Independence Day 2008

Happy Independence Day!

It's more than the 4th of July; it's a day to reflect and remember how we, as a nation came to be and the high price that was paid by so many. In fact, many continue to be be willing to pay that high price for liberty. Among the many places you can visit online today to commemorate this day is a site called A Soldier’s Mind, worthy to be a starting point if you have a list of essential Independence Day reading.

Did freedom just happen in this country? More importantly, how can we make sure we can keep our freedom? Are we still the home of the brave and land of the free? We don't hear much about liberty from the politicians these days. Why is that? Could it even be possible some Americans don't think independence is a good thing?

My friend Ron Dart has an Independence Day program titled, Beacon of Freedom. It's a good one. You can hear it by clicking on the Born To Win icon on the right side of this blog. I think you'll like it.

Ron points out that God is the author of liberty and it is the calling of our country to shine that light of liberty for all the world to see. It's all about freedom! If it's God that wants us to be free and immersed in liberty, who is it that would wish the opposite for our country? It's something to think about.
