Today we celebrate our independence as a country and all the freedoms associated with it. Tomorrow we celebrate our dependence on Christ and the true freedom that comes only from a relationship with Him as Savior and Lord. I am thankful today to be an American but even more thankful to be a Christ-follower. Today I pledge allegiance to the flag but also to the Lamb who was slain so that I might be completely free of the sin that tries to ensnare me.
