Happy Fourth of July!*

For our international readers, July 4 commemorates the 1776 Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Since inception it has been a day to celebrate freedom. Freedom that was won and secured by countless men and women who gave their lives so that we could live free.

So as you go to your parades, picnics, reunions and fireworks, pause to give thanks for those who continue to pay the price to protect our freedom across the globe, and to God the Father who sent His own Son into this world so that all who accept this free gift may enjoy ultimate freedom.
