Independence Day

Posted in General at 3:08 pm by Jeff

Happy 4th of July. As always, our cherished freedoms face threats, both foreign and domestic. Today we celebrate the ideals which have made this nation great: the freedom of faith, the freedom of free markets, the freedom of man.

We pray for those in harms way and for a quick end to the war.

We pray for our leaders that they would keep the protection of freedom at the top of their agenda, rather than their personal reelection campaigns.

We pray for the freedom of all mankind from oppression and tyranny.
