We have been blessed to live in the greatest country that has ever existed. I have travelled all over the world and have been amazed by the lack of freedom that other nations have to endure. Did you know that in most other countries a church must be government approved? Also many churches in other countries live in fear of being shut down or fined by their local police. We could go on and on about this topic; I'm saying all of this to say that we are one of the few nations that are blessed with the freedom to worship without interference or persecution by our government. July 4th is a day in which we celebrate our independence, but for God's people we also celebrate the exceptional freedom that we have to worship and serve our God. May God continue to bless America.

Happy Independence Day
July 4, 1776 was over 230 years ago, but the events of that day impact what we are doing right now. In the declaration of Independence these words were written:
“We think it is obvious...That all men are created equal. That they have a god given rights, that no one can take away including LIFE, LIBERTY and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
No part of the Declaration of Independence is more right than those words. Only God gives life, freedom, and the blessing of true happiness. Over 230 years ago those words were written to declare independence from oppression, however those words also declare a dependence upon God. Whether it is overcoming oppressive regimes or sin; freedom can only be found in a relationship with God. Today as we celebrate our independence as a nation, do not forget to celebrate our dependence upon the God who gives us real freedom and the blessing of His love and grace. May God bless you this 4th of July.
