Soon our nation will celebrate the 4th
of July, and with that
celebration we can take a few moments to reflect on the freedoms
that we enjoy in our nation. In the United States, we have a
number of freedoms established for us in the Constitution and the
Bill of Rights, such as the freedom of religion. (This is not just the
freedom to worship inside a church building once a week, but the
freedom to practice our faith every day of the week outside the
church building as well! Put that freedom into practice by being
active in your faith publicly each and every day, wherever you are!)
In addition to our freedoms in the United States, we can also
remember that our greatest freedoms ultimately come from God. He
is the one who has given us freedom from fear, freedom from
condemnation, freedom from death and hell. He has set us free in
the forgiveness won for us by Jesus Christ in His death on the cross.
Thanks and praise be to God for the freedoms He has given us!
In Christ, Pastor Clayton
