Welcome to Sunday in the House at The Meeting House. As we approach Independence Week and celebrate 250 years of national achievement, we find ourselves engaged in a fierce struggle for the very character of our country.

In this week's commentary, Dr. Dwight A. Moody dives into the historical roots of the "culture war," tracing its evolution from the pushback against civil rights to the current effort to reshape America into a land of restrictions, forced religion, and isolation. Most importantly, he addresses the dangerous temptation to wrap this political movement in the name of Christianity.

If we want to talk about true faith, we have to talk about the red-letter Jesus—the humble, truth-speaking Christ who welcomed everyone, healed the sick, and brought blessings instead of bombs.

Plus, a special musical feature! Dr. Moody shares his newly edited version of "America the Beautiful," expanding the lyrics to honor the native tribes, black and brown communities, and refugees who have shaped our grand estate. Performed a cappella by old friend Dan Terhune.

Look past the ugliness of our times and discover the good, the hopeful, and the peaceful.
