Happy Independence Day! John Adams once said, “Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.” Since our nation’s founding, countless souls have given their lives fighting for our freedoms. Independence Day is an opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate that sacrifice while celebrating our great nation.
The United States was founded on the deeply held belief that all people are born with unalienable rights. Today, as you gather with family and friends, we encourage you to reflect on the biblical principles and values that have made life as you know it a reality. We’ve been given the glorious gift of freedom, now we must preserve it. Happy Independence Day!
