Pastor Barron Greenwalt highlights William Wilberforce’s legacy as a model for modern activism against slavery and oppression. Wilberforce’s faith-driven efforts abolished the slave trade and inspire current battles against issues like child trafficking. The call is for today’s church to actively confront injustice, restore moral integrity, and advocate for the vulnerable.
Hinduism is a vast faith with around one billion followers, emphasizing concepts like karma and samsara, which relate to life’s cycles and spiritual liberation. The pursuit of moksha, liberation from these cycles, is central to Hindu belief, but Christianity offers an immediate path to salvation through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. Key theological distinctions exist between the two faiths, regarding the nature of God, humanity, and salvation. The article encourages respectful dialogue while sharing the gospel, highlighting the transformative message of Christ as fulfillment and offering hope beyond the cycle of karma, alongside affirming equality and unity in God’s image.
Pastor Barron Greenwalt of En-Joy Ministries emphasizes the critical role of faith in maintaining the nation’s fabric amidst rising secularism and government control. He warns against a void left by diminishing religious influence, urging believers to reclaim their spiritual heritage through active community involvement and deepening faith, ultimately supporting liberty and personal responsibility.
On July 4, 2025, En-Joy Ministries celebrates Independence Day, reflecting on the courage and sacrifice that birthed America’s freedom, rooted in Christian faith. Pastor Barron Greenwalt explores how liberty, a gift from God (Galatians 5:1), demands responsibility. Biblical unity (koinonia, Ephesians 4:3) calls Christians to fellowship in Christ, mirroring the nation’s founding spirit. Dependence on God, not just independence, sustains us, as Proverbs 14:34 affirms. A heartfelt prayer seeks unity, wisdom for leaders, and renewal, urging believers to uphold God’s principles for a thriving nation.
The United States’ freedoms are eroding as Christian influence declines. Freedom House data shows nations with Christian heritage, like Norway and South Korea, rank among the freest. In America, taxes and government overreach stifle liberty, while welfare dependency grows. Scripture (2 Chronicles 7:14) calls for national repentance to restore our Christian roots. Benjamin Franklin warned, “A republic, if you can keep it.” Without a return to biblical values—honesty, responsibility, and compassion—our liberties risk further decline. Let us pray, repent, and act to preserve the republic before it’s too late.
