As Americans we celebrate our liberty on the Fourth of July and yet we fail to realize it was not a government which gave us the freedoms but just placed them into a document we call the Bill of Rights. Our liberty of religion, speech, and others are from a Creator and so He is the founder of our rights.
Just as we have a right to religion we also give others the right to have no religion. We also have the distinction of allowing others the right to have a religion which opposes Christianity. A right cannot be abridged by a government nor those who find that religion offensive.
Christ did not come into this world to judge it but to save it. This is the work of the believer. We do not judge others but seek to show those who oppose Christ the freedom in Him. We are saved not by a series of laws or actions but by faith in Him. Therefore we may celebrate this freedom beyond the Fourth of July to include each day of the year,
