Helping Freedom Flourish

The freedoms granted to the people of the United States of America are rooted in the rights God has given us as beings created in His image. As Americans, we have the freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, including the right to make mistakes and suffer the consequences of them just as God gave us free will.
In this fourth part of the Pro-Life series, Pastor Ken discusses freedom of religion and what that entails for the Christian. Too often the lines of church and state are blurred or crossed. It is important for believers to understand our civic duties as given by God and where we might need to take a stand against rulers and authorities when the law of man conflicts with the law of God.

Pastor Ken also shares the responsibility Christians have to use both their religious and spiritual freedoms to be a blessing to others. We have been gifted with a government system that allows every person a voice and a vote regarding the things that matter to them. By speaking up for the protection of the helpless, justice of the oppressed, and safety for our brothers and sisters in persecution around the globe, the Church can influence those around us to do likewise.

God has granted us many liberties. May we, like the Apostle Paul encouraged, use our freedoms not for selfish gain, but to serve one another in love. (Galatians 5:13)
