lives through a message ofhope. And, in the process, YOU are saving lives!

Any gift you give this year means that hope and love and life can be born in thehearts of millions of people who cry out, “Is anybody there?
