Billy Graham Daily Devotional Tuesday July 4, 2017
Topic: Religious Freedom
Key Verse:Â Fear God and honor the government. – 1 Peter 2:17 (TLB)
MESSAGE: On this Independence Day we should be on our knees thanking God for all He has given us. The United States is a country in which everyone has an equal opportunity.
Thank God for a country where there is no caste or class to keep a man from going to the top. If a man has a will to work and study, he can go ahead regardless of his background. In addition, thank God, He has given us freedom of religion. Whatever you may believe, no one can close your church because your religion does not coincide with his.
