On this 4th of July weekend, I exhort you, American preachers, do not take Uncle Sam into the pulpit. Carefully consider how you plan worship for this Sunday. A good place to start would be: do not sing “America the Beautiful” or “My Country Tis of Thee” Do not put more flags around the pulpit than you already have (and if you have any take them out!)
