Spurgeon Saturday
Our Land of Liberty
On this 250th anniversary of the United States of America, we ought to thank the Lord for the freedom we have to worship him in this land of liberty. What a gift.
Back in 1878, Spurgeon made these comments below about England, and we can apply them to ourselves today in 2026.
“How grateful we ought to be that we can meet together to worship God after that form which best satisfies our consciences without any fear of being hunted down by the authorities of the land…We worship God in unlimited liberty, and we ought to be exceedingly glad of the privilege, and infinitely more grateful for it than we are…Blessed is the land in which we dwell, and blessed are the days in which we live, when in all peace and quietness we worship God in public and sing his high praises as loudly as we please. Great God of peace, thou hast given us this peace, and in remembrance of our hunted forefathers we bless thee with our whole hearts!”
