Freedom of Religion

It may be different for you, but this is the primary reason I celebrate Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for the freedom I have to live out my faith.

Yesterday in China, a pastor and four other church leaders were sentenced to prison for worshiping in their homes. It would probably be healthy for you to read the entire article to both be reminded to pray for other people throughout the world who don’t have our freedom and to thank God for the freedoms we have in the United States.

I know it’s not politically correct to say this, but I still believe I live in the greatest country in the world. I’m thankful for it. I don’t take it for granted. And, I pray for others who don’t share that privilege that they will stand strong in their faith when persecution is at its worst.
