4th of July the independence day just pass so swiftly, here in Las Vegas there are lots of activities that were done and the fire works I heard were the proof that Las Vegas did the best of celebrating the freedom we have here in United States.

Different places, different cultures, different ways, and we have different dates in celebrating the independence day. But the march the parade of the independence day, though some preparations are differ from each other it reflects the same spirit of freedom.

We can expect in general celebrations for independence day aside from the programs of the main events, the parade, music, and fire works is the dinner in every homes.

The commemoration of those heroes who fought for the country and this is very emotional especially to those men in uniforms.  We salute all of you. 

John 8:34-36 - Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. NIV

It's a glorious day we have freedom from under the control of other countries. It's vey important thing to celebrate. We're no longer under the laws of other country. The freedom we're celebrating is obvious from the laws of which we usually don't agree.

Our country leaders had the chance to build it's own laws for it's people to follow. Because the laws of the country is needful to have the peace and order we're looking for.

We all know that freedom is not a license for us to do bad things.

I just quote a verses above. We're all once slave of something in our life. slave in sin. we're so grateful that somebody freed us from the slavery of sin.

There are prison bars in our life sometimes we don't even know we have:

• Bad vices - There are people when somebody give an advise not to do it, the result will be the riverse. And they'll respond they can do it it's there freedom. These people don't want to be freed from the vices.
• Guilt - People still living in their past life, they can't be happy in a way because they're slave to the guilt of the past.
• Fear - Slave in fear, picture it how could a person move with freedom if the fear is controlling their lives.
• Hate - Some people controls the heart and mind of the others. People who entertain hates in their lives are seems they're letting these hate sowers to rent free in their lives. Why not free yourself from this kind of slavery.
• Superstition - Any belief, based on fear or ignorance, that is inconsistent with the know laws of science or with what is generally considered in the particular society as true and rational; such a belief collectively.

Try to learn to forgive yourself of entertaining this kind of slavery then try to forgive those hate sowers and those people for what we believe supposed to be a good model but is not, so that you'll be freed from this kind of controlled life.

Gal 5:1- It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
NIV

Gal 5:22-24 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
NIV

All things on earth has a limitations even Presidents, Kings, wealthy persons, the most famous and so fort, all of us has limiitations. Because all living things is living under the laws of each kind. Humans have our own laws, animals have their own, even the creations has their own.

Only God has no limit and because of that people with God in their hearts where there is love, joy, peace, paience, kindnes, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control could feel the same way because these attributes brings freedom in everything. Against such there is no law.

All of us were once a slave of something in our life. Since we accept our personal saviour the one who gives us freedom, our life becomes new. That feeling of released in our life came when the spirit of peace, spirit of self-control and much more takes controls our life.

These verses are treasures to all people who needs freedom from all shackles of life.

Phil 4:8-9 - Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
NIV
