Happy Independence Day!

When an American spots red, white, and blue, we recognize the colors of our freedom.

But even in the absence of color, we feel that same pride for our country.


It isn't the colors that establish us as Americans, blessed with the freedoms that we hold dear. It is the sacrifice of others that has bought our freedom that we are blessed with through our citizenship to the United States of America.

As Christians, our liberty in Christ was bought at a great price as well.

May we hold all of our freedoms dear and be thankful that we are free indeed!


Father God, I pray that each of our readers, family, friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ will celebrate this holiday in an awareness of the blessings of our freedom. I pray for their safety over the holiday weekend and that you would keep each one of them in your care. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
