Happy Independence Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What comes to your mind when you think of Independence Day?<\/p>\n

For many Americans, the Fourth of July serves as a day to watch fireworks, barbecue and have a good time with friends and family. While there is nothing wrong with having these traditions, it is important to remember the reason behind why we celebrate this holiday.<\/p>\n

Samuel Adams, the father of the American Revolution, was bold in proclaiming his faith. To him, signing the Declaration of Independence meant no longer submitting to Great Britain, but rather, submitting to the Lord. As a result, America would be free from the power of man and able to serve Christ. What a significant day in history!<\/p>\n

It is important to remember what our duties are as Christians. We are called to serve Christ and Christ alone, and it is such a blessing that we can live in a country where we have the freedom to do so.<\/p>\n

Often times, the enemy will use distractions to keep us from fulfilling our duties as Christians. Being distracted by all that happens on the Fourth of July can cause us to lose sight of the true meaning of the holiday. This is dangerous, as it can ultimately cause us to stray away from Christ.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So, why is it important to acknowledge the significance of Independence Day, and how can we do so in today\u2019s world? To continue reading click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
