On this date in history, 07/04/1775: General Washington reaffirms Gen. Ward's order for all troops to attend prayers and Sunday services. #otd #tdih #americanrevolution
Today the United States celebrates Independence Day. Independence from Great Britain came at a great cost, the war began at Lexington in 1775 and General Cornwallis surrenders in Yorktown in 1781. The formal treaty wasn’t ratified until 1783, two years after the victory. Being able to declare victory takes time no matter what the struggle is and we need to make it known to our enemy that we no longer choose to be ruled by them. If you are struggling with your own personal enemy such as sin, don’t be afraid to declare war on that sin. You will need a strong ally to help you, our Creator is the most powerful ally you can ask to help you obtain victory over the sin in your life. It may take some time but victory can be yours and even you can declare that you will live in the house of the LORD forever.
Happy Fourth of July to those of you who live in the United States! My thoughts are on freedom this morning, so I'm starting with a blog post that talks about how looking into God's Torah brings freedom. Next I share a post on teaching history from the Bible. Finally, I am listening to a video I recorded in 2020, during the height of Covid, and examining reasons why people chose to homeschool in the pandemic. Good reminders! https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/IEOo.

You’ve been set free!
If you’ve ever been in debt (or known someone who has), you know the impact it has on a person. When you’re in debt, your money, time, or resources aren’t your own—they’re continuously being taken from you, and often with interest.
No one wants to be enslaved to a lender, and yet—every one of us has owed a debt we could never pay off.
The ancient Greek word for “sin” means “to miss the mark.” It was originally used to describe an archer’s arrow that didn’t hit the center target. In archery, it didn’t matter whether your arrow was close to the mark or far from it. If you didn’t hit the center, you lost.
In Scripture, the “mark” is the standard God asks us to aim for—but we all miss it. We miss it when we choose selfishness over humility, and anger over gentleness. We miss it when we lie, cheat, steal, slander, complain, and gossip. We miss it when we tear people down, and disobey God’s command to love others. Sin prevents us from becoming the people God created us to be.
But the good news is: Jesus saved each of us by sacrificing Himself for our mistakes. We couldn’t pay off our debt of sin in a million lifetimes, but He freed us from it in one moment.
And because He paid our debt, He wants us to live as free people.
When we pursue anything that separates us from God’s Spirit—whether through legalistic actions or lawless decisions—we act like Jesus hasn’t set us free. But when we choose to love others like Jesus loved us, it shows we value Jesus’ sacrifice and want to embrace the freedom He bought for us.
So how do we live free?
We accept that what Jesus did was enough for us, and then we commit to loving Him.
As our love for God grows, His Spirit helps us unconditionally love others. Instead of holding a grudge, the Spirit helps us forgive. Instead of hurting someone, the Spirit helps us encourage people. Instead of using people, the Spirit inspires us to humbly serve.
The more we love, the more we embrace our freedom—and because of God’s love, nothing can take our freedom away.
