FREEDOM

I don't know if I was patriotic as a kid; I believe being in the armed services put me in that frame of mind. Today, I weep at the sound of "taps" and the National Anthem sets me off too. I can see through the problems of today to the core problem of evil verses good. This weekend we celebrate Americas Independence from a radical government who tried to dictate what we Americans must do.

Perhaps we traded one government for another slightly better. Freedom must continually be won. Our new enemy is death, and Jesus has given us freedom from that. Unbelievers aren't trying to be free, but trying to take OUR freedoms away. Yes, we must continually fight to help save the helpless who are being deceived. amen?
