Happy 4th of July! As you continue to safely celebrate the awesome freedoms we enjoy (especially being able to surrender to God’s loving guidance openly to become increasingly transformed into Christ’s likeness daily without legal/governmental persecution), we as people of this great nation who call ourselves Christians should also remember to use those same freedoms to encourage, care for, celebrate, listen to, and love on the friends, family, and anyone else we are around in His likeness! Check out John 3:16-21, Ephesians 4:17-32, and Romans 12:9-21 individually or as a group for more examples of, and conversation starters for, what life looks like truly lived out as followers of Christ as well!
