Happy 4th of July!

Galatians 5:1 (NKJV)
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

“Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.” –attributed to Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Happy 4th of July!! Today, may we thank God for His amazing blessing of freedom in this country! It is truly such a privilege that God has blessed us with, living in such a wonderful country, and I pray we do not take this gift for granted. Many in other nations do not have freedom of religion, the press, or any other freedoms. God has granted our country many freedoms!

But the question is, will we use that freedom for His glory? I received an email update this morning from the president of a prominent pro-life ministry, where he remarked, “independence from tyrants presumes a right to one’s own life.” He went on to explain that the Constitution is clearly against abortion and that Christians must fight for the unborn and stand up for life. Will we speak for those who have no voices, when the Lord has given us a free country in which we may do so? Or will our silence display our agreement with those who take life?

As we celebrate the freedom God has so graciously granted to our nation, may we pray that He continues to guide it on the right paths–that all Christians and government leaders will stand for life, Israel, marriage, and other Biblical values. God bless America! 🎆🎇
