“Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.” – Ronald Reagan
God is the author of Freedom. When this nation was founded it was founded on the principle that freedom is a gift from God. Whatever you may have read or heard about the commitment or lack of commitment to God of our founders, at the very least, even with the Deists, God was acknowledged as the originator of Freedom. The nation looked to the Church for leadership of both persons and ideology.
God has richly blessed us. In spite of our sins, His hand has sustained and protected us, and used us as a blessing for other nations. I’m praying for a renewal of true freedom. Freedom that is founded on the truth that it is the Son that sets us free… free not to just do anything we please, that has become the meaning for many, but free to do the right thing, to make the right choices, to build others up, to serve God faithfully, to love our neighbors as ourselves, free to be the people God created us to be.
This Independence Day let us acknowledge our complete Dependence on the God who has given us Freedom.
