Religious Freedom August 8, 2015









1 Peter 2:17     Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.

Proverbs 24:21    Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,

Matthew 22:21     "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "So give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

Romans 12:10     Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Romans 13:7     Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

On this Independence Day we should be on our knees thanking God for all He has given us. The United States is a country in which everyone has an equal opportunity. Thank God for a country where there is no caste or class to keep a man from going to the top. If a man has a will to work and study, he can go ahead regardless of his background. In addition, thank God, He has given us freedom of religion.

Whatever you may believe, no one can close your church because your religion does not coincide with his. A few people meeting in a small, out-of-the-way shack, worshiping God as they believe in Him, have the same right to religious freedom as the people who worship God in the great cathedrals on the avenues of our greatest cities.

Prayer for the day:  Thank You, God, for allowing me to live in the greatest, grandest, and most free land the world has ever known.
