Happy Independence Day everyone! Today is a great day in our nations history and a landmark on the history of the world. Though we can sit here and talk about the Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, we are going to look at this a bit differently. No matter what your beliefs are about if this country was founded on the Christian beliefs or not, there is a single freedom that we seem to forget about.
Recently we have been discussing the ideas of love and how we can dare to have the purest of the forms of love. As Christians we have to be reminded on a daily basis that no matter what the world does to us we are still free from the greatest of all oppressors: sin. No matter what the world will throw at us, no matter the circumstance, we are free. If you live in a nation oppressed by a king, dictator or tyrant, just remember if you are in Christ you are free and that this life is only temporary. We as a nation are free in Christ no matter what government tries to define, change or oppress. So if you feel you are living in a nation of lack freedom remember, you are free through love. So here's a dare: share this freedom with someone who feels oppressed and help lift them up.
