Since July 4th is imminent, I thought it would be a good idea to look at what true independence is and how we can attain it in our lives. True independence comes from the relationship we establish between us and Jesus Christ as well as God the Father. Hopefully, we can let the fireworks of July 4th remind us of the power and majesty of God and our true independence we have through Jesus Christ.
