On this Fourth of July, we give thanks for the blessings of liberty entrusted to our nation.

Freedom is not simply the work of human hands but a gift from God, calling us to live with gratitude, responsibility, integrity, and faith.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” - 2 Corinthians 3:17

As we celebrate, may we remember that true freedom is found in Christ, and that the freedoms we enjoy as a nation are best preserved when guided by His wisdom and truth.

Happy Independence Day!
