Aaahhhh, FREEDOM!

Hope you have a great celebration on this 4th of July as we celebrate our country's independence. Remember it did not come without a cost. Many men and women have sacrificed their lives for our nation and many continue to do so. I am thankful for our freedom in this country and especially as it relates to our religious freedom.

As we think about freedom, we can also think of our freedom in Christ. We have been freed from the slavery of sin. Sin no longer is our master. We have a new master if we have placed our faith in Christ. Some would say that if I have a master that is not freedom. However, we will always have a master as Romans 6 tells us. We are either a slave to God or a slave to ourselves. Being a slave to God and obeying Him is true freedom. Being a slave to self is bondage in sin.

Have a great day celebrating your freedom as an American and your freedom as a believer.
