ACE #244: Celebrating the Fourth of July

Wikipedia states:

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States of America commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain (now officially known as the United Kingdom). Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.

Are you free to worship?

I heard someone say, "True freedom comes from the inside out!" We take many of our freedoms for granted. As we celebrate the 4th of July, or Independence Day, let us all be mindful that some people are still not free to worship God or claim a specific religion.  Many have been persecuted and put to death for doing so. 

Be grateful for your religious freedom. 

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