TODAY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE DAY WE AMERICANS CELEBRATE OUR FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY.

When brave Americans fought to secure our right to govern ourselves!

This beautiful right gives us the freedom to go to church or not go to church. It gives us the freedom to vote or not vote. It gives us the freedom to celebrate holidays or not celebrate holidays. All in all it gives us the freedom to think and act independently and make our own choices.

This is a wonderful privilege. We are blessed to be Americans and have these freedoms!

The problem is sometimes we take these freedoms for granted. Jesus reminds us that with FREEDOM comes responsibility!

In the book of John, Jesus is questioned by his very own people regarding His identity. He clearly tells them that He and the Father are One, and His Father sent Him and they act as One.

Then He makes a very important statement that sets the standard to live in FREEDOM and make good choices with that FREEDOM!

Just because we have the freedom to make a choice, doesn’t mean that every choice we make is right!

The only way to make a right choice in each moment of our lives is to know Jesus and His word and follow it!

THIS IS THE WAY TO TRUE FREEDOM!

“If you abide in my Word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set FREE.” John 8:31-32

Jesus Himself is The Truth and if we believe in Him and follow His Words we will make the choices that truly set us free!

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

TRUTH BOMB

TRUE FREEDOM IS IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE!

So as we watch the fireworks light up our night skies and thank God it is not the “rockets red glare,” or “ the bombs busting in air,” we are watching, let’s rejoice in our country’s freedom but remember our true freedom is in Christ!

Happy 4th Everyone!

Speak Truth Love
