This country was built upon the foundation of freedom. Yet this was not just based upon the opinion of the nation’s founders – it is rooted in God’s founding of the human race. Man in his natural state is free (speech, thought, action, association, etc.). God gave us free will so that we would choose to serve Him. Yet Satan, from the beginning, has worked diligently to bring man into bondage. Why? A lack of freedom hinders one from serving God and having a relationship with Him.
