Reclaiming Religious Freedom - 13th Sunday in OT

On Wednesday, Americans will celebrate Independence Day, a day which affords us a great opportunity to consider the freedom we enjoy today – and may so often take for granted. How many men and women have given life and treasure to purchase for us our right to liberty? One of the most precious freedoms we enjoy as Americans is the Freedom of religion. Unfortunately, in the past decade, we have seen multiple assaults on religious liberty. We pray that we can proclaim Christ in Peace, but no one will prevent us from our mandate to proclaim the Kingdom of God! This Independence Day, that us renew our “eternal vigilance” before everything we know is taken away from us. Just as Jesus Christ died to give us true freedom, so many of our countrymen have died to give us the liberty that we possess and enjoy and dare I say, so often take for granted.
