Independence Day - What Does it Mean to You?

Throughout our nation's history, many people have made great sacrifices to secure our freedom. Today, we see people rioting in the streets, calling for liberation from our government. More and more, our people are turning against each other, and Jesus tells us that a house divided cannot stand. We recently observed the anniversary of our nation's independence, but most people seem to have forgotten what that day truly means. The freedom our founding fathers worked to establish is very different from that which angry crowds call for now. What does Independence Day mean to you?
