As you anticipate celebrating July 4 , praise God for our heritage of religious freedom and ask Him for the grace to use this gift to serve Him . Before our very eyes our culture is eroding this freedom. Let the battle motivate you to ask God for a greater understanding and experience of true freedom in Christ. For more thoughts see Putting God back into the Holidays, pages 225-231.
May God greatly bless you this holiday!!
